Élodie Grace Orkin (born June 10, 2004) is a British and American actress. She is known for her roles in the fourth season of the Netflix series Stranger Things (2022) and the Paramount+ series The Burning Girls (2023). Orkin was born to an English mother, Leah, and an American father, Bill, and grew up between Los Angeles and London. She got into acting when her mother enrolled her in a musical theatre class. She took further classes at the Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts (YADA).
High school senior Carrie White is a social outcast, largely due to being unwise to the ways of the world based on her upbringing. Her mother, Margaret White, is a religious fanatic, her extreme views primarily targeted sex, which she believes is a sin. Mrs. White's beliefs were taken to that extreme largely because of her own failed marriage and her husband Ralph long ago having run off with another woman. The only adult authority figure who tries to help Carrie with her life is her phys ed teacher, Miss Collins, who is nonetheless warned not to get too close to go against how Mrs. White chooses to raise Carrie, Mrs. White whose beliefs are well known in the community. An impromptu event that happens among Carrie's phys ed classmates against her leads to her classmates being punished. One of those students, self-absorbed Chris Hargensen, vows revenge against Carrie for that punishment, the revenge method associated with the phys ed class incident. Another student, however, the popular Sue Snell, begins to feel sorry for Carrie. To help her get out of her shell, Sue asks her boyfriend, the equally popular Tommy Ross, to take Carrie to the senior prom instead of her. All these competing issues lead to Carrie deciding on an impulse to use a newfound skill to free herself from the figurative chains that have long been placed around her, with tragic consequences.
