Maya Hawke, celebrity offspring, stars in Wes Anderson's Asteroid City
Maya Hawke is an actress and model emerging into stardom in Hollywood. She's known the world of show business since she was a little girl. Can you tell from her name and the image who are her parents?
Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke are Maya's parents. The actors met while filming 'Gattaca' in 1997. They fell in love and married in 1998. Their marriage lasted until 2005.
Maya Hawke was born in New York in 1998. She aspired to become an artist like her parents, and as a teenager, she took classes in the prestigious Juilliard School in New York.
In 2019 Maya appeared in 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood,' the acclaimed Quintin Tarantino movie. As such, she follows in the footsteps of her mother who starred in one of the first big Tarantino films, 'Pulp Fiction,' and continued working with him the two 'Kill Bill' movies.
That's the question. Apart from the fact that she has her own style, Maya bears resemblances to both parents.
One of the actress's first jobs was the role of Jo March in a BBC version of 'Little Women,' the classic by Louisa May Alcott.
She also participated in one of the most iconic series of our time: 'Stranger Things.' Here we see her on the left with the now-famous cast.
From a young age, Maya Hawke has attended fashion shows as a viewer, but she also walked the runway a few times herself. Here she is at the 2023 Met Gala.
She has released two albums so far: 'Blush' and 'Moss'. They are not as famous as her acting, but Maya is trying to develop all her talents anyway.
And in between high-fashion events, Maya Hawke's film career is on the rise. In 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' Maya played one of the cruel disciples of Charles Manson, the head of the sect that murdered Sharon Tate in 1969.
She also appeared in 'Fear Street, Part One' (image) and 'Italian Studies' in 2021. Upcoming movies are the biopics 'Maestro' (about Leonard Bernstein) and 'Wildcat' (about Flannery O'Connor) as well as a thriller, 'The Kill Room'
On June 16, 2023, Wes Anderson's movie 'Asteroid City' premiered. Among the star cast - including Scarlett Johansson and Tom Hanks - is also Maya Hawke.
In typical Wes Anderson style, the film is a combination of science fiction, comedy, and romance. The director wrote it together with Roman Coppola, the son of the famous filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. Maya Hawke plays a young teacher at a 1955 convention for amateur stargazers. A fantastic opportunity for a young, upcoming actress!
