The most talented actresses under 30

Ronan is such a talented actress that we’ve all learned how to pronounce AND spell her first name. She was still a teenager when she got her first Oscar nomination, in “Atonement,” and her career has only gotten better from there. After starring in “Lady Bird,” her next big role is in Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of “Little Women.”

Moretz first was seen by many people in “Kick-Ass” as Hit-Girl which, uh, has some problematic elements to it. We won’t blame Moretz for that, though. Not everybody was into the remake of “Carrie” she starred in, but she was delightful in her recurring role in “30 Rock” as Jack Donaghy’s teenage nemesis.

Clemons is likely on her way to becoming a much bigger star. So far, she’s had some smaller roles, including a nice turn in “Angie Tribeca.” She also starred in the small film “Heart Beats Loud,” which showed off her tremendous singing chops.

Can you believe Dakota Fanning is 25 now? Don’t you feel old? Dakota has been a known name for over a decade at this point, and while she’s maybe not a star at this point, she has grown into being a fine character actor. Her turn in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood…” was jarring, but it showed the kind of actor she can be as an adult.

It’s double the Fannings! You can’t mention Dakota and not mention her younger sister, Elle. She’s only 21, and her career is starting to take off. Elle has had some lead roles recently in films such as “I Think We’re Alone Now” and “Mary Shelley,” where she played the writer of “Frankenstein.”

There was reason for skepticism about “Stranger Things.” After all, could these child actors really shoulder the load? It turns out they could, and a couple of them are already turning into stars. That includes Brown, who has the tougher role of them all as Eleven, the girl with supernatural powers making her way in the world for the first time.

Yes, Robbie is still under 30. She came seemingly out of nowhere to make a splash in “The Wolf of Wall Street” and has kept working with big directors since. Like Dakota Fanning, Robbie played somebody famous, or infamous, in “Once Upon a Time In Hollywood…” in her case playing Sharon Tate. Some complained about her role, but it’s a beautiful portrayal aching with emotion.

Lawrence has been a star for so long it’s hard to believe she’s only 29. To be fair, she won her first Oscar at 22, the second-youngest woman to ever win Best Actress. Whether it’s big-money blockbusters or awards bait, Lawrence works in any and all capacities. She’s maybe the best actress of her generation, and she’s just getting started.

It will be fascinating to see what Turner does now that “Game of Thrones” is over. For years, since she was still a kid, she’s been playing Sansa Stark. With the HBO hit having ended, it’s time to see what Turner will do from here. She’s only 23, so there’s plenty of time to figure it out.

You can see the family resemblance when you see Emma and find out that her aunt is Julia Roberts. Emma may not be America’s sweetheart, but maybe someday. If nothing else, Ryan Murphy seems to love her. She’s starred in six different shows he’s created — also, that terrible pizza movie “Little Italy,” but everybody makes mistakes.

Steinfeld made her feature-length debut in the Coen Brothers’ “True Grit,” and she immediately showed the kind of talent she has. Though Steinfeld has a music career as well, she’s kept acting. That’s great, because she has a clear knack for it. If you haven’t seen “The Edge of Seventeen” you should do that immediately.

Feldstein is already starting to become a star. She had a nice supporting role in “Lady Bird” and then starred in “Booksmart” alongside a woman who will appear later in this piece. However, she may be about to become an even bigger name. Feldstein is playing Monica Lewinsky in the upcoming new season of “American Crime Story.”

Watson has been famous forever, so we don’t really need to tell you who she is. Well, unless you never saw a “Harry Potter” movie. In that case, you might not know that she played Hermoine, making her a massive movie star as a teenager. She’s still acting, and still having success. For example, she starred as Belle in that live-action “Beauty and the Beast” movie.

We all know Zendaya is Meechee. She’s a lot more than that, though. The former Disney star is now in the “Spider-Man” movies as MJ and stars in the very mature HBO series “Euphoria.” The 23-year-old also has a role in the upcoming “Dune” film.
