To my beloved Hollywood, my amazing fans, and the whole entertainment community, As I sit down to reflect on the great trip I’ve had the opportunity of walking, I am filled with gratitude, love, and humility. This letter is from the bottom of my heart, expressing my eternal gratitude for your constant love, support, and believe in me since the beginning.
To Hollywood, the dream machine that welcomed a little girl with huge hopes into a world I could only fathom. You’ve been my creative home since my first audition and through the roles that have changed me both personally and professionally. You have created an environment in which I can learn, grow, and push boundaries. This industry is more than simply where I work; it is where I discovered myself, surrounded by talented writers, visionaries, and creators that inspire me every day.
To my admirers, your love means more to me than words could ever express. You have supported me through every moment, celebrated my accomplishments, and been by my side during my quieter times. Your encouragement has fuelled my enthusiasm, and I endeavour to bring authenticity, excitement, and significance to every project I work on. From movie theatres to music playlists, your support never ceases to astound me. You’ve given my art a meaning, for which I am eternally grateful.
To the entertainment industry’s actors, directors, writers, producers, musicians, and every unsung hero behind the scenes, you are its heartbeat. You’ve demonstrated what collaboration, resilience, and hard effort really mean. I’ve learnt so much from your example and the teachings you’ve offered.
It is not lost on me how fortunate I am to be living this dream, which began as a whisper in my heart and has blossomed into something I could not have imagined. Thank you for believing in me and supporting my voice.
As I look ahead, I commit to continue giving my best to this craft—to honour the platform you’ve given me and to guarantee that the stories I tell resonate and inspire. This adventure is ours to share, and I’m excited to see where it takes us next.
With love, light, and infinite gratitude Hailee Steinfeld
