Sadie Sink, who plays Max Mayfield, reveals that she took home the perfect prop from the set after appearing in Stranger Things season 4.
Sadie Sink as Max holding her Walkman wire in Stranger Things season 4
Sadie Sink has the perfect memento from Stranger Things season 4. Sink's time on Stranger Things started in 2017 with season 2, seeing her character Max become part of the core kids' group and eventually a major player. Max gained even more popularity after Stranger Things season 4, which saw her take the spotlight as one of the villainous Vecna's (Jamie Campbell Bower) main targets. Though her fate is unknown heading into season 5, Max is expected to return in the show's final season, which Sink has previously described as emotional.
In British Vogue's 2023 Hollywood Portfolio, Sink reveals that she couldn't resist taking home one key prop used heavily by her character in Stranger Things season 4. The actor states she asked to keep Max's Walkman when filming wrapped, allowing her to hold onto a cherished item that saved her character's life in the show's most recent installment. For Max, the Walkman served as both a literal lifeline and a comfort object while she underwent difficult and isolating times, making it a fitting souvenir for Sink. See the actor's comments about keeping the prop below:
"I've never stolen anything from set but I politely begged to take home the Walkman my character Max uses in season four of Stranger Things."
