Sadie Sink, born in Brenham, Texas, just kind of exploded onto the scene in a way that feels like she was destined for it. She got her start in Houston, hitting the community theater circuit when she was just nine—yeah, nine. Not a lot of kids are out there crushing Annie on stage at that age, but she was. By 2012, she’d landed the title role in the Broadway revival of Annie, which is pretty wild when you think about how competitive Broadway is. She even doubled up as Duffy during the same run. Multitasking, much? While she was lighting up the stage, she snagged a part in The Americans, that Emmy-winning spy series that everyone was raving about at the time. Then, she hopped over to TV drama in Odyssey, playing Suzanne Ballard, and popped into Blue Bloods and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt for some guest spots—honestly, she was everywhere for a bit. If that wasn’t enough, she played a young Queen Elizabeth II on Broadway, side by side with Helen Mirren, which is just iconic. But, let’s be real, most folks know her as Max from Stranger Things. She joined the Netflix hit in 2016 and instantly became a fan favorite—skateboard, sarcasm, and all. Sadie also didn’t shy away from horror, taking on the role of Ziggy Berman in Fear Street: Part Two - 1978 and its follow-up, Fear Street: Part Three - 1666. She’s got some film credits too, like The Bleeder, The Glass Castle, and Eli, and was a narrator for the animal rights doc Dominion. In 2021, she took on the emotionally loaded lead in All Too Well, a short film that got people talking for all the right reasons.
She kicked things off super early—like, not even a teenager—and already landing a spot on Broadway. Eleven years old, up on stage in Annie, which is not exactly a walk in the park. That’s some serious hustle. From day one, she was basically living her dream, belting out songs and soaking up stage lights while most kids were still figuring out their times tables. The whole theater scene really set the tone for what was coming next. That Broadway grind teaches you discipline, you know? Long rehearsals, nerves, the chaos backstage. It’s a wild way to grow up, but honestly, it’s kind of the ultimate training ground. You see it later in her career—there’s this confidence and spark, like she’s totally at home in the spotlight. Not everyone survives that pressure cooker, but she did, and it showed. Starting out in theater, especially in something as iconic as Annie, just gives you this edge.
