She first captured attention as a child actress with a memorable early role in the hit HBO series True Blood, where she appeared in two episodes in 2013.

In this critically acclaimed coming-of-age drama, she portrayed Monica Sherwood, the girlfriend of the young protagonist, a role that placed her in the orbit of one of cinema’s greatest directors and alongside a cast including Michelle Williams and Paul Dano. Her work in The Fabelmans earned her widespread recognition and marked a clear step into more prestigious film projects. She followed this with a leading role in the 2024 horror film Heretic, starring opposite Hugh Grant, a thriller that further showcased her versatility and her ability to anchor a major genre film. With a foundation in both television and film, and having already collaborated with legendary figures like Steven Spielberg, Chloe East continues to be a rising talent to watch in the entertainment industry.
