48.Anna Chlumsky


Many may have goosebumps upon seeing the 1991 film My Girl, not only because of its storyline and plot twist but also because of the acting skills of child actors Macaulay Culkin and Anna Chlumsky. As the film gathered positive reviews, a sequel was made in 1994 entitled My Girl 2. Chlumsky gained popularity as one of the child stars of the 1990s.

As she made several films, she teamed up with other child stars such as Christina Ricci, with whom she starred in the 1995 film Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountains. From 1999 to 2005, she took a break from acting to pursue a college degree. She went back to acting in 2006 after experiencing other work which she finds unsatisfying. Chlumsky regained popularity as she was cast for the role of Amy Brookheimer in the TV series Veep, where she was nominated and won several awards for her performance.
