PITTSBURGH — Maddie Ziegler can chart her rise to movie stardom based on what her fans call her when they see her on the street.
Early in the 19-year-old Murrysville native's career, they said, "You're Maddie from 'Dance Moms'!," referring to to the Lifetime reality show where she started dancing when she was just 8 years old. A few years later, fans began saying, "You're Maddie from 'Chandelier'!" as Ziegler starred in music videos for pop star Sia.
After working with Steven Spielberg on his "West Side Story" remake and starring in the powerful HBO Max drama "The Fallout," the refrain has mostly become simply, "Oh my gosh, are you Maddie Zielger?!"
