Maya Hawke

Maya Ray Thurman Hawke swiftly transitioned from modeling to becoming one of Hollywood's most intriguing young talents. Her acting career took flight when she was cast as Jo March in the 2017 BBC miniseries adaptation of *Little Women*, a role that required her to temporarily leave her studies at the prestigious Juilliard School. However, it was her breakout performance as the quirky, observant Robin Buckley in the third season of Netflix’s *Stranger Things* (2019) that cemented her global recognition, showcasing her exceptional ability to handle both comedic timing and deeply emotional scenes. Beyond acting, Hawke is an accomplished singer-songwriter, carving out a distinctly intimate folk-pop niche. Her music career, which began with the release of her debut album *Blush* (2020) and continued with *Moss* (2022), emphasizes narrative depth and poetic lyricism, often drawing comparisons to classic folk artists. Her songwriting process is noted for its highly introspective and literary quality, reflecting her upbringing surrounded by artistic intellect. Hawke has successfully navigated the complexities of being a second-generation Hollywood figure by prioritizing genuine artistic expression over tabloid fodder. She embodies a modern versatility, using her platform to discuss issues like dyslexia and the importance of reading, establishing herself as an authentic voice committed to continuous growth and exploration across multiple creative disciplines.
