Fame found actress Madelyn Cline almost overnight.
It was something she, herself, never even anticipated.
“It all happened so quickly,” she admitted toSchon!
“It was so surreal.”
“I am from Charleston, so our shooting locations already felt like home,” Cline explained.
The two even have a pretty similar life story.
“[I] wanted to do something completely out of left field with my life.
I think Sarah is the same way,” she said.
Ever since she stepped onto our screens, she’s certainly done exactly that.
This is the stunning transformation ofMadelyn Cline.
Being a teenager was tough for Madelyn Cline
The modeling industry is a tough business.
Yet, it may be even harder for someone who’s only a kid.
Growing up in front of a camera definitely wasn’t an easy experience for Madelyn Cline.
As her body was growing and changing, the young actress had trouble accepting herself for how she looked.
In the end, it was her mother who helped completely change her mindset regarding her body image.
She began teaching her daughter to focus on the features that she loved the most about herself.
“After that repetition those things became solidified in my mind,” Cline said.

After all, Cline and her parents had been saving up for college for years.
Yet, life seemed to slowly lead her in another direction.
As a college student, she started getting even more callbacks than before.
Eventually, “I had run out of excused absences at school,” she admitted toSchon!
However, her parents weren’t on board.
“I dropped out right before midterms,” she explained toVogue.
“And they were like, ‘What did we do wrong?’
It was everything they didn’t want.”
That week, the aspiring actress left college and moved herself to Los Angeles.
“I realized, ‘Holy [expletive].
There’s a thousand of me,” she admitted toVogue.
Cline started to wonder if her parents had actually been right all along.
However, an important call soon came her way that changed things completely for the young actress.
The R-rated drama taught Cline what it truly took to be an actress.
As the days went by, she learned a lot from the other leading men and women beside her.
“I was enamoured watching all of them work and embody characters,” she said.
Audiences everywhere were, too.
The film received49 award nominations, including twoGolden Globenominations.
Being a part of this cast was the real deal for Cline.
At this point, it seemed safe to say that Cline had finally gotten her confidence back.
It was for a Netflix series called “Outer Banks.”
“The log line was basically, four friends on a treasure hunt,” Cline explained toVogue.
“And I was like ‘I don’t know, it’s a little corny.'”
It seemed as though it was meant to be.
The producers wanted her back in South Carolina.
At almost lightning speed, Cline had landed herself the role.
It would be her first recurring one, too.
“‘I feel like they’ve got the wrong gal.'”
They definitely did not, and today, no fan could ever imagine any other actress playing Sarah Cameron.
Yet, few fans know that it’s one she’s been very involved in behind-the-scenes, too.
After a discussion with the show’s creators, they agreed.
Cline quickly realized that she had a lot more power as an actress than she had first thought.
“Building on that and then projecting it on the screen felt very, very real.”
In fact, it felt so real that the pair’s relationship slowly moved off-screen, too.
At that point, however, “people were already speculating,” Cline toldEntertainment Tonight.
“People knew before we said anything.”
Many of them could only assume so because of their on-screen chemistry, after all.
Clearly, the two of them are prettystokedabout spending time together.
“We are best friends, and we are partners, and we are screen partners,” Clinesaid.
“So we’re there to support each other, and sometimes you give that person space.”
The series debuted during a worldwide pandemic, when everyone was home binging the next big thing on Netflix.
From that perspective, the show was exploding in popularity online.
When the series first hit the streaming service, the cast was all quarantined inside Cline’s apartment.
They decided to watch it together.
“We’re all going through the same thing,” Cline toldGrazia.
“I love films that really leave you thinking for a few days afterwards,” she toldEntertainment Tonight.
“Like you just can’t get it out of your head.”
It’s been very, very surreal," Cline toldElleof her experience.
Yet, it seems as though this stage of superstardom is still only the beginning for the young actress.
