Maya was born in New York City on 8th July, 1998 - making her 20 years old.
She is the daughter of Kill Bill star Uma Thurman and Dead Poets Society actor, Ethan Hawke.
Her parents, who met on the set of the 1997 film Gattaca, divorced in 2005.
It was announced in 2018 that Maya would be appearing in Stranger Things season 3, along with Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Sadie Sink, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo and more.
Following in the footsteps of her parents, Maya made her acting debut in 2017, when she starred in the three-part televised version of Little Women.
Playing the lead role of Jo March in the mini-series, Maya stunned viewers with her fresh take on the classic role.
Maya has also appeared in Ladyworld and has parts in upcoming films, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Human Capital and As They Slept.
One's thing for sure - with Hollywood royalty as her parents and her incredible talent, she's bound to be a huge star.
