Sadie Sink Found Her Voice Thanks to ‘Stranger Things’ and Taylor Swift — Now She’s Ready to Conquer Her Greatest Fear
Sadie Sink discusses Max's fate on 'Stranger Things' Season 5, making Taylor Swift's "All Too Well," and why "The Whale" changed her life as an actor.
It’s a stunning, heartbreaking character arc that captivated audiences worldwide, so much so that Kate Bush’s ’80s hit “Running Up That Hill,” which Max plays on repeat before she’s felled, became the song of the summer of 2022. That transition began in earnest for Sink when she joined the cast of “The Whale,” the 2022 indie film that won Brendan Fraser an Oscar for his performance as a 600-pound gay man desperate to reconnect with his estranged daughter. In early 2023, she signed up to play the title role in Searchlight’s 2025 feature “O’Dessa,” an ambitious indie from writer-director Geremy Jasper (“Patti Cake$”) about a farm girl who leaves home for a postapocalyptic metropolis to find a family heirloom.
