Louisa Jacobson

Louisa Jacobson, born smack in the middle of June 1991, right in Los Angeles—yeah, classic Hollywood roots. She’s got that star-in-the-making thing in her DNA, not surprising considering her family tree (seriously, her mom is Meryl Streep; talk about intimidating Thanksgiving dinners). Anyway, Louisa’s not just living in her mom’s shadow. She made a splash in The Gilded Age, that HBO series where everyone’s swanning around in corsets and drama is always just lurking around some velvet curtain. If you haven’t seen it, she plays Marian Brook, who’s kind of this fish-out-of-water type, dropped into a world that’s all old money vs. new money and a whole lot of pettiness dressed up in lace. But that’s not where her resume stops. She’s set to show up in Materialists in 2025, which, let’s be real, people are already buzzing about (it’s got that “next big thing” energy). Before all that, she popped up in Gone Hollywood back in 2019—sort of a love letter to the wild ride that is the entertainment biz, with all its glitz and backstabbing. Louisa’s got this vibe: she’s not just coasting on a famous last name. She digs into her roles, brings a bit of sharpness, some real edge. Whether she’s doing period drama or something a bit more modern, you can tell she’s in it for the work, not just the red carpets. Keep an eye out, because she’s just getting started, and honestly, it’s kind of fun watching her carve out her own corner in Hollywood.
