What Sadie Sink Was Doing Before Stranger Things

Publish date: 2024-06-10

With her trademark red hair and spunky attitude, it's a no-brainer that Sadie Sink made the perfect Annie. At the tender age of 11, per Teen Vogue, the young star belted out timeless classics such as "It's the Hard Knock Life" and "Tomorrow." The thespian was thrilled when she landed the role of the ginger-haired orphan and told Flaunt, "It was my first Broadway show. It was like a dream come true. At the time it was all I really wanted." She also met her "Stranger Things" co-star Caleb McLaughlin, who plays Lucas Sinclair, when she was just 10 years old thanks to her Broadway career. Sinclair told Variety, "We used to see each other in Times Square at this park that all these Broadway kids used to go to."

Sink, who was born in 2002, has already learned so much about working in the entertainment industry. She feels that she is a latecomer to the Hollywood scene and sees herself as a "theater kid." She told Coveteur about her experience since starring in a popular Netflix series. "Coming from theater, it's such a smaller world with fewer bells and whistles. I never really got the chance to process what was happening. I didn't really think that this [kind of fame] was going to come with everything." Yet, at one point, the star thought that her career was over even before it really began.
