Who Is Madelyn Keys? Netflix’s 'Finding Her Edge' Actress That Looks Like Jennifer Lawrence

Hollywood has always had a fondness for doubles, Margot Robbie and Emma Mackey, Brittany Murphy and Lili Reinhart, faces so alike they invite a second glance and occasionally a third. Jennifer Lawrence, currently in talks for Die, My Love, has recently found herself added to that familiar conversation, courtesy of actress Madelyn Keys, whose resemblance has begun turning heads.
Clips from Keys’ latest series make the comparison difficult to ignore, the likeness striking enough to momentarily blur the line between coincidence and casting déjà vu. Still, Keys is not content to live as a reflection. Shared bone structure aside, she is steadily carving out her own space in the industry.
