Born Lily Jane Collins on March 18, 1989, in Guildford, Surrey, England, she is the daughter of legendary musician Phil Collins and his second wife, Jill Tavelman. She began acting at the age of two and, after moving to Los Angeles as a child, also pursued a career in journalism as a teenager, writing for publications like Teen Vogue and Elle Girl. Her breakthrough film role came in the sports drama The Blind Side (2009).
