Known for being the daughter of acclaimed actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, Maya has steadily carved out her own path in the entertainment world. She first gained widespread recognition in 2019 when she took on the breakout role of Robin in season three of Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things. That same year, she also appeared in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, marking a strong presence in two major projects. Before rising to fame, Maya had already begun laying the foundation for her career—she enrolled at The Juilliard School in 2016 to study acting. Her professional debut came in 2017 with a memorable performance as Jo March in the BBC’s adaptation of Little Women.
As the older of Ethan and Uma’s two children born during their five-year marriage, Maya has often been in the public eye, though she’s worked hard to establish her identity beyond her famous lineage. She has a younger brother named Levon, and through her parents’ subsequent relationships and marriages, she’s gained three half-siblings, expanding her family circle. On a personal note, Maya was in a relationship with Gus Wenner for a period of time. With each new role and project, Maya continues to build a name for herself—not just as a legacy kid, but as a talented actress in her own right.
She’s not just known for her acting—she’s also made a name for herself as a model, with appearances in Vogue that have definitely turned heads. Her work with Vogue has really highlighted her versatility and strong presence in the fashion world. She continues to build on that momentum, proving time and again that she’s more than just a pretty face.
