Kara Hayward

Kara Hayward, born on November 17, 1998, is a distinguished American actress who kicked off her career in an unprecedented way. Garnering prominence from her lead character as Suzy Bishop in the acclaimed 2012 feature film Moonrise Kingdom, she was subsequently nominated for the Young Artist Award for Best Leading Young Actress in a Feature Film in 2013. The movie marked her stride in the industry as it was her first audition for a feature film, notwithstanding her zero professional acting exposure prior to casting. Two years later, she displayed her acting prowess in another challenging role as Emily Parris, one of the lead roles in The Sisterhood of Night.

Born and raised in Andover, Massachusetts, she decided to move to Los Angeles in search of greener pastures soon after her high school graduation. This move paid off when she secured the role of Iris Deerborne in To the Stars. This dynamic actress started her acting career in 2012 and is still active in the industry. Another fascinating fact about her is her membership in Mensa from when she was just nine years old. USA Today featured Kara Hayward and her Moonrise Kingdom co-star Jared Gilman on May 22, 2012.
