Maya Hawke has worn a lot of hats as Robin Buckley, Stranger Things’ resident DJ, movie rental connoisseur, and Scoops Ahoy employee extraordinaire. But while the eldest child of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman had her big break as the charmingly sarcastic Robin in Matt and Ross Duffer’s nostalgia-packed sci-fi series, her first role was as another well-loved hero: Jo March in the BBC’s 2017 adaptation of Little Women (more on that below). 

Just two years later, Hawke joined Stranger Things and appeared in two films, director Marc Meyers’s Human Capital and writer-director Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, cementing her status as a rising Hollywood star. Since then, she’s had parts in movies like Do Revenge (more below), Asteroid City, and The Kill Room. She’s dabbled in voice work, too, playing the supervillain Abyss in the Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur series and the perpetually stressed-out Anxiety in Inside Out 2. Hawke is also a recording artist and has released three studio albums: Blush, Moss, and Chaos Angel.

Stranger Things

Hawke’s Robin Buckley doesn’t burst onto the scene until Season 3 of the Duffer Brothers’ nostalgic, ’80s-set series, but her platonic (with a capital P) bromance with Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) is the stuff of legend. This sci-fi throwback follows a group of kids — Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) — who are searching in the woods for their missing friend, Will (Noah Schnapp), when they stumble across a girl, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), with psychokinetic abilities. The group’s friendship powers them through five seasons of monster fights and potentially world-ending threats as they unravel the mystery at the heart of their small town, Hawkins, Indiana. Winona Ryder (Bram Stoker’s Dracula), David Harbour (We Have a Ghost), Natalia Dyer (All Fun and Games), Charlie Heaton (Soulmates), and Jamie Campbell Bower (The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones) also star.
