Odeya Rush, Pink Skies Ahead (2020)
“I’ve lived here for five years and I would describe the current L.A. landscape as ‘oat milk.’ I like how the city is a true melting pot of people and cultures. I don’t have any ‘dream roles’ but I’d love to do a film back in Israel.”

SCHON! MAGAZINE – Odeya Rush can do it all. The Israeli-American actress is perhaps best known for her breakout roles in acclaimed movies such as Goosebumps, Lady Bird, and Netflix’s Dumplin’ but, behind the scenes, Rush is also a writer and director herself.

Rush’s latest venture on-screen comes in the form of Netflix’s new festive flick, Let It Snow, which premiered on the streaming giant on November 8. Playing the role of Addie, Rush stars alongside Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’s Kiernan Shipka, Jacob Batalon and Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse’s Shameik Moore in the long-awaited film adaptation of John Green, Lauren Myracle and Maureen Johnson’s YA novel from 2008.

Equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking, Let It Snow is the perfect rom-com to get you into the Holiday spirit. To coincide with the film’s launch, Schön! caught up with Rush to discuss her journey into acting, adapting books to the screen and her future behind the cameras.

You started acting professionally at 13 in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, but how did you first discover acting? When did you get your amateur start?

I was always writing and directing plays at home with my younger brothers. When I got a bit older I fell in love with making movies on iMovie. And in school, I always participated in the plays or talent shows. That’s where it all began.
