KIERSEY CLEMONS

AGE: 23. PROVENANCE: Pensacola, Florida. MILITARY BRAT: “I grew up everywhere because my dad was in the navy. I had to adapt to each environment.” GIRL POWER: “My family’s full of wild women. My grandma was a prima ballerina, so my acting stems from her.” FAST TIMES: Clemons spent her teenage years in Redondo Beach, California, acting in high-school plays—“My mom pushed me into doing musical theater”—and soon turned professional in L.A. “I had a routine for four years of just working at Abercrombie Kids and auditioning.” In 2014, she booked the cult classic Dope. “My life shifted.” BRUSHSTROKES: After two seasons on Amazon’s Transparent and a starring role in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, this month Clemons is Mimi Pastori in the coming-of-age tale The Only Living Boy in New York. “She’s an indecisive artist who’s naïve about romantic relationships—I can relate!” SUPERPOWER: Up next, Warner Bros. cast Clemons to play DC Comics’ Iris West in the anticipated superhero movies Justice League and The Flash. “At this time in America, I think people want to watch heroes. People point out that I’m black and playing Iris West, but in high school I was black Sandy in Grease. So I keep that one in my back pocket to let people know it’s not my first rodeo.”
