Hailey Benton Gates is a jack of all trades (or jackess or jill, whatever) working in many different areas of the industry as an actress, model, activist, and journalist. The granddaughter of Nashville and Thieves Like Us screenwriter Joan Tewkesbury, Gates began working as a model in her early twenties, after graduating from NYU’s prestigious Tisch School of the Arts, but she has been very selective when it comes to acting roles and it has led her to a resume filled with killer credits. You may have caught Hailey on the boob tube in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: The Return, or on the big screen in Jonathan Demme’s Ricki and the Flash (2015), The Safdie Brothers’ Uncut Gems (2019), Charli XCX’s The Moment (2026), or Kristoffer Borgli’s The Drama (2026)! The last of those features Hailey’s sexiest on-screen moment to date, when she tries to hook up with Robert Pattinson’s character, showing off some bra-clad cleavage and her bethonged booty before he calls the whole thing off! What was he thinking??
