Millie Bobby Brown, star of the Netflix original hit "Stranger Things," has been nominated for an Emmy award. If she wins, she'll be the youngest Emmy winner of all time at 13.
The Emmy Awards have always been fairly selective when nominating young actors and actresses for awards, despite the magnitude of child actors working in television over the years.
There have only been 11 actors under the age of 18 nominated for an Emmy, and only two actors in that age group have won since the award show began in 1949.
In anticipation of the 2017 Emmy Awards in September, we rounded up the youngest Emmy nominees and winners of all time — including the possible record-breaking win that could occur.
Here are the youngest Emmy nominees and winners of all time:
Patty Duke, 18-years-old
Duke was 18 in 1964 when she received an Emmy nomination for her work in her self-titled show "The Patty Duke Show."
Sara Gilbert, 18-years-old
Gilbert was nominated for best supporting actress at 18, in 1993 for her portrayal of broody teenager Darlene Conner on "Roseanne."
Malcolm Jamal-Warner, 16-years-old
Jamal-Warner became a contender for a best supporting actor Emmy at 16 for his role as the goofy, relatable Theo Huxtable on "The Cosby show" in 1986.
