As the eldest daughter of actress Pamela Adlon and director Felix Adlon, she grew up immersed in a creative environment. She has two younger sisters, Odessa A’zion and Valentine “Rocky” Adlon.

Her paternal grandfather was the German filmmaker Percy Adlon, and her maternal grandparents included writer-producer Don Segall and an English-born grandmother who converted to Judaism, providing Gideon with a Jewish upbringing on her mother’s side.

During her formative years, she spent time between Los Angeles and the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where her mother worked extensively in television.

Although details about her primary schooling are limited, Gideon enrolled at Columbia College Chicago to study photography. After only one year of university, she chose to leave campus to pursue acting full-time.

Career

Gideon Adlon made her professional acting debut in 2011 with a guest appearance on the FX series Louie, in which she played Louie’s niece, Amy and shared a scene with her mother, Pamela Adlon.

Over the next few years, she accumulated minor roles on television: she appeared as Felicity on Girl Meets World (2016), Gina on Better Things (2016), Teenaged Annie Jones on the miniseries When We Rise (2017), Katie Hammond on Criminal Minds (2017), and Tracy on American Crime (2017). These early appearances showcased her natural screen presence and readiness for more substantial roles.

Her career breakthrough came in 2018 when she starred as Sam Lockwood in the ensemble comedy Blockers, directed by Kay Cannon. Critics praised her timing and chemistry with co-stars; the film grossed over $204 million worldwide. In 2019, Gideon portrayed Martha Coleman in the Sundance-selected drama The Mustang, further demonstrating her dramatic range.

That same year, she joined the main cast of Netflix’s teen mystery series The Society as Becca Gelb, a role that brought her to the attention of a broader, younger audience. Although The Society was initially renewed for a second season, it was ultimately cancelled due to pandemic-related production issues.

In late 2020, Gideon headlined The Craft: Legacy, a supernatural horror sequel, playing Frankie. The film’s release on Halloween weekend drew mixed reviews, but her performance was singled out for showcasing her adaptability to genre fare. In 2021, she starred as Claire Goode in Witch Hunt, a horror fantasy directed by Elle Callahan.

Her subsequent projects included Parker Mason in the indie horror feature Sick (2022) and voice work as Violet in the video game The Walking Dead: The Final Season (2018), Hayley Travis in the animated series Pacific Rim: The Black (2021–2022), and ZaZa Royale in Battle Kitty (2022). In 2023, she expanded her voice résumé by voicing Circle in Shape Island and Phantom Girl in Legion of Super-Heroes.
