Elizabeth Gillies grew up in Haworth, New Jersey. She started acting at age 12, going to local auditions and landing commercials for Virgin Mobile and Verizon. Her first television role came in 2007 with three episodes of The Black Donnellys. She also appeared in the film The Clique and the comedy Harold. Gillies attended Northern Valley Regional High School at Demarest for her freshman year but left to pursue acting full-time, finishing high school through an online program. Her big break arrived when she was cast in the Broadway musical 13 in 2008, playing Lucy. That experience connected her with future collaborators like Ariana Grande. [edit]

Gillies rose to fame playing Jade West on Nickelodeon's Victorious from 2010 to 2013. She sang on the show's soundtrack, including the duet "Give It Up" with Ariana Grande. From 2011 to 2014, she voiced Daphne on the Italian animated series Winx Club. In 2014, she starred in the horror film Animal. She then played the lead singer of a band on the FX comedy Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (2015–2016), performing on two of its soundtracks. From 2017 to 2022, Gillies led The CW's Dynasty reboot as Fallon Carrington, a role that earned her a dedicated fanbase. In 2021, she released an EP with Seth MacFarlane called Songs from Home, followed by the Christmas album We Wish You the Merriest in 2023. She voiced Catwoman in the 2022 animated film Catwoman: Hunted. In 2024, she starred in and executive produced the film Spread. In 2025, she returned to the stage in the Off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors as Audrey. [edit]

Gillies is widely known for playing sassy, strong-willed characters like Jade West and Fallon Carrington. Her fans appreciate her sharp wit and comedic timing. She has a distinctive style that blends vintage glamour with modern edge. On social media, she shares behind-the-scenes glimpses of her projects and personal life, often with a dry sense of humor. Her musical work showcases her versatility, moving from pop to jazz and big band. No official fandom name has been reported, but her fanbase remains active across platforms. [edit]

Elizabeth Gillies has yet to claim a spot in iFANN's published rankings, she's been evaluated by the Global Fame Engine but currently holds no placement in the Global Top 1,000 or any Top-100 scope list. That might surprise her 13.1 million Instagram followers, who know her as the razor-tongued Jade West from Victorious or the scheming Fallon Carrington from Dynasty's Netflix-fueled revival. But fame rankings are fickle, and Gillies' brand has always been more cult favorite than mass phenomenon, a fact her devoted fanbase wouldn't have it any other way.

That fanbase, while sizable and active, has never coalesced around a formal name. There's no 'Gillies Gang' or 'Liz Army', fans simply call themselves Liz stans or Liz Gillies fans. It's a fittingly understated identity for a star who prefers organic connection over manufactured branding. They organize mostly on Instagram and X, rallying for streaming pushes of her music, particularly the Victorious duet 'Take a Hint,' which has enjoyed viral resurrections on TikTok, and turning out for her cabaret shows at Birdland, where she offers intimate performances that feel like a secret handshake.

Inside jokes abound, none more beloved than her Instagram bio's self-description as a '70's investigative journalist. Vampire. Barbie.', a line fans meme relentlessly. And when she reunited with Ariana Grande and Matt Bennett in 2026 after 13 years, the fandom collectively lost it, treating it as a sacred moment in their shared history.[edit]

Elizabeth Gillies and Ariana Grande have been close friends since meeting in the Broadway musical 13 in 2008, a bond that became a cornerstone of Victorious fandom. She's sometimes credited as Liz Gillies, a nod to her nickname. In 2025, she performed at Café Carlyle in New York, adding another chapter to her cabaret career. Her voice acting credits include Family Guy, Robot Chicken, and American Dad, and she covered 'Santa Baby' with Grande in 2013. Gillies has Irish and Italian ancestry.

One legend fans still retell is her Broadway debut at age 15 in 13, where she met Grande and launched a friendship that would define her early career. Another iconic moment: the viral afterlife of 'Take a Hint,' her duet with Victoria Justice, which became a TikTok sensation years after Victorious ended. And the Dynasty revival's fifth-most-viewed status on Netflix worldwide turned Gillies into a global star, with Fallon Carrington's withering one-liners becoming GIF-worthy lore.[edit]

Gillies was born to Dave and Lorraine "Lorrie" Gillies. She has a younger brother named George, born in 1996. Her paternal grandfather, John Egan Gillies, served in World War II. She married musician Michael Corcoran on August 8, 2020. The couple does not have children. Gillies keeps her family life private but has mentioned her close bond with her brother and parents.
