Mikey Madison is quickly establishing herself as one of the most sought-after young actresses of her generation, working in both film and television. She began her acting career by appearing in several short films. In 2018, she made an impression in the role of Sadie, one of Charles Manson’s murderous disciples, in Quentin Tarantino’s ONCE UPON A TIME… IN HOLLYWOOD, alongside Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie. In 2022, she starred in the fifth opus of the SCREAM franchise. On television, she played the recurring role of Max Fox, from 2016 to 2022, in the series BETTER THINGS. Her fascinating acting brought density and nuance to the series and earned her critical praise. She also starred opposite Natalie Portman in the series LADY IN THE LAKE, currently broadcast on Apple TV+.
Her talent came to light in Sean Baker’s ANORA, winner of the Palme d’Or at the last Cannes Film Festival, in which she played the title role of Ani; that of a young woman stuck in her dreams of Cinderella and irreducible freedom.
Recognizing an emerging actress, the Deauville American Film Festival is pleased to welcome Mikey Madison to give her a Hollywood Raising-Star Award.
