Juliet Doherty

Juliet Doherty, born June 10, 1997, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has this crazy blend of grace and grit that just jumps off the screen. Seriously, you watch her in Free Dance (2018) and you kinda wonder if she’s made of rubber bands and dreams or something. She’s not just another actress—she’s got this whole dance prodigy thing going on, like ballet is her native language. And it’s not just Free Dance. In Strange Girl in a Strange Land (2019), she brings this weird, mesmerizing vibe to the character, making you actually care about someone who feels completely out of place. There’s a rawness, a vulnerability—like, she’s not afraid to get weird, and that’s honestly refreshing. If you caught her in On Pointe (2018), it’s more of the same magic. She’s got this ability to communicate so much without saying a word. The way she moves, the way she uses her face, it’s like she’s telling a whole story in between the lines. Not every performer can pull that off. And look, coming from Albuquerque instead of LA or New York? That’s kinda cool in itself—like, she’s not following the blueprint; she’s making her own. Juliet’s got serious range, whether she’s pirouetting through a high-stakes dance audition or diving into a role that’s all about feeling lost in a new world. There’s just something magnetic about her, a mix of discipline and heart, and you can feel it every time she steps into the frame.
