Eaddy Mays
Eaddy Mays, a talented American actress and producer, was born in New York and raised by her mother. At just eight years old, she transformed her home’s basement into the "Magic Theater," where she passionately reenacted popular films and Broadway shows, taking on every role herself with an audience of stuffed animals. Encouraged by her mother, Mays ventured into community theater by the age of ten, landing her first performance in a production of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen."
In her teenage years, Mays contributed to her stepfather Bob Haymes' production company, hosting video showcases. This opportunity allowed her to travel to China, Hong Kong, and Japan in 1984, expanding her experience in the entertainment industry.
After finishing college, Mays explored commercial radio and television before making a significant breakthrough in 2009 with her role as Elaine in the Academy Award-winning film "The Blind Side," where she starred alongside Sandra Bullock. Her daring decision to shave her head for a medical commercial drew attention, leading to her casting as a memorable villain in MTV's "Teen Wolf," where she received critical acclaim and fan backlash for her chilling portrayal.
Mays' creative spirit also led her to co-write, produce, and star in the independent romantic comedy "Highland Fling," which followed the quirky adventures of a Scotsman and a southern belle. Beyond her film endeavors, Mays has dedicated her time to volunteer work with children, including her role as a legal guardian for displaced youth and co-founding The Highland House, a shelter for at-risk youth.
Now residing in Los Angeles, Mays continues to volunteer, balancing her career with raising her three children, a horse named Cali, and a cat named Kidiot, while still nurturing the theatrical spirit that started it all.
