Her credits include the roles of Krista in The Edge of Seventeen, Claire Benoit in Split, Maci in Support the Girls and Stella Grant in Five Feet Apart.

Early life

Haley Lu Richardson was born on March 7, 1995, in Phoenix, Arizona,[1] the daughter of Valerie, a marketing and branding professional, and Forrest L. Richardson, a golf course architect. Richardson attended Monterrey Chasilfa through Middle School, and later attended Arcadia High School. She was a regular in theatrical productions and regional dance competitions throughout the Southwest. From 2001 through 2011, she was a leading dancer in the Cannedy Dance Company[2] based in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2011, she relocated to Hollywood, California.[citation needed]

Career

In 2013, she began a recurring role as Tess in the ABC Family series Ravenswood. She has 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. In 2016, she had a recurring role as Ellie in the Freeform drama series Recovery Road. Her early film career included a leading role in The Last Survivors as well as a supporting performance in The Edge of Seventeen in 2016, and later starred in the psychological horror Split.

Her breakthrough came in 2017 when she starred as the lead Casey 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, critic Richard Brody wrote praise of 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."[3] In 2019, Richardson starred in the romantic drama Five Feet Apart, as the female lead opposite Cole Sprouse. In the film, released on March 15, she plays a cystic fibrosis patient, Stella Grant, who falls in love with a boy (played by Sprouse) with the same disease.

Richardson founded Hooked by Haley Lu in 2009,[4] a line of crocheted clothing and accessories that she designs and creates.[5][6][7]

Personal life

In April 2018, Richardson revealed that she proposed to Canadian actor Brett Dier,[8] whom she had been dating since at least 2012.[9] .
