Entertainment, A Week Away' Star Bailee Madison

 

The name Bailee Madison might not mean much to most film or TV series enthusiasts. But odds are, her face is recognizable only a few minutes into the movie 'A Week Away.' Though the 21-year-old star just caught a big break in the Christian musical teen drama, she's an old hand at Hollywood hits.

For one thing, Madison got her true start in film in 'Lonely Hearts' back in 2006 at the age of seven. Her next piece was 'Bridge to Terabithia,' where she played the younger sister of one of the lead characters.

If that's not enough for fans to recognize the young starlet, also consider that she spent some time on Disney back in the day. She had a guest role on 'Unfabulous,' 'Cory in the House,' a seasonal episode of 'Drake & Josh,' and even appeared on 'Wizards of Waverly Place.' She may not have been as big a star as, say, actress Jennifer Stone.

But Madison did have a recurring role across six episodes as one of the Russo family members (she played a cousin), per IMDb.

Of course, Disney wasn't Bailee's only claim to fame. She appeared in a handful of short films, plus TV series like 'Trophy Wife,' 'Once Upon a Time,' and 'The Fosters.' In fact, she played a significant role on 'The Fosters' for 11 episodes.

 

And then, Bailee appeared in two of Meghan Trainor's music videos in 2019; "Foolish" and "All the Ways" (despite 'Treat Myself' being her worst-selling album, Meghan's still out there making music!).

Bailee's biggest and most significant project to date was probably 'Good Witch,' which ran from 2015 to 2019 and featured Madison in 55 episodes. She also completed one film in 2019 ('Love & Debt'), and has another project upcoming. Not that she needs any more notoriety.

The fact is, Bailee's earned a following of about 2.9 million followers on Instagram, and she's basically burning up the social media charts. She acts, she sings, she poses for magazines, and there's no end in sight. Although, Madison hasn't released a full album, like many ot

Oh, and Bailee's last confirmed boyfriend (whom she is apparently still dating) was Blake Richardson, notes Creeto, a band member of New Hope Club. The pair went public in 2019, but it wasn't that surprising; Blake's group has opened for Disney star Sabrina Carpenter, so it seems like the guys have Disney ties.

Plus, Bailee appeared in the 2020 music videos "Love Again" and "Worse" as "Blake's Girlfriend." Sounds like confirmation enough! Bailee is even credited with directing the video for "Worse," so this is clearly a power couple in the making.

All that's left is to sit back and see where Bailee (and her man) goes next.
