Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman (born September 1, 1996),[2][3] professionally known by the mononym Zendaya, is an American actress and singer. She has received various accolades, including a Golden Globe Award and two Primetime Emmy Awards. Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world on its annual list in 2022.

Born and raised in Oakland, California, Zendaya began her career as a child model and backup dancer. She made her television debut as Rocky Blue on the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up (2010–2013) and starred as the titular character in the sitcom K.C. Undercover (2015–2018), for the channel. Her feature film debut came in 2017 with the superhero film Spider-Man: Homecoming, and she later starred in its sequels. Zendaya's role as Rue Bennett, a struggling drug addicted teenager, in the HBO teen drama series Euphoria (2019–present) made her the youngest recipient of two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Her film roles include the musical The Greatest Showman (2017), the romantic drama Malcolm & Marie (2021), and the science fiction epic Dune (2021).

In addition to her acting career, Zendaya has ventured into music. In 2011, she released the singles "Swag It Out" and "Watch Me", the latter a collaboration with Bella Thorne. She signed with Hollywood Records in 2012. Her eponymous debut studio album (2013) was released to moderate success. The album's lead single, "Replay", reached the top 40 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Zendaya's biggest commercial success as a musician came with her Zac Efron collaboration, "Rewrite the Stars", from The Greatest Showman soundtrack in 2017. The single reached within the top 20 of several record charts and has received multi-platinum sales certifications globally.

Early life

Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman[4] was born on September 1, 1996, in Oakland, California,[5] to teachers Claire Stoermer[5] and Kazembe Ajamu Coleman.[6] Her father is African-American, with roots in Arkansas; her mother has German and Scottish ancestry.[4][6] Zendaya, whose name derives from the Shona name Tendai (meaning "to give thanks"[7]), has five older siblings. She attended Fruitvale Elementary School, where her mother taught for two decades.[5] At age six, she and two friends from the school performed a play there for Black History Month.[8] She grew as a performer in part at the nearby California Shakespeare Theater in Orinda, California, where her mother worked a summer job as the house manager. She helped her seat patrons, sold fundraising tickets, and was inspired by the theatrical performances to pursue acting.[9][10] At eight, Zendaya joined a hip-hop dance troupe called Future Shock Oakland and was a member for three years. She also spent two years dancing hula with the Academy of Hawaiian Arts.[11][12][13]

Zendaya attended Oakland School for the Arts and, while still a student, was cast in several roles in area theaters. At the Berkeley Playhouse, she played Little Ti Moune in Once on This Island, and in the TheaterWorks' production in Palo Alto, she played a character originally written as male, Joe, in Caroline, or Change.[14][10] Reviewing the latter, Keith Kreitman of San Mateo Daily Journal called the 11-year-old Zendaya's performance "a pure delight".[15] She studied at the CalShakes Conservatory program and at the American Conservatory Theater.[16][17]

Her stage credits include performances in several of William Shakespeare's plays. She played Lady Anne in Richard III, Celia in As You Like It, and took part in a production of Twelfth Night.[18][19] When Zendaya was in seventh grade, the family moved to Los Angeles.[6] In 2015, while pursuing an acting career, she graduated from Oak Park High School.[20]

Career

2009–2015: Early career with Disney

Zendaya began her career working as a fashion model for Macy's, Mervyns, and Old Navy. She was featured in an iCarly toys ad.[21] She also appeared as a back-up dancer in a Sears commercial featuring Disney star Selena Gomez. In 2009, she was a featured performer in the Kidz Bop music video for its cover of the song "Hot n Cold" by Katy Perry, which was released on Kidz Bop 15.[21][22] In November 2009, she auditioned for the role of CeCe Jones in the Disney sitcom Shake It Up (titled Dance Dance Chicago at the time).[23] For her audition, she performed Michael Jackson's "Leave Me Alone".[24] She was selected to play Rocky Blue. Shake It Up premiered on November 7, 2010, and was watched by 6.2 million viewers, becoming Disney Channel's second highest-rated premiere in Disney Channel's 27-year history.[25]

