Haley Bennett

Although her breakthrough with the role of Emma Cullen in The Magnificent Seven was the switch for fans to decide to remember her name, the truth is that Haley had already been making movies for ten years, and with roles in not entirely unknown films. None of her, however, had counted on her as strongly as the one directed by Antoine Fuqua . Haley was in that remake a woman of arms to take, full of fury, yes, but who fought for justice. And she also had an unmitigated beauty. The other film that has placed the actress at the top of the film scene has been the much-vaunted The Girl on the Train, adaptation of the literary best-seller. But, unlike the previous film, here the female faces were multiple and their impact on the whole is less.

Haley Loraine Keeling was born on January 7, 1988 in Fort Myers, Florida. The daughter of Ronald Keeling and Dorset Bennett, she seems to have ancestors from England, Germany, Scotland, Ireland and Lithuania. The family lived during her childhood in a small town in Ohio and it was at school, at the age of ten, when little Haley began acting in small school plays. When the family moved to Los Angeles in 2006, where the future actress and singer (in addition to acting, the girl writes songs and poems) entered high school, the KSA agency quickly got her a casting call for the movie You the lyrics and I the music . Haley got a role in that film, quite important for a debut, in the company of Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant .. The first-time actress was then 19 years old.

In 2008 Haley Bennett participated in one of the best films of her hitherto small filmography. It is about A couple of three , more than a nice romantic comedy, with many interesting elements, starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston . Later came projects with much less impact, where the actress filmed in all kinds of genres, such as horror ( Fears 3D ), weird comedy ( Kaboom ) or drama ( Arcadia Lost ). In any case, it is verified that he is into criminal films, intriguing thrillers close to terror or with disturbing elements. Such have been projects such as Deep Powder (2013),After the Fall (2014) or the sinister Kristy (2014), together with Ashley Greene. And that the actress is not shy about talking about a certain genre: “I am very angry with horror movies for ruining my childhood.”

Little by little, his talent was becoming noticeable and he already appeared in the highest grossing films, such as The Protector (2014), accompanying Denzel Washington , or already in 2016 in A Kind of Murder , a crime drama set in the 60s and with a cast which includes Patrick Wilson and Jessica Biel . Then came the blockbusters where she has shone the most, The Magnificent Seven and The Girl on the Train , and the name of Haley Bennett has begun to occupy the first place in the credits.

He has just shot Song to Song with Terrence Malick himself , a musical drama where he is accompanied by Christian Bale . And he’s premiering Thank You for Your Service , a war trauma drama based on a novel by Jason Finkel.
