Life and career
Cicchino grew up in Glendale, Queens, New York.[4] She is half Ecuadorian, half Italian,[1] and has a twin sister.[2] Cicchino started dancing at age 4,[5][6] but her mother put her in acting classes at 11 or 12 years old after which she decided she wanted to be an actress.[4][7]
In 2015, at age 13, Cicchino was cast in leading role of Babe in the Nickelodeon television comedy series Game Shakers,[8][9] which ran for three seasons.[4] In August 2018, she was cast in the role of Marisol Fuentes on the Netflix comedy series Mr. Iglesias, which debuted in 2019.[10] In August 2019, Cicchino was cast as Mim, best friend to Clancy whose parents are kidnapped, in the Netflix film The Sleepover, which was released in August 2020.[11][12] In July 2021, she was cast as Luisa Torres in the HBO Max limited television series And Just Like That..., based on Sex and the City.[13]
Cicchino starred as Daisy Ramirez in the film Turtles All the Way Down, directed by Hannah Marks[14] and released on Max (formerly HBO Max) in May 2024. She is credited by only her first name in the film, having revealed her decision to continue her career mononymously as Cree in a Zach Sang podcast the week before its release. Of the name change, she stated "it just felt the most comfortable", and that it marked her moving into a "new era" with her acting when she entered her twenties.[15]
