Dylan Penn is an Amer­i­can mod­el and actress. She is the daugh­ter of renowned actors Sean Penn and Robin Wright. Although born in Los Ange­les, her par­ents decid­ed to move and raise her in Ross, a small town in North­ern Cal­i­for­nia. They want­ed Dylan to live a life away from the young Hol­ly­wood scene.
At age 23, she became one of the most sought after mod­els and mus­es for top design­ers and pho­tog­ra­phers across the world. She secured major cam­paigns for Erman­no Scervi­no, The Hip Tee in Madrid, Stu­art Wetiz­man, The Gap, and most recent­ly Michael Kors. In 2015, she flew to Paris at the request of Karl Lager­feld to sit front row at his cov­et­ed Paris Chanel cou­ture fash­ion show.
In regards to her act­ing career in Sep­tem­ber 2014, Penn received a lot of atten­tion for appear­ing along­side Pop­py Dele­vi­gne in Rock Roll Ride, a video instal­la­tion project (referred to as a short film by some) direct­ed by Julia Restoin Roit­feld for shoe design­er Stu­art Weitz­man dur­ing Paris Fash­ion Week. It was the first female-direct­ed ad cam­paign for the brand. That same year, she played the female lead along­side pop star Nick Jonas for his video for “Chains”.
In 2015, Dylan starred as Maya in Con­demned, direct­ed by Eli Mor­gan Ges­ner, where she must escape from a dead­ly virus. She also appeared in oppo­site Michael Shan­non in Elvis & Nixon direct­ed by Liza Johnson.
This year, the young actress appears in Flag Day, in which she plays the lead role under the direc­tion of her father, with whom she also acts. Adapt­ed from the Jen­nifer Vogel nov­el “Flim-Flam Man: A True Fam­i­ly His­to­ry”, the film, pre­sent­ed in Deauville, is a por­trait of a young woman strug­gling to heal from the wounds of her past while rebuild­ing her rela­tion­ship with her father.
