Samantha Burton, an American actress and model, was born on December 22, 1991, in Nashville, Tennessee. She attended Tullahoma High School and later pursued higher education, where she was reportedly crowned homecoming queen in 2017. Details about her time in college remain limited, reflecting her overall preference for privacy.
Burton made her acting debut at the age of 14 in the 2005 family sports film The Sandlot 2. Cast in a leading role, her performance in the sequel to the classic coming-of-age baseball film drew attention and marked her entry into acting. Despite the film’s moderate reception, it served as her only major acting credit, after which she did not pursue a sustained career in film or television acting.
Following her appearance in The Sandlot 2, Burton received media attention and engaged in a brief period of modeling. Her visibility increased for a short time, aided in part by her personal life, including a reported relationship with co-star Max Lloyd-Jones from 2005 to 2006. This period coincided with the filming and immediate aftermath of the movie's release.
While she stepped away from acting, Burton remained connected to the entertainment industry. Between 2011 and 2012, she worked as a production executive on the television documentary series Obsessive Compulsive Hoarder. This role indicated a possible shift in interest toward production and behind-the-scenes work, rather than on-screen performance.
