Margaret Constance Williams was born on April 15th of 1997 in Bristol, England. Her parents separated when she was four months old, and she was subsequently raised by her mother and stepfather in a council house (the UK equivalent of a housing project). During her early childhood, Maisie’s mother worked as a university course administrator, although she would later leave her job in order to focus on assisting Williams with her acting career.
During her early years, Margaret earned the nickname “Maisie” and engaged in musical theatre, ballet, gymnastics, and a number of other dance disciplines. Initially, her goal was to become a professional dancer. By the age of 14, she left secondary school due to her rising fame as an up-and-coming actress in “Game of Thrones.”
Maisie’s acting career began at the age of 12 when she was cast as Arya Stark in the first season of “Game of Thrones.” She then established herself as a talented young actress, playing one of the most interesting characters in the series. Williams did most of her own stunts and fight scenes during the show’s run and was prominently featured in the episode “The Long Night,” which included the longest battle scene in film and television history. Williams eventually appeared in all eight seasons of “Game of Thrones.”
