Hailee Steinfeld was born on December 11, 1996, in Twin Oaks, California. She’s got a dad who’s a fitness trainer, a mom who’s an interior designer and an older brother named Griffin. Hailee started acting when she was only 8 years old, after she saw a close family friend in a school play.
Her parents got her an agent and she started taking acting lessons. Her first roles were in TV commercials for companies like Kmart. Soon, Hailee started landing bigger and bigger roles on TV shows and movies, including a TV movie called Summer Camp Pilot for Nickelodeon and some sit-coms.
Hailee Steinfeld was only 13 when she played obstinate 19th-century teen Mattie Ross in the western True Grit. It was her first major role, and it won her an nomination as best supporting actress in that year's Oscars and Screen Actors Guild awards. Hailee Steinfeld was born in California, and "at eight years of age, Hailee revealed to her family that she had a strong desire to pursue acting," says her bio on the True Grit website. She had bit parts in the TV series Back To You (2007, with Kelsey Grammer) and Sons of Tucson (2010), and also appeared in a national Kmart TV ad, before beating out a reported 15,000 other auditioners for the role in True Grit. In long brown pigtails and a gray felt hat, Steinfeld played an Arkansas teen who sets out to avenge the death of her father, and was praised by critics for holding her own with her veteran Oscar-winning co-stars Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon.
