These 9 Facts About Dash & Lily Star Midori Francis Confirm She's the Coolest

In May 2014, Midori received a bachelor of fine arts degree from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University.

Francis stars as Lily, one half of the teenage duo who hunt down sixth graders Max (Jacob Tremblay), Lucas (Keith L. Williams), and Thor (Brady Noon) to retrieve stolen drugs. Francis also appeared in 2018’s Ocean’s 8 and was a series regular on The Birch.

Additionally, Francis took home a NYIT Award for outstanding actress in a featured role for her part in the play Connected.

In an interview with POPSUGAR, Francis revealed that Home Alone is one of her favorite Christmas movies, saying, “My dad showed me it. I was scared of getting left home alone, so it was cool to see that played out.”

She also named 2000’s The Family Man as another holiday pick. “I love it,” she said. “The whole theme is about this dad who is not very present. He’s working all the time, and he misses out on the chance to have a family. Then, something magical happens as it always does when it’s a Christmas movie, and he’s able to see what his life could have been like had he chosen a family over his job. It’s so beautiful, it’s so sweet. I always cry. I’m a sucker for family stuff.”
