Born on 21st December 1997, Madelyn Cline, a model turned actress, is best known for her breakthrough role as Sarah Cameron in the popular action-adventure mystery teen drama series, ‘Outer Banks.’ She’s been a regular fixture in this Netflix show since 2020, and it paved her path to Hollywood stardom when she landed the part of Whiskey in Rian Johnson’s 2022 standalone sequel mystery film ‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,’ alongside Daniel Craig.
With the release of ‘Outer Banks’ Season 4 on Netflix, curiosities surrounding her personal life have risen, too. Besides her relationship history and alleged plastic surgery, one of the top queries lately is about whether or not Madelyn Cline has any siblings. Without further ado, let’s jump right to it.
Does Madelyn Cline Have Any Siblings?
Madelyn Cline does not have any siblings, at least no brother or sister who is publicly known. The ‘Outer Banks’ star was raised as an only child by her parents, Pam and Mark Cline, in Goose Creek, South Carolina. Madelyn credits much of her success in the acting industry to her family who have supported her throughout her humble beginnings.
Cline shares a close bond with her mother Pam, who works as a real estate agent. She’s been supportive of her daughter’s career in modeling and acting from the start, taking her to auditions and shoots. Pam’s encouragement played a huge role in Madelyn pursuing her acting dreams. Madelyn’s father, Mark, on the other hand, is an engineer, and just like Pam, he has been a supportive presence, helping her realize her career aspirations. However, unlike her mother, Mark has maintained a rather low public profile.
Both her parents have provided a solid foundation for Madelyn’s success, but they were not always comfortable with their young daughter’s ambitions. The way she dropped out of college at Coastal Carolina University and moved to Los Angeles to focus on her acting career full-time did not make her a popular figure in her home. Speaking about the most significant moment that kickstarted her acting journey, the actress told Schön! Magazine,
I think one of the most defining moments for me was when I was in college driving back and forth from Myrtle Beach to Atlanta to work on The Originals and Stranger Things, and I realized that something had to give.
The 26-year-old continued,
I had run out of excused absences at school and I wanted to carry through with my studies, but in my heart, I knew I didn’t want to continue splitting my time – I wanted to at least try to pursue it full time. So, I ended up dropping out, packing my car up, and leaving for LA. It was one of those moments where it felt like there was absolutely no going back. It was terrifying and also the most exciting.
The initial concerns were definitely valid on the part of Pam and Mark, but this did not stop them from providing the very best support Cline could possibly receive throughout her rise to fame.
Not much detail is known about Madelyn Cline’s extended family, but the actress leaves no shortage of effort to express gratitude for her upbringing in South Carolina. She grew up in a small, tight-knit community, which has helped her remain grounded and humble despite her growing stardom. Needless to say, her Southern roots have influenced her values and personality in a major way.
Internet Thinks Madelyn Cline and Sadie Stanley Could Easily Pass as Sisters
In recent months, there has been a social media frenzy with fans taking to platforms like Twitter and TikTok, claiming how Madelyn Cline looks like Sadie Stanley, best known for ‘The Goldbergs’ (2020–2023), ‘The Sleepover’ (2020) and ‘Let Us In’ (2021). Some even thought they could be related and might be sisters, somehow. While it made no sense that they would be siblings, the resemblance was definitely uncanny.
You would be forgiven for thinking Sadie Stanley, 22, might be a little sister of Madelyn Cline, 26. From shared facial features to their overall appearance, the striking similarities are just too good to ignore. One user even pointed out that their “top lip” was remarkably identical, fueling siblings’ speculations.
So, what happened next? To no one’s surprise, the internet began to fan-cast Sadie and Madelyn as on-screen sisters. This casting wish seemed to resonate with a large group of fans, who are super eager to see the two play siblings in a movie or TV show. It appears to be an actual dream of many to see the duo appear in a future project together. Some social media users even carry horror movie hopes, imagining them as a perfect sister duo for a chilling adventure.
Fast forward to 2024, and fans are still hoping to manifest sibling roles for the pair in the future despite no confirmed relationship between the two in real life. The social media buzz thanks to their eerie resemblance is unlikely to go away anytime soon.
Meanwhile, the fan casting is not just limited to Sadie Stanley. Many fans wish to see Madelyn Cline play sister with several other actors, including Katherine Langford, Florence Pugh, and Sabrina Carpenter.
