[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Eden[/name_f] [name_m]Harding[/name_m] (17) is Priscilla’s co-star in Uphill Stream, playing [name_f]Danielle[/name_f] " [name_f]Dani[/name_f] " Spearing, the younger sister of [name_f]Becca[/name_f]. While her first name is [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], she prefers being called [name_f]Eden[/name_f], going so far as to work under the name [name_f]Eden[/name_f] [name_m]Harding[/name_m]. [name_f]Eden[/name_f] comes from the elite [name_m]Harding[/name_m] family, which have been a household name since the 1950s. Her great-grandmother, [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_m]Harding[/name_m], started this trend of stardom— she produced and acted in a show called The Girls of [name_m]Pine[/name_m] [name_f]Street[/name_f], a female-focused show that took Hollywood by storm. Many of the women in the [name_m]Harding[/name_m] family knew what they wanted, and they weren’t going to let misogyny stop them.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] like [name_f]Ripley[/name_f], [name_m]Eduard[/name_m], and [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f], Eden’s career also began young. Her first technical appearance was as a 9 month old baby on a show she doesn’t remember the name of, but she got her first role at the age of ten as a spunky tomboy daughter of a single mother. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though she was a promising actress, many people often dismissed her as a “nepo baby” riding off the coattails of her parents. This made [name_f]Eden[/name_f] double down on becoming a successful actress and being a successful student, and she would have almost perfect grades while balancing acting. Outside of television acting, [name_f]Eden[/name_f] also loves musical theatre, and would love to be on Broadway someday.
A lot of the criticism died down after fourteen year-old [name_f]Eden[/name_f] played [name_f]Juniper[/name_f] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] in the post-apocalyptic film Scorched [name_f]Earth[/name_f]. [name_f]Eden[/name_f] was able to balance cynicism and childlike optimism in the character, and was even nominated for an [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] for her performance. Though she didn’t win, [name_f]Eden[/name_f] was extremely proud of herself and hopes that one day, she would win that award for real.
Outside of Hollywood, [name_f]Eden[/name_f] is on her school’s debate team and is friends with most of the people there. A lot of people were surprised to see Eden’s eloquence— she’s much too aware of the “actors are dumb” stereotype— but it only served to win her friends. That’s why most of her social media is private; she would hate to see her friends get targeted by tabloids and rabid fans alike. She’s also crushing on one of her friends big time, and is teased endlessly for it. She would never tell anyone, though, as she’s afraid that’s the one thing she has no experience with. Her best friend says she could go for it, but… what if her best friend’s the person that she likes?
