Maya Hawke is an American actress, model, and singer-songwriter who is well-known for her role as Robin in the 3rd season of Netflix’s mega-popular series Stranger Things. Before fame, she made her first on-screen appearance as Jo March on BBC’s adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s semi-autobiographical novel Little Women which was released in 2017. She originally comes from a family of renowned actors so it didn’t take long until she developed her own interest in acting. Aside from being an actress, she also does modeling and made her debut as a professional when she modeled for Vogue magazine. Shortly after she was introduced to the modeling industry, she was later chosen as the face of the famous British fashion retailer AllSaints for its 2016/2017 collection.
