In the John Carpenter-directed movie, Lily was one of a group of unnervingly powerful children born after a mysterious event left the town of Midwich in a deep sleep.
When the residents awakened, they found all women of childbearing age mysteriously pregnant, resulting in the birth of children with extraordinary abilities.
Lily stood out with her striking platinum blonde hair and haunting gaze.
As the plot unfolded, Lily and her peers demonstrated their ability to manipulate and control those around them, raising questions about morality and the nature of humanity.

In an interview with The Guardian, Danielle reflected on her experience in the film at such a young age, assuring, “I always knew we were acting, it was playing.
"My hair was long, dark black, and they cut it really short and bleached it platinum blond. My hair really did get damaged, it’s so sad.”
On teasing the public with her newly-learned skils, she added: "We had got so accustomed to walking in our formation that we did it while we were walking there.
"This was a tiny town and we would scare people. There were times we did our stare just to freak people out, because we knew we could.”
