Who Is Tim Allen's Daughter, Elizabeth Allen-Dick?

As first announced by Deadline, Elizabeth Allen-Dick made her acting debut alongside her father, Tim Allen, on the Disney+ series "The Santa Clauses." Much like her father has chosen over the years, Allen-Dick appears to be starting off with a role familiar to her real-life world. In the series, she plays Sandra Calvin-Claus, the daughter of Allen's character, Scott Calvin (aka Santa Claus).

In a September 2022 interview, Allen explained to Entertainment Weekly that he only ever intended for Allen-Dick to play an elf in the series, but it didn't take long for producers to elevate her role. "I wanted to put my youngest daughter as an elf, just so she'd see herself in a movie," Allen explained. "But as she was reading for that, she read so well that they said, ”We'd like to read her for more of a part.'"

After realizing the direction the other producers wanted to go, Allen reportedly insisted on stepping aside from that part of the decision-making process out of an apparent fear that his daughter's first role would be seen as nepotistic. Nonetheless, it would seem that Allen-Dick was simply destined for the franchise. "They loved how she read, loved it so much ... They ended up casting her as Santa's daughter," Allen said. "It was a surprise, but it became the most amazing experience."
