Hailee Steinfeld

Hailee Steinfeld was born on December 11, 1996 in Tarzana, Los Angeles, California, USA. Of Filipino descent through her maternal grandfather, something shows in her dark features and her slightly slanted eyes, or so the one who believes subscribe. Although she attended primary and secondary school, lately she has signed up for home education, a formula with a long tradition in the United States.

His career before the Coens was practically nil, although he already started when he was eight years old, so he can say that he has been acting for almost half of his life. Until being in the movie that made him famous, he had made a few shorts, and appeared in the television series Sons of Tucson . As little is seen, nothing presaged the vertigo of being in a western movie, True Grit , directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen , and alongside actors of the stature of Jeff Bridges , Matt Damon and Josh Brolin. The filmmaking brothers called a casting call for the role of a young lady, because they wanted someone completely unknown. In accordance with current times, a video had to be uploaded in which the candidates made a brief fragment of the film’s script. Very well Steinfeld had to do it, to which the coveted role of Mattie Ross was awarded.

She plays a strong-willed, determined young lady, and she does it with incredible poise. It would not be surprising if she achieved the Oscar nomination, and if it does not happen it would be a tremendous injustice. At the moment, her colleagues from her Screen Actors Guild have distinguished her with a nomination.

No roles are in sight for Steinfeld at the moment, but she is already experiencing the vertigo of fame, as she and Justin Bieber presented the Golden Globe for Best Animated Film in January 2011.
