Eden Grew Among Celebrities Stacked Family
From the moment Eden Brolin was born, she already had multiple connections with Hollywood. She was born on April 18, 1994 to actor father Josh Brolin and actress mother Alice Adair. Apart from her parents, her grandfather James Brolin is the Golden Globe and Emmy winning Hollywood legend. Her grandmother Jane Cameron Agee who unfortunately died in a car accident in 1995, was known to be an aspiring actress at Twentieth Century Fox. Eden’s grandfather is now married to EGOT winner actress and singer Barbara Streisand. Her brother Trevor also tried his hand in filmmaking earlier in his career.
Being born in a family that had connections with Hollywood has always been a plus point for Eden. She had all the things she wanted as a child and her family’s connections with Hollywood certainly helped her to be an actress.
Eden is Slowly Making her Name in Acting World
Being surrounded by actors all her life, it makes no surprise that Eden Brolin would be interested in acting. Recently, during an interview when she was sasked whether she always wanted to be an actress on not, she replied:
No, I didn’t know. I was always kind of curious about it. But you can say that about so many generations and so many different industries. It’s one of those things that feels kind of hard to avoid when that’s something you know. And yet, I grew up sort of distanced from it, so I had more of curiosity around it that sort of curated this interest in what it was to be a part of making movies and TV.
Her first acting gig was in a 2008 short film ‘X’ that was written and directed by her father. However, her first breakthrough role came in 2015 where she starred in Richard Linklater-produced indie movie ‘I Dream Too Much’. In 2016, she appeared in the crime thriller ‘Manson’s Lost Girls’. The same year, she appeared in one episode of the medical drama ‘Code Black’.
2017 was the year Eden Brolin got one of the major breaks in her career. She was cast as a recurring character in the supernatural drama ‘Beyond’ on the Freeform Tv channel.

In 2019, Eden Brolin portrayed Ophelia in the stage production of ‘Hamlet’. In 2020, Eden Brolin was cast as Mia who is a barrel racer at the rodeo in season three of ‘Yellowstone’.
