Amie Donald (born 2010 or 2011[1]) is a New Zealand child actress and dancer known for starring as the title character in the 2022 horror film M3GAN.[2][3]

Career

Donald is a dancer[4] who has performed in international competitions.[2] She represented New Zealand at the Dance World Cup in 2019,[3] where she was the first competitor from her country to win medals: a silver and a bronze.[1] She dances at Norris Dance Studios in Papakura.[5] Kylie Norris, her long-term dance teacher and choreographer, developed the M3GAN dance scene with her while filming was done in Auckland.[6]

Donald began her acting career by appearing as Maya Monkey in the Netflix TV series Sweet Tooth in 2021.[7] She is represented by the Bubblegum Talent Agency.[8]

In the 2022 film, M3GAN, Donald starred as the titular character alongside a cast with Allison Williams and fellow child star Violet McGraw.[4][9] The trailer for M3GAN went viral due to significant coverage regarding Donald's dance moves and physicality as the killer doll in the film.[4] Donald received movement coaching for the film from Jed Brophy and Luke Hawker.[4] The character's voice in the film was provided by actress Jenna Davis. In the film, Donald "performed her own stunts and co-choreographed the killer dance sequence from the film that went viral on TikTok".[2] Donald also surprised directors by figuring out how to do certain difficult movements on her own, such as a "cobra rise" from the ground without using her arms, and running through the woods on all fours.[2][10] /Film wrote of Donald's acting that "it's that human performance that really takes the creation from mildly creepy to terrifying... much of M3GAN's physicality came directly from Donald".[10] The Hollywood Reporter noted that Donald and co-star McGraw became close friends during the filming.[11]

Personal life

Donald lives in Auckland, New Zealand.[1]
