Early Life

Kathryn Love Newton was born on February 8, 1997, in Los Angeles and is the only child of Robin and David Newton. From early on, Kathryn had her sights set on Broadway stardom. "In New York, I'd watch the musical 'Gypsy' almost every day and even became friends with Bernadette Peters," Newton recalls. Additionally, she took up golf at the age of eight.

Newton's dream started becoming reality when she began acting at a young age. Despite frequent film shoots and a packed schedule, she didn't switch to homeschooling, though she only made it to regular classes sporadically.
"Every year I ran for school president, but few recognized me. My classmates probably wondered, 'Who is Kathryn Newton? Does she really study here?'"

Acting Career

Kathryn Newton began her acting career at the age of four, debuting in several episodes of the soap opera "All My Children" and two short films.

At 10, she landed the role that put her on the map worldwide. The young actress portrayed Louise Brooks in the CBS series "Gary Unmarried." The sitcom follows a paint company employee navigating divorce while trying to build new relationships and raise his kids. Kathryn Newton played the main character's daughter—a wise-beyond-her-years honor student and cellist who idolizes Mahatma Gandhi, Al Gore, and Che Guevara.

From 2014, Newton has been a regular in the popular American fantasy TV series "Supernatural."

Kathryn then landed major roles in "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" (2017) alongside Frances McDormand and "Ben is Back" (2018) with Julia Roberts. In a fun coincidence, red-haired actor Lucas Hedges played her character's brother in both films. Newton also teamed up with Hedges in 2017's "Lady Bird," following an eccentric teenage girl (Saoirse Ronan) navigating the ups and downs of growing up in a small town.

For Newton, joining the Marvel universe was a lifelong dream:
I've always wanted to be in a Marvel movie my whole life. Mainly because I'm a huge fan. I've watched every Marvel movie in theaters with my dad. For me, it's a dream come true, and I'll do everything I can to be the best superhero ever.
Newton also landed a leading role in 2023 in the comedy horror "Lisa Frankenstein" alongside Cole Sprouse and Carla Gugino, where she once again plays an unpopular high school student dealing with supernatural forces.
