Beanie Feldstein, a theater kid through and through, now finds herself a veritable film and TV star. While the approach to stage and screen might differ, her philosophy is always the same: her most inspired work stems from bonding with collaborators who can\u2019t help but become family. \u201cEvery opportunity is going to fill you up in certain ways and deplete you in certain ways,\u201d she says. \u201cI always just feel like I can go my deepest and do my best if I know the people around me.\u201d\n\nBorn in Los Angeles in a family of Hollywood professionals (including brother Jonah Hill), Elizabeth Greer a.k.a. Beanie grew up performing community theater and studying at the Stagedoor Manor theater camp before attending Wesleyan University. Her breakout roles in \u201cNeighbors 2: Sorority Rising\u201d and the SAG-nominated \u201cLady Bird\u201d led to an award-winning turn opposite Kaitlyn Dever in Olivia Wilde\u2019s \u201cBooksmart,\u201d as well as \u201cHow to Build a Girl\u201d and guest appearances on \u201cThe Simpsons,\u201d \u201cGrey\u2019s Anatomy,\u201d and \u201cWhat We Do in the Shadows.\u201d This year she portrayed Monica Lewinsky and produced FX\u2019s \u201cImpeachment: American Crime Story,\u201d and starred in A24\u2019s adaptation of \u201cThe Humans\u201d from Stephen Karam. Up next, Beanie will feature in the years-long filming of Richard Linklater\u2019s \u201cMerrily We Roll Along\u201d and return to Broadway, after \u201cHello Dolly!\u201d, to play Fanny Brice in \u201cFunny Girl\u201d this spring.\n\nThis week in Backstage Magazine and online, check out the Emerging Talent Portfolio\u2014for a glimpse of the stars of tomorrow: https://bit.ly/3wV6Snk\n---\nBackstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.
