LILI REINHART FIRST CAME to prominence on The CW’s dark, almost noir-ish take on the Archie comics when she was cast as major character Betty Cooper. With her innocent, clear-eyed beauty, she was the perfect physical embodiment of the role. Very quickly she established herself as a talented actor by bringing unexpected depth and pathos to the character of Betty. It’s unsurprising that Hollywood has sat up and taken notice, with roles in the crime drama “Hustlers” (2019) and a producing and starring role in “Chemical Hearts” (2020) quickly following.
But what remains one of Reinhart’s strongest qualities is her willingness to speak up and engage with her fans — a not inconsiderable army comprising over 24 million Instagram and 3.2 million Twitter followers.
Reinhart, who grew up in Ohio, started by doing theatre in her hometown. This slowly evolved into answering open casting calls. According to Reinhart, her luck changed when her mother began driving her to New York City for bigger auditions. “I didn’t come from a family that had any knowledge or idea of how the industry works or where to begin. We were sort of on our own — turning to the Internet to answer our questions about how I could possibly make my dream come true,” says Reinhart in an email interview.
