Early life
Stephanie Pearson was born in Burbank, California on December 16, 1988, the daughter of Lisa Pearson and director and producer Lee Pearson. She has a younger sister, Leila. She grew up in Laguna Beach, California and spent time at her father's production studio watching the shoots.[1] She decided she wanted to become an actor at the age of ten.
In 2013, Pearson starred in James Wan's Insidious: Chapter 2, opposite Rose Byrne and Ty Simpkins. This film kicked off Pearson's career as a "scream queen" in the indie film scene. Most notably, in 2017 Pearson starred in Ryuhei Kitamura's Downrange,[3] which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival as part of their Midnight Madness series and won the Jury Prize for Best Film at Spain's Molins Horror Film Festival. Pearson's "stand out" acting in the film was heralded as "an intense and smart" performance.[4] Subsequent lead roles in horror-thriller films for Pearson included 2019's stunt-heavy Recovery[5], the 2020 release Psychosynthesis directed by Noam Kroll,[6] distributed by Amazon,[1] and 2022's The Sleep.
Pearson created a "90's nostalgia throwback"[11] music video and EP cover art for boy band 98º and their pop single "Where Do You Wanna Go" in 2021. Billboard was quoted as saying "the summer just heated up with the new video from 98 Degrees for their hot-weather bop...directed by Stephanie Pearson".
Personal life
Since 2017, Pearson has been in a relationship with Australian musician Chris Cester, with whom she lives with in Los Angeles.[12]
