Bio

Bailee Rose Madison symbolizes the young woman, who is very focused on her career. Many people worldwide know and love her as an actress, but that’s not her only profession. Recently 19-year-old tried her hand as a designer and launched her clothing line “Nowadays x Bailee Madison”. She published her first book, named “Losing Brave”, too.
Bailee started acting at the age of 2 when she was cast in her first commercial. At the age of 4, she had already won her first role in the movie “Lonely Hearts”, which she got due to her sister Kaitlin. The girl appeared in focus of international attention after depicting May Belle Aarons in the fantasy drama “Bridge to Terabithia”. After that her talent became obvious, and she got lots of new opportunities in acting.
The young actress has already presented a number of versatile female characters, starting from a young version of Hilary Swank heroine in “Conviction” and ending with Kinsey in “The Strangers: Prey at Night”.
Ms. Madison, surely, has plenty of work, but career is not her main priority. Bailee tells that her favorite time is that one, which she spends in her family – she likes to be with them on any location.
Interesting and fun facts

She was a brilliant pupil in the middle school, but she became homeschooled since she has been on the set on a regular basis. Education meant a lot for the starlet, so she studied with a tutor every single day during 2-3 hours.
It’s not an easy thing for the young actress to select the right movie roles, which suit her age and are useful for her career at the same time. The process of picking up a new part is long and complicated in Riley family. At first, Bailee reads the script herself, then she gives it to her sister Kaitlin, and finally, it appears in hands of her mother Patti. And Ms. Madison agrees to play, only if her relatives approve it.
When she was just a kid and made her first steps in the industry, Dakota Fanning was a role model for her. She was a big fan of her film “I Am Sam”.
The other females, which she likes and uses as a motivation for herself, are Charlize Theron (whom she knows personally), Christina Hendricks, Nicole Kidman, and Jackie Kennedy.
Although Bailee Rose is too young to have kids, she names her puppy Murphy as her “little son”. The dog even has an account on Instagram!
In spite of her young age, Madison has already been involved in a romantic relationship. Previously she dated a singer Emery Kelly. In September 2016 she started dating a French model and Instagram star Alex Lange. She thanked God for this guy, who cared about the actress wholeheartedly. He stayed with her when she had wisdom teeth surgery and supported the young beauty. But in early 2019 they decided to part their ways. The reason of such decision was not publicised.
Her hobby is cooking. She often watches Martha Stewart show and uses her advice in the kitchen.
