Our second edition’s Feature Artist is
Millie Gibbons, an actress from Suffolk, England. When she’s not flying all over the country to film sets or auditioning out of her Lower East Side apartment, she’s shaking drinks and waiting tables at Do Not Disturb, a speakeasy in the West Village. Through embracing her English roots while taking on the chaos of New York City, Gibbons has developed into an actress of many perspectives, skills and accents.
