Kaylan Drake Burnette is an American actress and fashion model.
Burnette was born in Houston, Texas,[1] and studied art history at the University of Texas before moving to Los Angeles, California, hoping to intern as a production assistant. Instead she was cast as "Marfa Girl" in Larry Clark's feature film. In a New York Times review, A. O. Scott opined that although Burnette didn't "have much craft as an actress", she approached the role with a "sense of humor".[2] As a model, Burnette was (coincidentally) discovered in Marfa, Texas while on vacation in 2013.[3] She debuted at Celine's pre-fall 2013 fashion show, and has walked for designers like Marc Jacobs, Christopher Kane, Fendi, Marni, Missoni, Acne Studios, Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, Burberry, and Isabel Marant.[4] [5]
Burnette is pursuing a master's degree in filmmaking from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.[6]
