Sadie Sink
Born on April 16, 2002, in Brenham, Texas, Sadie Elizabeth Sink is an American actress who has transitioned from a Broadway child prodigy to one of the most respected dramatic talents of her generation. The daughter of a football coach and a math teacher, Sink began her journey in community theater near Houston before landing the title role in the Broadway revival of Annie (2012) and playing a young Queen Elizabeth II alongside Helen Mirren in The Audience (2015). Her life changed permanently in 2017 when she joined the second season of Stranger Things as the iron-willed, skateboarding Max Mayfield. Her performance reached a cultural zenith in Season 4, where her portrayal of Max’s grief and survival—soundtracked by Kate Bush’s "Running Up That Hill"—earned her critical acclaim and solidified her status as the show's emotional heart. Outside of Hawkins, she has taken on challenging, high-art projects, notably starring in Taylor Swift’s All Too Well: The Short Film (2021) and earning a Critics' Choice nomination for her raw performance in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale (2022). As of early 2026, Sink has officially said goodbye to the Upside Down following the massive release of the Stranger Things series finale. In the 2026 documentary One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5, Sink is a central figure, reflecting on the "untraditional maturity" required of her as a child actor. The documentary reveals the physical and emotional toll of her final scenes, particularly those involving her character’s complex journey back from the brink of death and her final confrontation within Vecna’s mind. Following the show's conclusion, Sink has pivoted toward prestigious stage work and massive blockbuster franchises. In March 2026, she is set to make her London West End debut as Juliet in a highly anticipated production of Romeo & Juliet directed by Robert Icke. Simultaneously, she has been confirmed to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Spider-Man: Brand New Day (set for July 31, 2026), with widespread rumors and fan theories suggesting she will portray a "homegrown" version of the iconic mutant Jean Grey. Personally, Sadie Sink remains a vocal advocate for animal rights and has been a committed vegan since 2016, a lifestyle choice she credits for making her feel "physically and spiritually better." Her influence extends into the fashion world as a global ambassador for Armani Beauty and the face of luxury campaigns for Prada and BVLGARI, where she is often praised for bringing an "effortless elegance" to high fashion. Despite her global fame, she maintains a notoriously private personal life, rarely discussing her dating history and emphasizing that her focus remains on the craft of acting rather than the trappings of celebrity. As she approaches the mid-2020s, Sink is poised to balance her indie-darling roots with her new status as a major franchise lead, with her schedule already filled with filming for future Avengers installments slated for late 2026.
