Early life and education

Alexandra Anna Daddario was born in New York City on March 16, 1986,[2][3] the eldest child of Christina, a lawyer, and Richard Daddario, a prosecutor and former head of the New York City Police Department counterterrorism unit.[4] She is of Italian, Irish, English, and Slovak descent.[5] She has a younger brother, Matthew Daddario,[6][7] and a younger sister, Catharine Daddario, who are both actors as well.[8] Her paternal grandfather was Emilio Q. Daddario, a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives for Connecticut from 1959 to 1971.[9]

Daddario was raised on Manhattan's Upper East Side. She attended Brearley School and the Professional Children's School.[10] Daddario said she decided to be an actress at the age of 11.[11] "I always loved storytelling," she stated in 2019. "It was just something I genuinely wanted to do – and I could've done anything, really. I did have every opportunity on the planet."[12] She attended Marymount Manhattan College before dropping out to pursue acting full-time.[13] She has studied the Meisner acting technique for years.[14]

Acting career

Daddario made her television debut at the age of 16, when she played victimized teen Laurie Lewis in the ABC daytime soap opera All My Children. Her first major role was as Annabeth Chase in the fantasy adventure film Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010).[15] She also had a recurring role as Neal Caffrey's love interest, Kate Moreau, in the USA Network procedural drama series White Collar. In 2011, she appeared in the comedy film Hall Pass and had a recurring role as Rachel in NBC's comedy-drama series Parenthood.[16]

In 2012, Daddario starred in the music video for Imagine Dragons' song "Radioactive",[17] which surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube.[18] She appeared as a guest in an episode of the FX sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, in which she portrayed Ruby Taft. Her first starring role after Percy Jackson was as lead character Heather Miller in the slasher film Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013). In August 2013, Daddario reprised her role as Annabeth Chase in the film sequel Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. She then appeared in the romantic horror comedy Burying the Ex. Burying the Ex premiered out of competition as the Venice Film Festival in 2014.[19]
