McKenna Roberts
McKenna Rae Roberts, honestly, has had a wild ride for someone so young. She basically jumped straight into the spotlight—no kidding, her first modeling gig happened just from a snapshot. Not long after, she signed with Ford Models at just four years old. Yeah, four. From there, it was off to the races, working with brands like Nordstrom, Forever 21, H&M... all the heavy hitters.
Her TV debut? Nickelodeon’s Sam & Cat, right alongside Ariana Grande, which is not a shabby way to start out. That role kind of kicked open the doors because soon after, McKenna landed the part of Matilda Ashby in The Young and the Restless—daytime royalty, honestly. She hung around that Emmy-winning soap from 2013 to 2017, which is pretty impressive when you remember she was still basically a kid.
But she didn’t stop at soaps. She's popped up in other big-name shows—think Extant with Halle Berry (yep, Spielberg’s behind that one), CSI: Cyber with Patricia Arquette, and even Timeless on CBS. Always the recurring guest star, never the wallflower.
Most people these days probably recognize her from Euphoria on HBO, where she gets to play a younger Zendaya—no pressure, right? And then, there’s her movie debut, which she literally describes as the most exciting thing she’s done: starring as Georgia Sawyer in Skyscraper with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Neve Campbell. She even got to globe-trot for the press tour—Hong Kong, Beijing, New York. You’ll spot her all over the posters and trailers, so she’s definitely not just a background player. Off-set, she’s big on training, school, and hanging out with family and friends. Not too shabby.
