That same year, she made a guest appearance on the USA series In Plain Sight.

Willow’s big break happened in 2011, when she was cast as Primrose Everdeen in the much-anticipated film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ science fiction novel The Hunger Games. Directed by Gary Ross, the film starred Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Elizabeth Banks and was released in 2012. Willow then went on to star in an episode of R.L.

She has also played starring roles in the movies Into the Rainbow (2017), Woodstock or Bust (2019), and in the upcoming film, A Fall From Grace, alongside Vincent D'Onofrio.
