Ramona shakes up Annie's life on Sterling Point, but viewers may know her face from dystopian drama, supernatural horror, and action-packed films.

Why Ramona From Sterling Point Looks So Familiar

Amélie Hoeferle, who didn't volunteer as tribute, gained attention for her roles in The Hunger Games franchise. Before starring in Prime Video's new YA drama, Sterling Point, she appeared in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes as Vipsania Sickle. Playing Vipsania, one of Coriolanus Snow's peers at the Capitol, she was assigned to mentor Treech, a tribute from District 7 in the 10th Hunger Games.

Despite her limited screen time, Hoeferle recalled loving the books, mentioning her fierce competitiveness in her audition. Hoeferle's filmography also includes a 2024 horror film, Night Swim, where she played the daughter of a former baseball player forced into early retirement due to a degenerative illness. Before her roles in The Hunger Games and Night Swim, Hoeferle worked with Ryan Phillippe in One Mile: Chapter One and Two, playing his teenage daughter.

Her performance in the series reminded Phillippe of his own daughter, contributing to the casting decision. Hoeferle also had a minor role in Ari Aster's 2025 film, Eddington, portraying a social justice influencer leading Black Lives Matter protests in a satirical take on the COVID-19 era.