Zendaya hosting the Make Your Mark: Ultimate Dance Off event in 2011

In 2011, Zendaya released "Swag It Out", a promotional independent single.[26] She also starred in the book trailer for "From Bad To Cursed" by Katie Alender.[27] In June of the same year, she released "Watch Me", performing with Bella Thorne. The song peaked at 86 on the Billboard Hot 100.[28] The second season of Shake It Up premiered on September 18, 2011. Zendaya hosted Make Your Mark: Ultimate Dance Off 2011 on Disney Channel. In 2011, Target stores began selling D-Signed, a line of clothing inspired by the clothes worn by Zendaya and other cast members of Shake It Up.[29][30]

Zendaya's first film role was in Frenemies (2012), a Disney Channel Original Movie.[21][24][31] On February 29, 2012, "Something to Dance For" was released as promotional single for Live 2 Dance. For the soundtrack, Zendaya also recorded three other songs: "Made In Japan", "Same Heart", and "Fashion Is My Kryptonite", released as promotional single. In June 2012, Shake It Up was renewed for a third and final season.[32] On September 2, 2012, she signed to Hollywood Records.[33] In October, she performed at the Teen Music Festival and at the Operation Smile benefit.[34] Zendaya was as one of the celebrities who would compete on season 16 of Dancing with the Stars.[35] At 16, she was the youngest contestant ever to participate on the show, before Willow Shields succeeded her at 14 on season 20. She was partnered up with professional dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy. In May, the couple finished as runners-up behind Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough.[36][37]

Zendaya's self-titled debut album was released on September 17, 2013. It was preceded by the single "Replay", released on July 16, 2013, written by Tiffany Fred and Paul "Phamous" Shelton. In August 2013, she was cast as 16-year-old Zoey Stevens, the lead character in the Disney Channel Original Movie Zapped, whose "smart phone begins to somehow control all the boys around her".[38] In November 2013, Zendaya was selected as Elvis Duran's Artist of the Month and was featured on NBC's Today, where she performed live her single "Replay".[39] That same month, she was cast as the lead in a Disney Channel pilot called Super Awesome Katy.[40] It was ordered to series by Disney Channel in May 2014, with the series now under the title K.C. Undercover, and with Zendaya's character now named K.C. Cooper rather than Katy Cooper.[41] Zendaya exerted influence over the renaming of her character and the retitling of the series, also deciding several key elements of the character's personality.[42] K.C. Undercover premiered on Disney Channel on January 18, 2015,[43] and was renewed for a second season in May 2015.[44]

In 2014, Zendaya was a guest judge on an episode of Project Runway: Under the Gunn. In the episode, the contestant designers were given the challenge of creating an outfit for Zendaya to wear in an upcoming concert performance.[45][46] In February 2015, after a joke made by Giuliana Rancic concerning Zendaya, in reference to her hair smelling of "patchouli oil" and "weed" at the 87th Academy Awards,[47] Zendaya promptly took to Instagram to address the remark and point out that many successful people have "locs," a hairstyle that has nothing to do with drugs. Mattel honored Zendaya with her own Barbie, replicating her Oscars look.[48] The doll belongs to Mattel's Barbie "Sheroes" project, which honors inspirational living women.[49][50][51][52] The following month, musician Timbaland confirmed that he was working with Zendaya on her second album, following her switching record labels from Disney to Republic.[53][54] "Something New", featuring Chris Brown was released on February 5 via Hollywood Records and Republic Records. The song also marks it as her first official release since signing to Republic Records.[55]

2016–present: Film breakthrough, Euphoria, and transition to adult roles

In December 2016, Zendaya appeared as a guest judge in the season finale of the 15th season of the reality television series Project Runway.[56] She made her feature film debut as Michelle in the superhero film Spider-Man: Homecoming, which was released in July 2017.[57] Zendaya wore no makeup to her screen test, a decision that was carried through in production, and "add[ed] her own embellishments to the role, such as carrying around a mug of herbal tea".[58] The film grossed $117 million in its first weekend, ranking number one at the box office.[59] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter praised her as a "scene stealer",[60] while David Ehrlich of IndieWire called her the film's "MVP", despite her brief screen time.[61] In August 2016, she appeared in the music video for the song "Versace on the Floor" by Bruno Mars.[62]

