Superstar Hailee Steinfeld had the biggest of big breaks at age 13, when she earned an Academy Award nomination for the Coen brothers\u2019 \u201cTrue Grit,\u201d opposite Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon. Her thriving career ever since, both as an actor and singer-songwriter, is the result of a childhood obsession with playing other people\u2014and, with her family\u2019s support, managing realistic expectations. \u201cEvery time I walk onto a set for the first day I feel like I know nothing,\u201d she reveals. \u201cAnd I hope that feeling never goes away.\u201d\n\nAn Oscar nominee for \u201cTrue Grit\u201d and a Golden Globe nominee for \u201cThe Edge of Seventeen,\u201d Hailee has taken on a wide variety of roles in the last decade, starring in \u201cEnder\u2019s Game,\u201d \u201cRomeo and Juliet,\u201d the \u201cPitch Perfect\u201d movies, \u201cSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,\u201d and \u201cBumblebee.\u201d Her newest challenge is executive producing Alena Smith\u2019s Peabody Award-winning comedy \u201cDickinson\u201d from AppleTV+, and leading the series as a particularly irreverent Emily Dickinson.
