She was raised in Malibu and La Quinta (near Palm Springs) She attended Palm Valley High School then UC Santa Cruz where her favorite studies were in Marine Biology and Art. Upon moving back from University to pursue her acting career she went through some other part time jobs, one of which lead to her creation of Fleurings.

Samantha and this film have traveled around the country to various cities and film festivals including the Palm Springs International Fim Festival where it premiered. The film has been lauded as a fun rom-com action flick and has garnered many positive reviews for the young actress for her performance as "Kate" including this one from Gena Rowlands “It’s rare to see a young actress with such élan. Samantha is natural, charming and engaging to watch” – iconic actress, Gena Rowlands.
At age 15 she began acting. Her first acting was doing on camera hosting for Thane Marketing a company her mother Denise DuBarry Hay founded and built. Then in 2004 Catherine Hardwick cast her as Johnny Knoxville's girlfriend in the "Lords of Dogtown" as her first bit part in a feature film.

Samantha donates art to charitable organizations such as the American Cancer Society, the Desert Samaritans for Elderly. Lockwood resides in Los Angeles, California.
As a young actress just starting out, Samantha worked at a restaurant waiting tables. Her grandmother, Betty, advised her to wear a flower in her hair to make better tips. At first, Sam was surprised to hear this strange advice and thought it was some odd “superstitious idea” or an old wives tale. I might as well wear a ‘Four Leaf Clover for good luck too’ she thought. However, those words lingered in the back of her mind when she passed by a hibiscus bush on the way to work. She picked one and put it behind her ear and stepped through the door at Barney’s Burgers in Brentwood. From that moment on, Fleurings was on its way! Everyone had a nice response to the flower and to Samantha that day. Compliments were flowing from her boss, her co-workers and most importantly from the customers, “What a nice flower”, and “You look so nice and cheerful today” were common phrases heard all day. To her total surprise, Samantha counted her tips at the end of the day and they had nearly doubled. Her flower unfortunately had wilted too fast and got stuck in her hair. This is when the light bulb went on and she came up with the idea for Fleurings; small earrings and pendants to hang free from your hair so the flowers wouldn’t get tangled up and they would keep your flowers alive and fresh for hours, even days. Samantha wears them with jeans and to almost all of her red carpet events. People are always asking how to get them and now, Samantha is excited to share Fleurings with you, her celebrity friends and her family!
