While some actors attempt to hide their family ties to the movie industry, Maya Hawke is never shy about admitting the role nepotism has had on her career, especially regarding her casting in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. Her role in the film was one of her first major acting gigs, playing ‘Flowerchild’, a member of the Manson Family cult, and has led to the actress receiving some major roles. As the daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, Maya Hawke has been placed under the label ‘nepo baby’, implying that her family’s influence in the industry led to her casting, something which she doesn’t in any way deny.
