Personal life

Broadway debut and *Victorious*

Gillies began pursuing acting at age 12 through local open casting calls and appeared in commercials, including campaigns for Virgin Mobile. Her early screen work included a recurring role as Young Jenny in The Black Donnellys and parts in The Clique, Harold, and Locker 514.

In 2008, she played Lucy in Jason Robert Brown's musical 13. The production moved from the Goodspeed theater to Broadway, where it became the first Broadway production with a cast and band made up entirely of teenagers. Gillies remained with the show until it closed in January 2009.

Her breakthrough came in 2010 when she was cast as Jade West, a bad girl and occasional antagonist, on Nickelodeon's Victorious. During the show's four-season run, she performed on the Victorious, Victorious 2.0, and Victorious 3.0 soundtracks. Her duet with Victoria Justice, "Take a Hint," earned Gillies her first platinum certification from the RIAA.

From *Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll* to *Dynasty*

Gillies expanded beyond Nickelodeon with film and television roles including Mandy in Animal, Heather in Vacation, and Callie Ross in the television film Killing Daddy. She also played Gigi, an aspiring singer and the daughter of Denis Leary's character, on the FX comedy series Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll from 2015 to 2016.

In 2017, Gillies took the leading role of Fallon Carrington in The CW's reboot of Dynasty. She played Fallon throughout the series' 108 episodes and temporarily took on the role of Fallon's mother, Alexis Carrington, after Nicollette Sheridan left the production. Gillies also appeared as Kelsey in the 2018 film Arizona and voiced Catwoman in the animated feature Catwoman: Hunted.

Music and return to the stage

Gillies has continued to work as a singer alongside her acting career. She collaborated with Seth MacFarlane during the COVID-19 pandemic on the extended play Songs from Home, released in 2021, and later made the album We Wish You the Merriest with him in 2023. She also recorded "Santa Baby" with Ariana Grande in 2013.

In 2025, Gillies returned to musical theater as Audrey in the Off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors, appearing opposite Milo Manheim as Seymour. Her stage work also included a 2013 reading of Jawbreaker: The Musical.
