Actress AnnaSophia Robb

She's just twenty-three, and she doesn't mind acting.

AnnaSophia Robb is a young actress who's likely to become one of the mainstays among American actors in this century.  She was discovered at the age of nine and began doing commercials.  Now she's doing movies and television, and she's beginning to attract a lot of attention.

While she's known for Return To Winn-Dixie, a movie about a girl and her dog, and for playing Violet in the 2005 film version of the Roald Dahl book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Ms. Robb is best known (so far) for her television work.  She starred in The Carrie Diaries," a prequel to "Sex in the City," as the very young Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker's role, of course) and she played the impetuous Alice Green, a Southern girl with a streak of independence, in PBS's scripted Civil War hospital drama "Mercy Street," a show that would still be on if PBS were anything like the BBC.  

I think it's a safe bet that we'll be seeing more of AnnaSophia Robb.
