Early career
She started acting young, with small roles on British and American television. Her unusual middle name, Tiger, is part of her stage identity and often draws curiosity from fans.
Game of Thrones
Free played Myrcella Baratheon in seasons five and six of HBO’s Game of Thrones, taking over the role from another young actress. The part was relatively small but placed her in one of the most watched series ever made.
Too Old to Die Young
She also appeared in the stylised crime series Too Old to Die Young by Nicolas Winding Refn, which showed a darker side of her range.
Servant
From 2019 to 2023 she played Leanne Grayson, a mysterious young nanny, in M. Night Shyamalan’s psychological thriller Servant. The part required her to be both unsettling and sympathetic, and it earned her widespread praise from critics and viewers. The series ran for four seasons.
The First Omen
In 2024 she took the lead in The First Omen, a prequel to the 1976 horror classic, playing Margaret, a young American who travels to Rome to become a nun. Critics highlighted her performance as one of the film’s strengths. The movie confirmed her move from television supporting roles to film leads.
Why age searches are common
Because she began acting as a child, many viewers remember her young and are surprised by how quickly she has grown into an adult lead. Her age is also a talking point for casting questions, since she plays characters who look younger or older than she is.

Acting approach
Directors and co-stars describe her as intense and focused. In Servant much of the tension comes from small facial changes and long silences, which depends on precise control rather than big gestures. Her performance in The First Omen required physical and emotional extremes, and she has said in interviews that preparing for it involved a lot of research into the original film’s themes.
Growing up on screen
Child actors face particular challenges moving into adult roles. Free has handled the transition by choosing parts that are different from each other: a royal teenager, an enigmatic nanny and a young novice in a horror story. That variety helps casting directors see her as an adult actor rather than a former child performer.
Fans and social media
Her audience follows her projects closely, and posts about Servant theories were popular during the show’s run. She keeps a measured presence online and mostly shares work updates and occasional behind-the-scenes photos.
