Another budding star in Hollywood is catching the attention of social media.&nbsp;

Mikey Madison has a hot topic of conversation within the past few weeks, and for good reason. The 25-year-old actress is next in line to be Hollywood's It girl thanks to her newest film Anora. Critics and film fanatics alike are buzzing over the young actress's performance and newfound potential in the industry.&nbsp; But who is Mikey Madison, and how did she get here? &nbsp;

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Mikey Madison first stepped into the spotlight with her breakout role as Max Fox in the acclaimed FX comedy-drama Better Things. From 2016 to 2022, she played the emotionally complex eldest daughter of Sam Fox (Pamela Adlon), delivering a performance that was as raw as it was relatable. Madison&rsquo;s portrayal of Max&mdash;sullen and rebellious&mdash;quickly made her a fan favorite, earning her praise for bringing an authentic portrayal of teenage angst to the small screen. &nbsp;
While Madison&rsquo;s role in Better Things got her career up and running, she didn&rsquo;t stop there. In 2019, she played a part in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, where she took on the unsettling character of a Manson family member. She also starred alongside L'OFFICIEL cover star <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/natalie-portman-lady-in-the-lake-interview-dior" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Natalie Portman</a> in the 2024 miniseries <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/lady-in-the-lake-natalie-portman-apple-tv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lady in the Lake</a>. These roles showcased her ability to dive into intense, unsettling emotions&mdash;a talent she has now brought to the forefront in Anora. &nbsp;

In Anora, Madison plays a sex worker from Brooklyn and finds herself living a modern-day Cinderella story after marrying the son of a powerful oligarch. But her fairy tale takes a dark turn when his parents arrive from Russia, determined to annul the marriage and reclaim their son.&nbsp; The film explores self-discovery and resilience, demanding a delicate balance between vulnerability and strength. 
The film has already garnered buzz during festival circuits, with Madison&rsquo;s name frequently coming up in conversations about award-season contenders. Her ability to anchor the film emotionally and captivate audiences has cemented her reputation as an actress with range, capable of carrying challenging narratives on her shoulders.
