Bella Ramsey's Parents Are Supportive of Her Career - Facts about the Young 'Game of Thrones' Star

Bella Ramsey's parents on TV and in film have been rather horrible. Examples include her character's dad in "Game of Thrones," who sent her to a fiery death, and "Judy," where she grows up in a broken home as the daughter of Judy Garland.

Fortunately, outside the realm of television fantasy and film, Bella Ramsey's parents are more concerned about her general well-being. Her mother was with her when she completed her schooling early during a break in filming during the pandemic.

The five foot one-and-a-half actress' maturity that comes across on her social media platforms and in interviews makes it hard still to identify her with the 'child star' label. Out of respect for her family, she does not post about her family on social media, rather using her raised profile to promote her projects and champion important causes.

The Ramsey Family Stays out of Spotlight

Isabella May Ramsey was born on September 30, 2003, in Nottinghamshire, England. Her family is not in any of her red carpet press photos but features prominently in glowing anecdotes about the "His Dark Materials" actress in interviews.

The actress said in an interview that her family is very supportive and proud of her career in the entertainment industry. She shared an anecdote about the moment that she found out that he landed the role of Mildred in "The Worst Witch:"

"When we got the phone call, I was with my mum, sister, cousin, and auntie; there was a lot of screaming and excited jumping. You could have filled a bathtub with the proud teardrops!"

An Instagram tribute dated August 21, 2020, demonstrates the maternal influence in the young starlet's life, present but just out of the frame. In the image, she gives thumbs up to everyone continuing their schooling amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

The breakout "Game of Thrones" star's parents did not allow their daughter to watch the violent HBO hit.

She identifies her mum's thumb on the edge of the image that gives nothing away, not even the color of her fingernail. It shows that the matriarch is on hand to support her daughter in her education - and making content.

Bella comes from a creative background. Her father, Alex Ramsey, a businessman, is a trumpet player. Between the ages of eight and thirteen, she participated in a comedy theatre group with her big sister.

It would be exciting to see if her older sibling will join her in the industry, maybe in a fun romantic comedy like sisters Hillary Duff and Hailey Duff's 2006 flick, "Material Girls." The actress thanked her "incredible family" after winning a BAFTA British Academy Children's Award in 2019.

The breakout "Game of Thrones" star's parents did not allow their daughter to watch the graphic HBO hit when she was cast as Lady Lyanna Mormont. She was allowed only to view the scenes she was in but admitted that she asked for it to be turned off because she picked at her performance.

Bella Ramsey's Role in 'Game of Thrones' Led to Many New Opportunities

Lady Lyanna Mormont was only meant to have a single scene in "Game of Thrones," Bella brought the character alive to such an extent that she embodied the sensitive noble for nine episodes over three seasons.

Proving her acting ability so early in her career means that she was now in the privileged position of being on the radar of casting directors. She played Lorna Luft, the daughter of Judy Garland, in the 2019 biopic with Renée Zellweger in the title role.

The star is also a gifted musician; she wrote and performed "The Life of Hilda," which was featured in the Netflix animation "Hilda," in which she also played. She added to her duties as the first person on the call sheet in "Catherine Called Birdy" by penning "Birdy Song" on the soundtrack.

HBO has shown their trust in her ability to be a leading actress by casting her as Ellie Williams in "The Last of Us," in which she stars opposite Pedro Pascal.
