Childhood and Early Life: New York

In summer 1998, a baby's cry echoed through the delivery room at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in New York. Maya Ray Thurman Hawke, the tiny daughter of two beloved American actors, announced her arrival to the world. They met on the set of the film Gattaca in 1997. In May of 1998, they got married, and a month later, little Maya was born.

Her parents shielded their daughter's childhood from Hollywood's corrupting influence. Along with her younger brother Levon Roan (born 2002), Maya spent time at the family farm in Woodstock. She studied in New York. Later, she enrolled at the prestigious Juilliard School, alma mater of Kevin Spacey and Robin Williams.

The famous couple's 2005 divorce had little impact on her relationships with both parents. Both actors brought their children to premieres, Hollywood parties, and red carpet events.

Maya was timid and camera-shy as a teen (complete with braces), but this shyness would later serve her well. Her parents didn't push their daughter into the spotlight, gently advising her not to worry but simply smile and enjoy the experience.

The Start of a Career

Before Maya turned twelve, she was already enchanting everyone with her inimitable smile and charm, becoming a spokesperson for All Saints S/S'17, appearing in a Calvin Klein commercial, and making her debut at the Tom Ford F/W'18 show. There, she appeared in a gorgeous dress alongside radiant stylist Zac Posen. Wearing another of his dresses, she attended the CFDA Awards, New York's most prestigious award ceremony. He accompanied her there as well.

When her character—an ice cream girl in a sailor costume—appeared on television, her mom Uma wrote congratulations on Instagram, posting a picture of Maya in a swimming pool lying on a rubber ring that looked like a mermaid's tail.
The post read: "You're the best mermaid. This weekend became the triumph of Stranger Things. Congratulations, my love. Her father didn't stay silent either, officially introducing her to his followers. In his post, Ethan Hawke also said that Maya writes music and is worth everyone's attention.
The talented actress also appeared in the short drama Charlotte XVI by Myna Joseph. Together with Annalise Basso and Ariela Barer, she appeared in the thriller Ladyworld by Amanda Kramer.
