Cast & Creative
is a dynamic actress and singer who has already established herself as a trailblazer of her generation. At only 17 years old, Rachel earned the role of ‘María Vasquez’ for Steven Spielberg’s new adaptation of West Side Story out of 30,000 auditions. The film captured Rachel’s motion picture debut and earned her an NBR Award for Best Actress along with a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical.
On stage, Rachel has solidified her place as a powerhouse with her Olivier Award-winning turn as ‘Eva Perón’ in Jamie Lloyd’s revival of Evita at The London Palladium. Her final performance broke the record for the longest standing ovation in The Palladium’s history, at nine minutes long.
Before that, Rachel made her Broadway debut in Sam Gold’s Romeo + Juliet, starring opposite Kit Connor with music by Jack Antonoff. The modern-day, Gen-Z-inflected adaptation broke ticket sale records, generating $3.1 million in under 24 hours, the highest single on-sale date for a play in Shubert history, and by the end of its run, had recorded the youngest ticket-buying audience in Broadway history.
On the big screen, she has starred as ‘Snow White’ in Disney’s live-action remake, making her one of the first Latina actresses to lead a live-action Disney film. Rachel received critical praise for her performance, and the film reached #1 on Disney+. Before that, she led The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes as ‘Lucy Gray Baird’ alongside Viola Davis, Peter Dinklage, and Hunter Schafer, which opened at #1 at the box office worldwide. Her performance earned her the Best Action Movie Star Award at the People’s Choice Awards. She has also been seen in A24’s disaster comedy Y2K, the superhero film Shazam! Fury of the Gods opposite Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu and lent her voice to Netflix’s animated feature Spellbound opposite Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem.
Rachel’s upcoming films include She Gets It From Me opposite Marissa Tomei and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Octet with an incredible ensemble including Amanda Seyfried, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Tramell Tillman. It was also just announced that she will star in Last Dance directed by visionary filmmaker Karim Aïnouz opposite Ben Platt, who will also contribute original music. The film is written by Emily Ziff Griffin, based on her 2021 autobiographical New Yorker article.
Rachel is a Forbes “30 Under 30” recipient and has been recognized by Glamour US and UK as a 2025 “Woman of the Year,” by Time Magazine as one of their “Latino Leaders” as well as “TIME100 Next,” by Variety in their annual “Power of Young Hollywood Impact” list, and by The Hollywood Reporter on their “Next Generation” list. She was also named one of “Nine Latinx Women in Hollywood Currently Changing the World” by Elle Magazine.
