In 2023 she made her feature length movie debut in Bottoms from director Emma Seligman.[1]

Career

In 2018 Cruz played the younger version of Annie Wilkes, played by Lizzy Caplan, in Castle Rock (TV series). Cruz received praise from TVLine for the way she captured the physicality of the Caplan performance.[2] In 2020 Cruz appeared in season 10 of Blue Bloods.[3]

In early 2021 Ruby Cruz appeared as Jess Riley in the HBO drama series Mare of Easttown.[4]

This was followed by Cruz's announcement in March 2021 as being cast as princess Kit Tanthalos in the first season of the Disney+ series Willow[5][6][7] - which premiered in November 2022. The Willow series acts as a direct sequel to the 1988 film of the same title. Though Kit has been Ruby's most notable role to date as the first openly queer Disney princess, she has since followed with her feature film debut as Hazel Callahan in Bottoms (2023).

Personal life

Cruz identifies as queer.[8][9]