In December 2017, Zendaya co-starred in the original musical film The Greatest Showman. She portrayed a trapeze artist who falls in love with Zac Efron's character at a time when interracial romance was taboo. Owen Gleiberman of Variety praised her chemistry with Efron.[63] The Hollywood Reporter praised Zendaya for "[registering] strongest, bringing touching sensitivity to her handful of scenes".[64] She appeared on three tracks of the film's soundtrack, including "Rewrite the Stars".[65] The film met mixed reception but became the third-highest grossing live-action musical ever released.[66][67]

In September 2018, Warner Bros. released the animated film Smallfoot, in which Zendaya voiced the yeti Meechee.[68] She also sang two songs for the soundtrack. The film received positive reviews.[69] In June 2019, Zendaya began starring in the HBO drama series Euphoria, an adaptation of the Israeli series of the same name, as Rue, a 17-year-old drug addict and the narrator of the series.[70] Ben Travers of IndieWire wrote that she "adds heartbreaking levity to moments when her spiraling character feels invincible instead of fragile".[71] The Guardian's Rebecca Nicholson called her performance "astonishing" and "mesmerizing".[72][73] For her performance, she won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, becoming the youngest winner of the award.[74] She would also win Performer of the Week from TVLine for the week of February 6, 2022, for her performance in the second-season episode "Stand Still Like the Hummingbird".[75] Also in 2019, she reprised her role as MJ in Spider-Man: Far from Home.[76] Critic Christy Lemire called Zendaya's portrayal "darkly alluring" and praised her "humorous, deadpan charm".[77] The film was a commercial success, becoming the fourth highest-grossing release of the year.[78][79]

Zendaya at the premiere of Spider-Man: Far From Home in 2019

In 2021, Zendaya starred in Malcolm & Marie, which was filmed during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The production complied with extensive safety protocols and had a lean crew to minimize health risks. The film co-stars John David Washington, and was directed by Sam Levinson, who also created Euphoria.[80] Zendaya allocated shares to the film to everyone involved in its making, as a way of offering a financial bonus when the movie was sold.[81] Part of the proceeds was shared with Feeding America.[82] The film had a mixed reception but Zendaya's performance was positively reviewed.[83] Brian Truitt of USA Today described her as "luminous" and "absolute fire", Richard Brody called her performance “the movie’s only redeeming quality”, and Variety's Peter Debruge praised her for "wear[ing] Marie's fragility on the surface, only to reveal the character’s strength through reaction shots and silence".[84][85][86]

She next voiced the character of Lola Bunny in Space Jam: A New Legacy.[87] Growing up with the first film since childhood, Zendaya drew on her experiences with her family's love of basketball for the role.[88] Zendaya then played Chani in Denis Villeneuve's science fiction film Dune, the first part of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel of the same name.[89] Critic Glenn Kenny dubbed her portrayal "better than apt", while Brian Lowry of CNN noted that her role was limited to "gauzy images" in the protagonist's visions.[90][91] Zendaya reprised her role as MJ for the third time in Spider-Man: No Way Home. RogerEbert.com's Brian Tallerico praised Zendaya and Tom Holland's chemistry as well as her execution of MJ's "emotional final beats".[92]

Having already collaborated with Labrinth on the song "All for Us" for Euphoria's first season, in 2022 Zendaya co-wrote two songs ("I'm Tired" and "Elliot's Song") for the second season, also performing as a vocalist on the former. Receiving continued acclaim for her performance as Rue, the second season of Euphoria earned her four Emmy nominations. Nominated for Lead Actress in a Drama for the second time, she became the youngest two-time nominee in Emmy history, while her nomination as an executive producer for Outstanding Drama Series made her the youngest woman ever nominated for producing. She also received two nominations for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for her lyrical contributions to the show's soundtrack.[93] Zendaya won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama at the 80th Golden Globe Awards.[94]

Zendaya will next star in and produce Challengers, a sports drama directed by Luca Guadagnino.[95][96] She will also reprise her role as Chani in the sequel Dune: Part Two.[97][98]
