Mikey Madison

Mikaela Madison Rosberg (born March 25, 1999) is an American actress. She began her career acting in short films and received recognition for her role as a sullen teenager in the FX comedy series Better Things (2016–2022). Madison then played Manson family member Susan Atkins in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) and Amber Freeman in Scream (2022).

For her breakthrough role as the titular stripper in Sean Baker's film Anora (2024), Madison earned several accolades, including an Academy Award and a BAFTA Award. She is the first member of Generation Z to win an acting Oscar.

Mikaela Madison Rosberg was born on March 25, 1999, in Los Angeles, California, as the third daughter and fourth child of five children of Michael and Tracy Rosberg. Both of her parents are psychologists with her father specialized in schizophrenia and her mother specialized in children. She has two brothers, one of whom is her twin, and two older sisters.

Madison lived in Santa Clarita, a Los Angeles suburb, for the first few years of her life, before her family moved to the Woodland Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. She was raised in the San Fernando Valley. Madison initially trained as a competitive horseback rider before switching to acting at age 14. She was homeschooled after the seventh grade. Her grandmother's cousin was a Texas cowboy named Clarence Hailey Long Jr., who appeared on the cover of the August 1949 issue of Life magazine, which served as the main inspiration for the Marlboro Man. She grew up watching films by Woody Allen, Quentin Tarantino, Sofia Coppola, and Martin Scorsese.

Madison is Jewish, though she was raised in a non-practicing household.

Madison made her acting debut in 2013, appearing in the short films Retirement and Pani's Box. In 2014, after appearing in the short film Bound for Greatness, she filmed her first feature film, Liza, Liza, Skies Are Grey, which was not released until 2017.

In 2016, Madison began a starring role as Max Fox, a sullen teenager, in the FX comedy-drama series Better Things created by Louis C.K. and Pamela Adlon, which ran until 2022. From 2017 to 2018, she guest starred in the Bravo dark comedy series Imposters. In 2018, she appeared in the drama films Monster and Nostalgia.

Madison earned recognition for her role as the Manson Family member Susan "Sadie" Atkins in Quentin Tarantino's period drama film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which premiered at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival and was a commercial success. Also in 2019, she had a voice role as Candi, the Barista, in the animated black comedy film The Addams Family.
