Millie Bobby Brown

The Stranger Things star was actually around 11-years-old when she appeared on an extremely dramatic episode during season 11. She plays 11-year-old Ruby who calls into the hospital because her mom stopped breathing.  Eventually she's taught over the phone how to make a clean air way for her mother, which then caused her heart to stop beating. In a dramatic twist, Ruby's phone dies and keeps her mom going until help arrives.
