Kathryn Newton is an American actress who has been working in the entertainment industry since childhood and has successfully transitioned into adult roles in both film and television. Born on February 8, 1997, in Orlando, Florida, she began acting at the age of four and landed her first significant role as Louise Brooks in the CBS soap opera Gary Unmarried in 2008. Her early start gave her a professional foundation that many young actors lack, and she steadily built her resume through a series of increasingly prominent roles.

Newton gained wider recognition through her recurring role as Claire Novak in the long-running CW series Supernatural and her starring role as Abigail Carlson in the HBO limited series Big Little Lies (2017-2019) alongside Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, and Meryl Streep. Her work on Big Little Lies, one of the most critically acclaimed television series of the decade, elevated her profile significantly and opened doors to major film opportunities.

In the 2020s, Newton made a strong push into blockbuster films. She starred in Freaky (2020), a horror-comedy directed by Christopher Landon, followed by Detective Pikachu (2019) and her role as Cassie Lang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023), which brought her into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She also starred in Lisa Frankenstein (2024), a horror comedy that showcased her range as a leading lady. Her MCU involvement significantly raised her profile and earning potential.

With a net worth estimated at $3 million in 2026, Newton has built her wealth through consistent work across television and film since childhood. Her entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a major career milestone, and her willingness to take on diverse genres from horror to comedy to superhero films positions her well for continued financial growth. She is also known as a competitive amateur golfer, adding another dimension to her public profile.
