Fun fact
She started acting professionally at twelve years old and never had a real gap between child and adult roles — an unusually smooth transition in an industry that rarely allows one.
The verdict
Born and raised in Toronto, a working child actor from twelve who never had the usual awkward transition to adult roles — Milk, Scott Pilgrim, The Newsroom, one after another. Born, raised, five points.
