Which actress plays Chrissy Cunningham in Stranger Things season 4?

Grace Van Dien plays Chrissy Cunningham in Stranger Things season 4. Chrissy is a popular Hawkins High cheerleader whose polished public image hides severe nightmares and emotional distress.

Van Dien appears in the season 4 premiere, “Chapter One: The Hellfire Club.” Chrissy seeks help from Eddie Munson because of disturbing visions, linking her storyline to the season’s central supernatural threat. Her death becomes one of the events that drives the town’s suspicion toward Eddie and the Hellfire Club.

The role is sometimes confused with other season 4 newcomers. Amybeth McNulty plays Vickie, while Sadie Sink plays Max Mayfield and Maya Hawke plays Robin Buckley. Van Dien is also part of a Hollywood acting family: she is the daughter of actor Casper Van Dien, but Chrissy was her own character rather than a recast of an established Hawkins student.
