Rule 5 Saturday - Visit the Outer Banks with Madelyn Cline

We recently closed the dreaded summer "show hole" with Outer Banks, a 3 season series (soon to be 4) about a bunch of teenagers from various sides of track living on an island on the Outer Banks near Charleston. MadelynCline starred as Sarah Cameron, a rich girl (kook) from family with questionable ethics, who becomes involved with a poor boy from the wrong side of the island (pogues), whose father, a treasure hunter, is missing.

Cline was born on December 21, 1997, to estate agent Pam and engineer Mark and was raised in Goose Creek, South Carolina, near Charleston. She briefly was enrolled in college at Coastal Carolina University, but dropped out and moved to Los Angeles to further pursue acting. She was a part of a Chuck E. Cheese commercial when she was a child. 

So she was practically a local girl.

In 2020, Cline began starring as Sarah Cameron in the Netflix teen adventure drama Outer Banks. The series has received positive reviews from critics, with her role considered a breakout. Cline next starred in Rian Johnson's mystery comedy Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, released on Netflix on December 23, 2022 to critical acclaim.

As a model, Cline has appeared in ad campaigns for American Girl, Toys "R" Us, American Eagle, Stella McCartney, and Versace. In 2023, she became a brand ambassador for Tommy Hilfiger.

With the other Outer Banks girls

In June 2020, Cline announced she was in a relationship with her Outer Banks co-star Chase Stokes. In October 2021, the couple announced they had split.

Cline has stated that she struggled with an unspecified eating disorder and her body image as a teenager.

It ain't deep. Sometimes we find ourselves saying "You stupid kids," but I think we'll watch the next season when it comes around.
