“Stella Kidd’s Strength Comes Straight From Miranda Herself.”
As Lt. Stella Kidd, Miranda Rae Mayo brings a firecracker spirit to Chicago Fire, but her real-life story is just as inspiring. Miranda is outspoken about mental health awareness and women’s empowerment, often speaking on panels and supporting causes that uplift young girls.
Behind the scenes, she’s known as the emotional glue of the cast. “She’s the most encouraging person on set,” co-star Kara Killmer once shared. Her chemistry with Taylor Kinney isn’t just good acting—it stems from mutual respect and deep friendship.
Whether she’s commanding a rescue or mentoring the next generation, Miranda proves that strength isn’t just written in the script—it comes from the soul.
