Beanie Feldstein s Key to Success Acting Is a Team Sport

Beanie Feldstein, a theater kid through and through, now finds herself a veritable film and TV star. While the approach to stage and screen might differ, her philosophy is always the same: her most inspired work stems from bonding with collaborators who cant help but become family. Every opportunity is going to fill you up in certain ways and deplete you in certain ways, she says. I always just feel like I can go my deepest and do my best if I know the people around me. Born in Los Angeles in a family of Hollywood professionals (including brother Jonah Hill), Elizabeth Greer Beanie grew up performing community theater and studying at the Stagedoor Manor theater camp before attending Wesleyan University. Her breakout roles in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising and the SAGnominated Lady Bird led to an awardwinning turn opposite Kaitlyn Dever in Olivia Wildes Booksmart, as well as How to Build a Girl and guest appearances on The Simpsons, Greys Anatomy, and What We Do in the Shadows
