You've probably heard of Netflix’s latest true crime series, Unbelievable, an eight-part mini series about unsolved rape cases. This means that you've probably heard of the series' leading actress Kaitlyn Dever, who has shot to fame since it's aired. But just who is she? Grazia investigates...
Who Is Kaitlyn Dever?
Kaitlyn Dever is an American actress and singer who has appeared in a number of small and large films and TV shows. Most notably, she is the leading actress in Netflix's feminist series Unbelievable, which is based on a piece of Pulitzer-winnning journalism called An Unbelievable Story of Rape from US organisations The Marshall Project and ProReublica. The story centres around Marie Adler (Kaitlyn Dever), an 18-year-old who was raped at knifepoint in Washington in 2008 when a stranger broke into her apartment and tied her to her bed.
Off-camera, Dever formed folk-pop band Beulahbelle with her sister Mady (who is the spitting image of her!).

In a previous interview with Teen Vogue, Dever gushed over how watching Collette in The Sixth Sense sparked her interest in acting, stating that 'the first scary movie my parents let me watch was The Sixth Sense. When I saw [Collette] in that film, I thought, oh my god this is a real performance. It was the first honest performance I had seen and it just blew me away and I'm like that is what I want to do. That's exactly what I want to do.'
