Childhood, Youth, Family
Madelyn was born in winter 1997 to Mark and Pam Cline in the small town of Goose Creek, near Charleston, South Carolina. Her father was an engineer, and her mother worked as a real estate agent.
Among the brands Madelyn endorsed were T-Mobile (a telecommunications provider) and Sunny D (a sweet beverage manufacturer).At the age of 10, I began working in New York for print advertising campaigns. I loved the city and enjoyed spending time on set with other creative people, while also saving money for college – a win-win for everyone. I always loved being in front of the camera and the world of cinema, which eventually led me to pursue acting as a career.
I'd used up all my allowed absences. I really wanted to keep going to classes, but deep down, I knew I didn't want to spend my time that way – I wanted to at least try to break into the film industry. So I dropped out of school, packed my stuff into my car, and moved to Los Angeles. It was one of those moments when you feel there's no turning back. Terrifying, yet incredibly exhilarating.
Acting Career
Cline left college when she began appearing in television series such as "The Originals" (Jessica) and "Stranger Things" (Tina). Concurrently with her move to Los Angeles, Madelyn landed the role of Taylor Watts in the comedy "Vice Principals."
After the first season dropped, Madelyn got her first taste of fame. Even her friends started calling her Sarah, not to mention journalists and fans. With its newfound popularity, the series continued with second and third seasons.Sarah yearns to find her own voice, even though she feels that her life's path has already been predetermined. I, too, felt that my life was meant to follow a specific formula: attend school, earn a degree, find a job, find a husband, and settle down. Personally, this never suited me, as I wanted to achieve something beyond the conventional blueprint for my life. I believe Sarah is the same.
You know those moments in life when you simply look around, at your life, and think, «How on earth did I end up here?» I'm incredibly fortunate that every day I go on set – and it feels like a miniature existential crisis because I'm working with people I've admired my entire life.
