The "Early Spark Squad" with Secret Superpowers

Sadie Sink, Jenna Ortega, Elle Fanning, Emma Raducanu, Caitlin Clark, Meghan Markle, Azzi Fudd & Paige Bueckers – The "Early Spark Squad" with Secret Superpowers!

  • Sadie Sink: She made her Broadway debut at age 10–11 as the title role in the revival of Annie, later sharing the stage with Helen Mirren in The Audience as young Queen Elizabeth II.
  • Jenna Ortega: At around age 7, her mom posted a video of her doing a dramatic monologue on Facebook as a joke; a casting agent saw it, launching her acting career (she grew up with five siblings).
  • Elle Fanning: She made her acting debut at a very young age playing the younger version of her sister Dakota Fanning’s character in I Am Sam; she comes from a family with acting and sports roots.
  • Emma Raducanu: Before focusing on tennis (which she started at age 5), she tried many sports including go-karting, motocross, basketball, golf, skiing, and horse riding; she’s also a big fan of mahjong, piano, and learning languages/cultures.
  • Caitlin Clark: As a highly competitive kid, she once got kicked out of PE class for being too intense about winning; she’s also a big chocolate lover (pancakes, brownies, cookies) and has a golden retriever named Bella.
  • Meghan Markle: At age 11, she wrote a letter to Procter & Gamble protesting a sexist dish soap ad aimed only at women (and successfully got the ad changed); she also worked as a freelance calligrapher early on.
  • Azzi Fudd: She was named after WNBA/Olympic legend Jennifer Azzi (her mom was a fan); she carries an emotional support stuffed octopus from high school and once went to prom with MLB player James Wood.
  • Paige Bueckers: She started playing basketball at age 5 and quickly became obsessed (her dad tried other sports first); she’s a sneakerhead who got her own Nike signature shoe and is known for her photography hobby.
