Cash was born on June 13, 1997, with the name "Megan Haun", but changed her name to "Presley Cash" because she felt it better represented her.[1][2] Her grandmothers loved Elvis Presley, and the name "Cash" is a family name.[1] When Cash was 8, she and her mother, Sandra Haun, moved from Sunrise Beach, Missouri to Hollywood to work in the entertainment industry.[1] For the first three years they lived there, they slept on the floor of their apartment.[1][3] Cash spent her teenage years living in the Oakwood apartments, a temporary housing complex for child actors in Los Angeles.[4]
Career
Cash and her mother were featured in the documentary, The Hollywood Complex,[5] and the TLC special, Raising Fame,[6] which were both about families trying to help their children become famous in Hollywood.[1][7] In 2021, Cash hosted the talk show, Coffee and Contemplation Live.[8]
Work with Taylor Swift
In 2011, at age 13, Cash starred alongside Joey King in Swift's music video for "Mean" from the album Speak Now. Cash played a character who was bullied as a child, and grows up to be successful.[1] In 2023, Cash starred with King and Taylor Lautner in Swift's video for the song "I Can See You" from the re-recorded album Speak Now (Taylor's Version). Cash played a character plotting to free Swift from a vault she was trapped in, and assist her in a heist.[9] The video was filmed in Liverpool and directed by Swift.[10] On July 7, 2023, Swift debuted the video at a concert at her The Eras Tour in celebration for the release of Speak Now (Taylor's Version), and invited Cash, King, and Lautner on stage.[2]
