Amandla Stenberg Biography

Amandla Stenberg was born in 1998, on the rainy autumn day. Amandla Stenberg birthday is on the 23rd of October. The girl was very attractive and charismatic from the very childhood. Amandla Stenberg ethnicity is hard to define. The girl looks like Afro-American (just like her mother, Karen Bailsford), but her father (Tom Stenberg) is Danish. By the way, Amandla defines her nationality as American, as she was born and raised in Los Angeles.

Her name is translated from Zulu as “power”. Amandla’s parents called their girl in that way to make her stronger. By the way, actress’s name is very often mispronounced in mass media, but the girl just smiles, when she hears it.

The beauty of a small girl was so obvious, that Amandla Stenberg parents took her for casting, when the child was just 4. Thus the girl was chosen for Disney commercial. Later she took part in commercials for famous trade marks like Walmart (where she co-acted with DJ Tony), McDonald’s (where she co-acted with McDonald) and many others.

The girl looked so natural on the screen in spite of Amandla Stenberg age – she was a schoolmate then. She decided to try her hand in acting – and it was a good idea, as she got popular just from the first TV shows. Amandla Stenberg movies list is so short now! In 2010 she took part in “Colombiana”, where she was the young version of the hero of Zoe Saldana. The debut of the young actress was so successful, that she was called “a new born star” in press.

In 2012 Amandla got the breaking role of Rue (The Hunger Games). The story is based on the book of Suzanne Collins with the same name. Her heroine is 12 years old (just like Amandla is) and her acting was praised high by critics and fans.  At the same time the actress was criticized in Tweeter, when people left their comments that “the actress doesn’t look like Rue and she has spoiled the film”. Their opinion based on the fact, that Rue (according to her description in the book) was white-skinned, but Amandla is black-skinned.

The actress is just 17, that’s why such comments are especially painful for her. But she answered to all these negative reviews with one post, where she thanked to her fans and told that she was proud to become the part of “The Hunger Games” team. Amandla Stenberg family supports the girl and helps her to cope with such critical reviews.

Her friends tried to protect the actress in Tweeter, noting, that she “suits the description of Rue much more than Jennifer Lawrence suits the description of Katniss”. In any case, Amandla Stenberg managed to earn $1 million of cash just being in her teens. She has also won The Teen Choice Award for her role in “The Hunger Games”.
