My Take
Julia Butters is one of those rare young actors who makes you forget she's a kid — and honestly, at this point, calling her a "child actress" feels almost reductive. She was born in 2009, which means she was only ten years old when she held her own opposite Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, playing the sardonic little actress Trudi Fraser with a deadpan confidence that made grown adults in the audience sit up straight. That scene where she pulls a sandwich out of her bag mid-set? Iconic. Then she showed up in Spielberg's deeply personal The Fabelmans in 2022, which isn't the kind of project that tolerates coasting — and she didn't coast. I genuinely think we're watching the very beginning of a long, serious career, and it's kind of wild that we get to say we saw it from the start.
