At just 14 years old, Charlotte Mellington is one of the most compelling new faces in British cinema.

The young actress made her feature film debut in Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights, playing the younger version of Margot Robbie's Catherine Earnshaw. She landed the role after starring as Lavender in West End musical, Matilda, and following the film's release was spotted front row at Emilia Wickstead's London Fashion Week show in February 2026. Mellington has featured in Dazed, Teen Vogue and Wonderland magazines and her acting career is definitely one to watch.
