Early life

[edit]

Haley Lu Richardson was born on March 7, 1995, in Phoenix, Arizona,[1][2][3] to Valerie, a marketing and branding professional, and Forrest L. Richardson, a golf course architect. Richardson attended Villa Montessori through middle school, then Arcadia High School.[citation needed] She was a regular in theatrical productions and regional dance competitions throughout the Southwest. From 2001 to 2011 she was a leading dancer in Phoenix's Cannedy Dance Company.[4] In 2011, she moved to Hollywood, California.[citation needed]

Career

In 2013, Richardson began a recurring role as Tess in the ABC Family series Ravenswood.[5] She appeared as a guest on Disney Channel's Shake It Up and was a co-star in ABC's pilot production "Adopted". She played Julina in the Lifetime original movie Escape from Polygamy alongside Jack Falahee.[6] In 2016, she had a recurring role as Ellie in the Freeform drama series Recovery Road.[7] Her early film career included a leading role in The Last Survivors as well as supporting performances in The Edge of Seventeen and Split.[6]

Her breakthrough came in 2017 when she starred opposite John Cho in Columbus. For her work in the film, she was nominated for the 2017 Gotham Independent Film Award for Best Actress. Reviewing Columbus in The New Yorker, Richard Brody praised her performance: "Richardson in particular vaults to the forefront of her generation’s actors with this performance, which virtually sings with emotional and intellectual acuity."[8]

In 2019, Richardson starred in the romantic drama Five Feet Apart opposite Cole Sprouse. In the film, she plays a cystic fibrosis patient who falls in love with a boy with the same disease.[9]

In 2022, she played Portia in the second season of the HBO comedy-drama anthology series The White Lotus.[10]
