Amandla Stenberg

Amandle Stenberg became world famous for her debut role: at the age of 14, the American actress was cast in the Hunger Games project. Her character Ruta, who died in Katniss's arms, made viewers cry in cinemas around the world.

The resounding success, which also included receiving awards, forced Stenberg to be selective in his filming proposals. So far, there are several films in her filmography, but in each of them Amandla played a major role.

Amandla was born in Los Angeles in 1998, and she celebrates her birthday on October 23rd. An unusual name for the girl was chosen by her mother: Karen Brailsford - African-American from South Africa. In the Zulu language, which is used on the territory of this country, the word "amandla" means "strength", "power".

The actress's father, businessman Tom Stenberg, is Danish by nationality, and his mother is from Greenland. At the time of his marriage to Karen, the man was already raising two daughters from a previous marriage, so Amandla has older half-sisters.

Talking to the press about her parents, Amandla emphasizes that her mother constantly supported her daughter's desire to realize her dreams. Dad taught Amandla to play the guitar. In elementary school, the girl also mastered the violin, and as a teenager became interested in playing the drums.

The debut of the aspiring actress took place in 2002 - from the age of 4 Amandla starred in commercials. But the girl got to the cinema later. The first film with her participation was the action Colombiana, produced by Luc Besson and released in summer 2011. The story revolves around Cataleya, a professional killer who wants to take revenge on the drug mafia for the death of her father. The main role was played by Zoe Saldana, and Amandla was involved in scenes from the childhood of Catalea, in whose eyes the bandits deal with her family.

During these years, the Panem trilogy, written by Susan Collins, is gaining popularity. The American actress also becomes a fan of the work. Later, Stenberg admits in an interview that even then she realized how close Ruta's character was to her, which she told her mother. A month later, the company that launched the Hunger Games adaptation project announced that Amandla Stenberg had joined the cast, led by Jennifer Lawrence. The soulful, sincere performance of the 13-year-old actress brings her several awards.

Further, the artist joins the cast of the first series in her career. Amandla appears in 4 episodes of the first season of Sleepy Hollow. Her character is the daughter of Captain Irving Macy.

After her debut on television, the girl decides to realize herself in the music field. In a duet with singer and songwriter Zander Hawley, Amandla plays violin and sings. Two years later, having chosen the name Honeywater for the band, the girls released their first and so far only album. The style of the tracks combines folk and rock. In the fall of 2015, Dazed magazine puts them on the cover, and Stenberg calls them "one of the most incendiary voices of a generation."

By this time, the film luggage of the American actress was replenished with only two, but rather large works. First, Amandla makes her cartoons voiceover debut. In 2014, Umnichka, the daughter of the main characters of the sequel to the animated film Rio, spoke in her voice. The parents of Clever Girl, the parrots of Blu and Pearl, were voiced by Jesse Eisenberg and Anne Hathaway.

In 2015, in parallel with the music, Stenberg starred in six episodes of the sitcom "Mr. Robinson", and is also casting for a role in the film about teenagers of the 90s "As Is. The premiere took place in 2016 at the Sundance Festival. The jury awarded the painting with a special prize.

Later, the actress got a new bright job - participation in the advertising campaign of the Stella McCartney brand. Together with Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon, she appeared in a perfume advertisement from a fashion house.

In 2017, a new tape was released with the participation of the actress - the melodrama "This whole world". And again Amandla has the main role. In the film based on the work of Nikola Yun, the artist plays an inquisitive, open-minded girl Maddy, who due to illness is doomed to stay in the rooms of her house. Ollie's neighbor is trying to help his friend.

The picture was filmed in Vancouver. The role of the kind-hearted Ollie went to Nick Robinson, an American actor who gained popularity thanks to the TV show Melissa and Joey and the films Kings of Summer and Jurassic World.

2017 was a real breakthrough year for Amandla. She starred in three Hollywood films, all of which are currently in post-production. All premieres are scheduled for 2018.

Amandla Stenberg does not hide her political or personal preferences. At the age of 17, she told the press about bisexuality. In 2016, in an interview with the journalist "Elle", the actress corrected the words about her orientation, noting that bisexuality does not include transgender people as an object of attraction, and concluded that she considers herself more likely to be pansexual.

In June 2018, the girl gave an interview to Wonderland, stating that she now defines herself as a lesbian.

In 2016, Amandla blew up the tabloids by going to a school ball in the company of the actor's son Will Smith. The catch was that both Stenberg and Jaden Smith chose dresses for their outfits. The scandalous photos were posted on Instagram by the actress herself.

Stenberg speaks as frankly as about his personal life on socio-political topics. She participates in the feminist movement and even received the title of "Feminist of the Year 2015" from one of the specialized public associations for this.

Amandla's height is 160 cm. The girl weighs 56 kg.

In 2018, viewers will see three films featuring the American star. In September, the fantastic thriller "Dark Reflections" will be released, in which Amandla played a teenager with superpowers who survived an unknown epidemic among children. Her heroine will have to find the rest of the survivors and escape from those who provoked the tragedy.

Later, the drama "The Hate You Generate", which is close in spirit to Amandla as a public activist, will appear in theaters. The plot is taken from American news: a young African American is killed by a white policeman. The tragedy is witnessed by the friend of the deceased boyfriend, schoolgirl Starr Carter, played by Stenberg. Now the girl has to testify. The film stars Anthony Mackie and Regina Hall, as well as the star of the TV series "Riverdale" KJ Up.

A military melodrama "Wherehandstouch" is planned for the finale of the year. Under what name the film will enter the Russian film market has not yet been determined. The film was produced by Great Britain, but later the rights were bought by an American company.
