Sadie Sink (born April 16, 2002) is an American actress, best known for her roles in American Odyssey as Suzanne Ballard and in Netflix’s Stranger Things as Max. She’s also appeared in episodes of Blue Bloods and The Americans. Sink has also appeared on Broadway, with credits including Annie and The Audience. Sink was born in Brenham in east-central Texas. Due to her obsession with recreating Disney’s High School Musical with her brother, Mitchell, when she was seven years old, her mother decided to send her off to acting classes in a community theatre, in nearby Houston. In turn, it led to a Broadway audition and a role in the 2012 revival of Annie. She had to prepare herself for the role by taking dance lessons and doing vocal training. She was initially the standby for all the orphans, until the original lead left, when she began alternating the title role for a few months, then closing the show as Duffy and understudy to Annie. She has three older brothers, Caleb, Spencer, and Mitchell, and a younger sister, Jacey. Her father is an American football coach and a math teacher.
While still starring in the play, she appeared in the Emmy-winning series The Americans. In 2015, she co-starred with Helen Mirren in The Audience on Broadway, as young Queen Elizabeth II. She also got a small role in Chuck. While filming the drama movie The Glass Castle, she became very close with Woody Harrelson, and particularly with his daughter, Makani. She was already a vegetarian, but Harrelson and his family inspired her to go vegan. In 2017 she starred in the Netflix original Stranger Things in the role of Maxine "Max" Mayfield.
