Childhood and family

Maude is not the family's only child. She has a younger sister named Iris (born in 2002), who also became an actress. While she has her own film credits, she primarily works on her producer father's projects.

With parents like these, you'd think (and rightfully so) that her fate was sealed – she was destined for Hollywood from birth. Maude refers to her family as a clan, a united front, and best friends.

Childhood roles

Her first acting audition was a hit. She landed the part of Jen in the Grease musical.

Her movie debut came in 2007 – her father cast her in his movie Knocked Up. The film follows a young slacker named Ben (Seth Rogen) and career-driven Alison (Katherine Heigl), whose unexpected pregnancy becomes a life-changing moment.

Two years later, Maude appeared in another Judd Apatow film – Funny People. The film starred Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann, and by the famous comedian Adam Sandler. Maude, once again, got to play the daughter of Leslie Mann's heroine, and her sister was played by Iris.

Judd Apatow's movie was named the comedy of the year at the Hollywood movie festival. Young Maude was nominated for the Best Young Actress award, however, it went to Savannah Lathem for her role in the drama California Solo.

Maude doesn't hide the fact that it was her parents' fame that paved her way to Hollywood.
I have been shooting for my father's movies from early childhood. I didn't really understand what was going on, but I knew I loved it. Now I'm working on my career on my own, but I'm eternally grateful to my father for the push.
Shooting for her father's movies wasn't just an average school pastime for Maude, but a serious preparation for what's to come. It was amazing to film my first roles alongside my parents – they taught me so much, and it was convenient too, Apatow admits.

Her parents were against Maude shooting with other producers until adulthood. But once she turned 18, she spread her wings and began taking on all kinds of projects.

Acting career

In 2015, adult Maude appeared in several episodes of Girls - a brilliant comedy about 4 girlfriends navigating their messy lives. Lena Dunham created the show, and she also played the lead role in the series. Apatow played Hannah's student Cleo, who eventually becomes close with the main character and offers her plenty of sage advice.

The following year, Maude appeared in the comedy-drama Other People, which was released exclusively in North America, and later became available on Netflix. The movie is based on director Chris Kelly's life and his mother who passed away from cancer.

The House of Tomorrow is a smart, insightful film written by someone who truly gets teenagers. Apatow says that her heroine has a lot in common with her own person. I was really emotional and anxious. I was angry because I just didn't know what to do with my feelings," the actress recalls.

However, her teenage years made her a real example for many girls at the beginning of the 2010s. She unleashed her wit and sarcasm on Twitter, where Maude became a mentor and trusted friend to thousands of teenagers, as she could relate with them the best. In 2013, a Twitter user even wrote: I don't know where I'd be right now without Maude Apatow's tweets.
