Mentioning her distinct features, Lia has green eyes, short brown hair, and a triangular face.

Lia McHugh Net Worth

Lia McHugh garnered a net worth of under $150 thousand by 2021.

For this child star, acting feels like playtime; even when that playtime involved stories about someone’s descent into madness. Lia has been performing in musical theater ever since 6, including the role of Mary in The Secret Garden. She revealed that she enjoyed the “dramatic scenes” the most. “I don’t know why. It seems like they’d be depressing to do, but I have a lot of fun doing them,” she added.

Her IMBD movies and TV show credits included A Haunting (2016), Totem (2017), Along Came the Devil (2018), American Woman (2018), Into the Dark (2019), Songbird (2020), and a few more. Most of which were horror movies. It seems like Lia has probably seen more horror movies than your average 14-year-old.

In 2021, Lia was one could 9 being a part of the superhero movie Eternals. But don’t let the hype about Eternals sway you away from the news that she was also cast as a lead in A House on the Bayou set to premiere in late 2021. 

Reportedly, she will be playing Anna the 14-year-old daughter of Jessica and John, who gets discouraged by the tension she feels rising within her family. Also, to escape her parents, she becomes dangerously intrigued by the attention of a handsome, and older boy.

Did you know: Lia made it to Variety’s 2021 Power of Young Hollywood Impact List.
