Life and career

Annalise Basso is the youngest child of Marcia and Louis Joseph Basso, and has an older brother and sister, Alexandria and Gabriel Basso, who are also actors. Most of her initial roles have been on television commercials or small guest appearances on television series. Her first role that garnered attention was her role as Eden Hamby on True Blood. In 2009, she starred in the television film Love Takes Wing from the Love Comes Softly series. When she was 10, she took part in Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? as a student. More recently, she has had roles in episodes of New Girl[1] and Nikita.[2][3]

Basso's first lead role in a feature film was in D. J. Caruso's Standing Up, a coming-of-age story based on the novel The Goats by Brock Cole. The film debuted at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.[4] The story centers on two children, played by Basso and Chandler Canterbury, who are stripped naked and left stranded together on an island as part of a summercamp prank.[5]

In 2014, she starred in the horror film Oculus as a younger version of Karen Gillan's character. Basso gained greater recognition and attention for the critically successful horror film Ouija: Origin of Evil in 2016.

In 2019, she played Heaven Casteel in series of Lifetime movies based on the Casteel saga by V.C. Andrews.

She currently stars as LJ Folger in TNT's apocalyptic crime thriller Snowpiercer, adapted from the movie of the same name.
