Born Margaret Constance Williams on April 15, 1997, in Bristol, England, Maisie has grown from a child star into a versatile actress, entrepreneur, and inspiring young woman who continues to redefine her path with courage and authenticity.
Williams burst onto the international scene in 2011 at just 13 years old when she was cast as Arya Stark. Over eight seasons, she portrayed the young assassin with remarkable depth, evolving from a spirited tomboy into one of the most compelling characters in television history.

In 2026, she is set to appear in 500 Miles alongside Bill Nighy and other notable actors, as well as Practical Magic 2, highlighting her ongoing presence in both blockbuster and intimate storytelling.
Beyond acting, Williams has established herself as a forward-thinking entrepreneur. She co-founded Daisie, a digital platform designed to connect and empower emerging creatives in the arts. This venture reflects her passion for supporting the next generation of talent and her desire to build community in an often isolating industry. She has also become a voice for mental health awareness, body positivity, and staying true to oneself while growing up in the public eye.
At 29, Maisie Williams radiates confidence and maturity. Fans admire her down-to-earth personality, quirky sense of humor, and commitment to privacy.
