Early life

Butters was born in Los Angeles, California, to Darrin (a Disney animator from Kearney, Nebraska, who has worked on films like Frozen and Ralph Breaks the Internet),[7] and Lorelei Butters (née Hill, a homemaker from Los Angeles, California).[8]

Career

Butters began her career at the age of two doing commercials. Her first speaking role was the role of Gabby in a Criminal Minds episode of the same name.[9] In 2016, Butters portrayed the recurring role of Ella in the Prime Video series Transparent for eight episodes.[10] Later that year, she began starring in the ABC sitcom American Housewife as Anna-Kat Otto.[11]

When Quentin Tarantino was writing the script of his ninth film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he spotted Butters on television, and later cast her in the role of precocious child actress Trudi Fraser.[12] After she received critical acclaim for this role, Butters and her management team decided to pursue similar opportunities for her, leading her to leave American Housewife after four seasons. She was replaced in her American Housewife role by former Life in Pieces star Giselle Eisenberg.[13]
