Early Life
Hailee Steinfeld was born on December 11, 1996, in Los Angeles, California. Raised in the neighborhood of Tarzana alongside an older brother, Hailee was inspired to get into acting by her cousin, True O'Brien. True had landed a role in a television commercial at the age of eight, and Steinfeld decided to try it out for herself as a result.
Steinfeld grew up in a family with Jewish, Christian, Filipino, and African-American heritage. Although she initially attended schools in California, Hailee was homeschooled from 2008 to the year of her high school graduation in 2015.
Hailee's paternal uncle is fitness entrepreneur Jake Steinfeld.
Career
After starting her acting career at the age of 10, Steinfeld gained a foothold in the industry by appearing in short films. She gained particularly high levels of exposure after starring in the film "She's a Fox." During this period, Hailee also landed a number of guest-starring roles in various television series and appeared in a range of commercials. After three years of earning her stripes, Steinfeld joined the cast of "True Grit," playing the character of Mattie Ross at the age of 13.
Released in 2010 to widespread critical acclaim, "True Grit" put Hailee Steinfeld on the map. She was singled out for praise by critics, and she later earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. After narrowly missing out on an Oscar that was eventually won by Melissa Leo, Hailee was already moving on to new projects.
In 2011, the 14-year-old actress joined the cast of the 2013 film "Romeo and Juliet." She landed the role of Juliet, which proved to be somewhat controversial – as the script initially called for nudity and sex scenes involving the young actress. However, the script was quickly changed after Steinfeld was cast. Unfortunately, critics were not kind to the resulting production.
Steinfeld's other film of 2013 was equally unsuccessful. "Ender's Game" received lackluster reviews and proved to be a box office bomb. Over the next few years, Hailee appeared in less mainstream films such as "Begin Again." She also joined the cast of the film "Why We Broke Up," but the film has yet to go into production. "Ten Thousand Saints" was another notable film during this period, and it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2015. Also in 2015, Steinfeld starred in the film "Carrie Pilby."
