Anna Baryshnikov

Anna Katerina Baryshnikova ( born May 22, 1992) is an American actress. Following her film debut in Wiener-Dog, Baryshnikov had supporting roles in films such as Manchester by the Sea (2016), The Kindergarten Teacher (2018), and Love Lies Bleeding (2024). She is best known for her lead roles as Maya on the first season of the CBS sitcom series Superior Donuts (2017) and Lavinia Norcross Dickinson on the Apple TV+ comedy drama series Dickinson (2019–2021).

Early life Baryshnikov is the daughter of Latvian-American ballet dancer and actor Mikhail Baryshnikov and former ballet dancer Lisa Rinehart. Through her father, she is of Russian descent. As a young girl, she took beginner's ballet classes but decided she was unsuited to it, as she was too hyperactive and talkative when she was supposed to be focused at the barre. Her elder half-sister, from her father's relationship with actress Jessica Lange, is dancer Shura Baryshnikov. Anna grew up in Palisades, New York, and attended the Ethical Culture Fieldston School in New York City.

Baryshnikov's most prominent role to date was in the 2016 critically acclaimed drama Manchester by the Sea, alongside Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams. Her character, Sandy, is a girlfriend of Patrick Chandler, portrayed by Lucas Hedges. The series, which debuted in February 2017, was renewed for a second season by CBS, but Baryshnikov's character does not appear in the second season. In 2017, she appeared in the Broadway production of the play Time and the Conways. In 2018, she appeared in the film The Kindergarten Teacher.

On September 26, 2018, Baryshnikov was cast in the role of Lavinia Norcross Dickinson in the Apple TV+ series Dickinson, alongside Hailee Steinfeld.

In July 2026, Baryshnikov was cast as a series regular in Queenstown, an eight episode Netflix original drama to be set and filmed in New Zealand. Set against the backdrop of Queenstown's luxury ski resort scene, the series follows a wealthy family whose members collide with the people who work for them over power, loyalty, and desire. The series is led by Rufus Sewell, Frances O'Connor, and Alycia Debnam-Carey.
