Alana Haim is an American musician and actress, best known as the youngest member of the acclaimed rock band Haim, which she formed with her two older sisters, Este and Danielle. Born on December 15, 1991, in Los Angeles, California, Haim was raised in a highly musical Jewish family in the San Fernando Valley. She began playing percussion at age four and, along with her sisters, was encouraged to listen to classic rock and Americana. The family even formed their own band, Rockinhaim, playing covers at local fairs and events. The sisters officially formed Haim in 2007, releasing their debut EP Forever in 2012, which led to a record deal with Roc Nation and their critically and commercially successful debut album, Days Are Gone, in 2013. The band has since released two more albums, Something to Tell You and the Grammy-nominated Women in Music, Pt. III.Haim's acting career took off with her leading role in Paul Thomas Anderson's 2021 coming-of-age film Licorice Pizza. The director, who had previously helmed several of the band's music videos, wrote the character of Alana Kane specifically for her. Her performance, which was her first professional acting role, received widespread critical acclaim and earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress – Motion Picture Comedy or Musical, as well as a BAFTA nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Since her debut, she has appeared in films such as The Mastermind and the upcoming Paul Thomas Anderson film, One Battle After Another (2025).
