Early life

Silvers was born in Los Angeles, the fifth of six children[5] born to a Swiss mother and a Jewish American father.[6][7] Silvers began attending theatre camps at age 12 after watching the film What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and decided to pursue a career in acting. Silvers attended the Palisades Charter High School where she pursued tennis.[8] She attended New York University to study acting but changed her major to history with a minor in film. She dropped out of college during her junior year.[9][10]

Career

Acting

Silvers made her acting debut in an episode of the Hulu thriller series Into the Dark (2018–present) and proceeded to appear in M. Night Shyamalan's film Glass (2019).[11] She auditioned for the horror film Ma (2019) while in college, and got the role despite believing she had botched her audition. In Ma, she portrays Maggie, whose friends befriend the main character who soon begins terrorizing them. Silvers got the script for Booksmart (2019) while filming Ma and was initially asked to audition for the main character's crush, but auditioned for the character of Hope instead.[12] In October 2018, it was reported that Silvers had been cast in the action movie Eve, later re-titled Ava.[13] In September 2019, it was announced that Silvers was cast as Erin Naird in the Netflix comedy series Space Force (2020–2022).[14] She also stars in Sarah Adina Smith's 2021 film Birds of Paradise for Amazon.[15]

Modeling

Silvers was scouted by IMG Models via their "We Love Your Genes" account on Instagram in her senior year of high school after being accepted into NYU, and continued modeling through school to pay for her studies.[3][16] In 2019, she closed Stella McCartney's Autumn show.[17]
