Biography of Sadie Sink

Sadie Sink shot to fame right at the start of her acting career. The young red-haired actress joined the cast as new student Maxine in Stranger Things' second season and quickly became one of the Netflix hit's standout characters.

Childhood. Early Acting Beginnings

The actress was born on April 16, 2002. Sadie Sink is originally from Brenham, Texas. She grew up there with a younger sister and three older brothers. Her father coached a local youth baseball team, so all his kids played sports from an early age. But Sadie admits she never loved sports as much as her brothers did.

Sadie began to demonstrate her acting ability at a very young age. When she was barely seven, she appeared in a local production of High School Musical alongside her brother Mitchell. After seeing their daughter perform, her parents enrolled her in an acting school for kids and teens.

The Houston school required a long commute, but two years later, Sadie landed a role in a Broadway production of Annie, based on Harold Gray's comic strip Little Orphan Annie.

First Roles

In 2013, the young red-haired actress made her TV debut. She played in an episode of the spy TV series The Americans with such leading actors as Keri Russell, Noah Emmerich, and Matthew Rhys.

While continuing her Broadway work, Sadie guest-starred on the police drama Blue Bloods in 2014. In 2015, she played one of the leads in American Odyssey, portraying Anna Friel's character's daughter.

In the 2015 Broadway production The Audience, Sadie had the opportunity to work alongside Helen Mirren. Sadie played the young Queen Elizabeth, while the British actress portrayed the monarch in her later years.

In 2017, Sadie landed her first major film role in the biographical drama The Glass Castle. Its scenario was based on Jeannette Walls' memoirs; Naomi Watts and Woody Harrelson were its leading actors.

Stranger Things

According to the actress, she wasn't nervous when she auditioned for the second season of the much-talked-about Stranger Things – she was actually excited. Sadie found out she'd landed the role during a speech technique class at acting school.

The role of Maxine Mayfield – half-sister to Dacre Montgomery's unpredictable and brutal character – seemed tailor-made for Sadie. Max initially showed her discontent about moving to Hawkins in every way possible, but eventually fit in with the local teens and even became their leader.

Interestingly, Sadie had already met Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin) and Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas) before – they'd crossed paths backstage at Broadway shows without knowing they'd eventually work together. She met Millie Bobby Brown on set for the first time, though. The actresses quickly became friends, despite their characters' rocky relationship on the show.

Viewers were thrilled to see where the story would go next, and the new character made the series even more compelling – all thanks to the young actress's performance. In 2018, along with Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and Noah Schnapp, Sadie was nominated for MTV Awards.

Shortly after the second season premiered, Sadie signed with fashion brand Miu Miu as an ambassador, joining Chloë Sevigny, the Fanning sisters, and Julia Garner.

Private Life of Sadie Sink

Sadie grew up in Texas where, she says, life revolves around barbecues. One day, while she was already performing in Broadway musicals, the young actress and her parents went to a restaurant where they were served a whole grilled piglet with vegetables. She said she was shocked when she saw the dish – she'd never really connected the bacon she ate for breakfast with an actual living animal.

That evening completely changed her perspective, and she gave up eating meat. When Sadie met Woody Harrelson on the set of The Glass Castle, she went fully vegan – cutting out all animal products, including milk and eggs.

When asked "What is happiness?" Sadie answered, "It's doing what you love most."

The actress loves reading; her favorite book is The Great Gatsby.

Sadie Sink Now

Summer 2019 brought a new season of Stranger Things, with Sadie continuing her role as Maxine. The actress revealed new dimensions of her maturing character's personality, with Max getting significantly more screen time this season. That same year, Sadie joined Millie Bobby Brown and young model Kaia Gerber as one of three fashion influencers in a new Miu Miu campaign.

Meanwhile, Sadie was developing other projects. These include the film Dear Zoe (2021), two Fear Street installments (2021-2022), and an upcoming Darren Aronofsky project whose title remains under wraps.

It also seems to me that it would be easy for Sadie to break into the model. She is so beautiful

Do you think «The Americans» is worth watching? I still doubt it, I want to watch it purely because of Sink.
