Maya Ray Thurman Hawke was born on July 8, 1998, in New York City, to actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. She navigated dyslexia during her primary education, frequently changing schools before enrolling at Saint Ann’s School in Brooklyn, which fostered artistic creativity without traditional grading. This environment, alongside summer studies at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London and the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York, guided her towards acting. She attended the Juilliard School for one year, ultimately leaving to pursue an acting role. Her early career also included modeling, following in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother, appearing in Vogue and becoming the face of AllSaints’ 2016/2017 collection.
Hawke made her acting debut in 2017 as Jo March in the BBC adaptation of “Little Women.” A significant turning point in her career came in 2019 when she joined the cast of the Netflix series “Stranger Things” as Robin Buckley for its third season, a role that brought her widespread recognition. The same year, she appeared in Quentin Tarantino’s film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and the thriller “Human Capital.” Her filmography further expanded with roles in “Fear Street Part One: 1994” (2021) and the dark comedy “Do Revenge” (2022). She has also taken on voice acting roles, notably as Anxiety in Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” (2024).
Beyond acting, Hawke has established a career as a singer-songwriter. She released her debut album, “Blush,” in 2020, followed by “Moss” in 2022, and “Chaos Angel” in 2024. Her musical work reflects influences from folk artists, combining storytelling with melodic compositions.

Her career showcases a consistent progression across multiple artistic disciplines.
