Childhood and Youth

Hailee Steinfeld was born on December 11, 1996, in Los Angeles. Her mother, Cheri Steinfeld, is an interior designer, and her father, Peter Steinfeld, is a fitness trainer. The actress has an older brother, Griffin, who became a race car driver.

Hailee's distinctive appearance comes from a diverse family background. Her father is Jewish, while her maternal grandfather was half Filipino and half African-American. But her family didn't just bless Hailee with good looks – they also passed down considerable acting talent. Her cousin once removed was Larry Domasin, a well-known actor from the 1960s and '70s, and her first cousin is actress and model True O'Brien (Paige Larson on "Days of Our Lives").

Actually, it was watching her cousin in a commercial that inspired 8-year-old Hailee to try acting. When a childhood friend invited Steinfeld to his school play, it reinforced her interest in acting. "It was so cool seeing someone I grew up with on stage. It made me realize nothing's impossible," the actress says.

The actress's mother still thanks her daughter's teacher for spotting "something in Hailee" and recommending her for a gifted program. But before aiming for bigger things and movie auditions, Hailee spent a full year taking acting lessons – mainly to give her parents peace of mind. Her parents wanted to make sure Hailee was serious about this new passion. "Before this, she'd tried horseback riding, tennis, basketball, and other sports, but never really stuck with any of them," her parents share.

Acting Career

At 10, Hailee Steinfeld landed her first roles through her agent. These started as roles in commercials and short films. One of Hailee's most notable early roles came in "She's a Fox."

With an increasing number of film offers, the young girl switched to homeschooling. This was the only way she could manage both work and studies.

At just 13, Hailee landed the lead role in the Coen brothers' western "True Grit". In the film, she plays Mattie Ross, a determined girl who leaves home to track down and punish her father's killer, the outlaw Tom Chaney. Steinfeld wowed the Coens with her convincing performance and real-world skills—shooting lessons from her father and horseback riding experience that proved invaluable on set.

The film, which starred Hollywood actors Matt Damon, Jeff Bridges, Josh Brolin, and Domhnall Gleeson, received critical acclaim. Time magazine's Richard Corliss hailed Hailee's performance as one of 2010's finest. Her breakout performance earned Steinfeld an Oscar nomination, though the award ultimately went to Melissa Leo for "The Fighter."

In May 2011, five months after the release of "True Grit", Hailee became an ambassador for the Italian designer brand Miu Miu. Even more exciting was landing the lead in "Romeo & Juliet," based on Shakespeare's timeless tragedy.

The role of the lovestruck beauty was originally intended for a 22-year-old actress. With 14-year-old Steinfeld cast in the role, the script required significant revisions to remove most nude scenes. Her Romeo, Douglas Booth, was 20 during filming.

Hailee's next standout performances were in the romantic drama "Begin Again" (2013) with Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo and in Gavin Hood's science fiction film "Ender's Game" (2013) about the fight against hostile aliens.

In November 2015, the rising star dropped her EP "Haiz"—a nickname her fans had given her. Despite her debut single's success, the four-track album got mixed reviews. Her July 2016 single "Starving" connected much better with listeners.

Hailee also continues to pursue her musical career: in 2023, she released a new single, SunKissing. Like her previous track Coast, it's a nod to her California roots:
I was able to create an entire universe, which I had never managed to do with music before. This is really the first time I've managed to build a real world. Everyone felt a bit of it with 'Coast', but this [SunKissing] is so much more.

  • It has always been surprising that many famous actors have such different roots, like Hailee`s - there were Jews, and Filipinos, and African Americans.
