Early life

Silvers was born in Los Angeles on November 3, 1997.[1] Her mother is Swiss and her father is of Romanian Jewish descent.[2] She has four older siblings and one younger sibling.[3] She began attending theatre camps at age 12 after watching the film What's Eating Gilbert Grape and decided to pursue a career in acting. By 2014, she was attending the Palisades Charter High School, where she played tennis.[4] She attended New York University to study acting, but changed her major to history with a minor in film and later dropped out during her junior year.[5] [6]

Career

Silvers started modeling in her teens. She was scouted by IMG Models in 2015 in her senior year of high school, and continued modeling through her time at NYU to pay for her studies.[5] [7] In 2019, she closed Stella McCartney's Autumn show.[8]

Silvers made her acting debut in a 2018 episode of the Hulu thriller series Into the Dark and proceeded to appear in M. Night Shyamalan's film Glass (2019).[9] She auditioned for the horror film Ma (2019) while in college, and got the role despite believing she had botched her audition. In Ma, she portrays Maggie, whose friends befriend the main character who soon begins terrorizing them. Silvers got the script for Booksmart (2019) while filming Ma and was initially asked to audition for the main character's crush, but auditioned for the character of Hope instead.[6] In October 2018, it was reported that Silvers had been cast in the action movie Eve, later re-titled Ava.[10] In September 2019, it was announced that Silvers was cast as Erin Naird in the Netflix comedy series Space Force (2020–2022).[11] She also starred in Sarah Adina Smith's 2021 film Birds of Paradise for Amazon.[12]
