Sadie Sink had a love-hate relationship with Walkman in Stranger Things
In a cover story with W Magazine, Sadie Sink sat down to talk about her critically acclaimed role in Stranger Things. During the round of questions and answers, she was asked: “Max almost always has big headphones on. How much did you feel like you were in your own world on set?”
In her response, the All Too Well star stated that about a dozen Walkman were kept on set because they didn’t work properly. Walkman is a 90s device so sometimes the music didn’t play said the actress. She further remarked that the Walkman wasn’t in a good condition and voice was faint and muddled.
