actress Zendaya first gained fame for comedic roles on the Disney Channel and later transitioned to such severe parts as Rue Bennett in the HBO series Euphoria, for which she won two Emmy Awards.
Zendaya was born to teachers Claire Stoermer and Kazembe Ajamu. At a young age, she began performing in Oakland, California, practicing hula with the Academy of Hawaiian Arts and dancing with Future Shock Oakland, a hip-hop dance troupe. She studied at the Cal Shakes Conservatory Program, Orinda; the American Conservatory Theater, San Francisco; and the Oakland School for the Arts.
In 2010 Zendaya won the part of Raquel (“Rocky”) Blue, one of the lead characters in the Disney Channel’s Shake It Up, a comedy about two Chicago teenagers attempting to realize their dreams of becoming professional dancers. The show ran until 2013, and during that time Zendaya released her first single, “Swag It Out” (2011), and her first full album, Zendaya (2013), which featured the hit song “Replay.” She also starred in a number of Disney-made-for-TV movies, including Frenemies (2012) and Zapped (2014).
Looking to broaden her range, Zendaya appeared in her first non-Disney role in 2015, guest-starring on the TV comedy Black-ish. At this time she also appeared in a number of music videos, including Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” (2015), Beyoncé’s “All Night” (2016), and Bruno Mars’s “Versace on the Floor” (2017). In 2017 Zendaya had her first big-screen role, as Michelle (“MJ”) Jones in Spider-Man: Homecoming. That same year she showed off her many talents in the musical film The Greatest Showman, performing trapeze and singing (with Zac Efron) one of the movie’s most-talked-about songs (“Rewrite the Stars”).
Zendaya’s estimated net worth is over USD 20 million.
In 2019 Zendaya had a guest spot on the TV drama The O.A. and took on the lead role of Rue Bennett, a high-school student battling anxiety and drug addiction in the HBO series Euphoria. Lauded for her “haunting, painful, and affecting performance” in Euphoria, she received two Primetime Emmy Awards (2020, 2022) for outstanding lead actress in a drama series and a Golden Globe (2023) for best actress in a TV drama. Both of her Emmy wins were historic.
At the time of her first award in 2020, Zendaya was the youngest actor to win in that category, and in 2022 she became the first Black woman to win that Emmy twice. In addition, she was the youngest two-time Emmy winner. During this time Zendaya reprised her role as MJ in Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). Her other movies from 2021 included the romantic drama Malcolm & Marie, the animated Space Jam: A New Legacy, and an adaptation of Dune, Frank Herbert’s 1965 science-fiction epic.
In addition to acting, dancing, and singing, Zendaya was also known for her interest in fashion. She often turned heads at red-carpet events with her bold, playful looks, including at the 2015 Academy Awards ceremony, where she appeared in an elegant off-the-shoulder ivory gown with her hair in dreadlocks. After a commentator made questionable remarks about the hairstyle, Zendaya addressed the inherent racism the next day on Instagram. She stated: “There is a fine line between what is funny and disrespectful.…
There is already harsh criticism of African American hair in society.…My wearing my hair in locs on an Oscar red carpet was to showcase them in a positive light.” The commentator apologized, and Mattel soon created a Barbie doll modeled after Zendaya’s red-carpet look. In 2016 Zendaya launched a fashion line called Daya. She then collaborated with American designer Tommy Hilfiger on Tommy x Zendaya, which debuted in 2019. That year the collection won acclaim for its fall show in New York, which featured all Black models ranging in age from 18 to 70 and included such veterans as Pat Cleveland, Beverly Johnson, Veronica Webb, and Grace Jones.
