Biography
AnnaSophia Robb was born on the 8th
December 1993 in Denver, Colorado, USA. She started off life with a dream to
act, and began by performing on a church stage in her home town in front of 500
people when she was just 5 years old. She began taking various acting classes
and courses at the age of 8, and was scouted at the age of 9 by an agency in
Los Angeles. She drove down to LA with her mom, during the pilot season. 42
auditions later, AnnaSophia booked her first national commercial, advertising
Bratz dolls.
The second time out to Los Angeles was a big one for AnnaSophia; she auditioned for the lead role of Opal in a movie called Because of Winn-Dixie (2005) opposite Jeff Daniels. Three months, three auditions and one screen test later, AnnaSophia booked her first role in a major motion picture. Since then, AnnaSophia also appeared as the title role in Samantha: An American Girl Holiday (2004) (TV), a TV movie for Warner Bros, and as Liza in an episode of "Drake & Josh" (2004). One of her most notable roles is playing the gum-chewing Violet Beauregarde in Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), in which she stars opposite Johnny Depp.
Most recently, AnnaSophia has been busy promoting her two latest features; magical fantasy Bridge to Terabithia (2007) in which she plays Leslie Burke, and horror/thriller The Reaping (2007) in which she plays Loren McConnell, and stars opposite Hilary Swank. She has four features yet to be released; Spy School (2008), _West Texas Children's Story, A (2007)_, _Ferris Wheel (2007)_ and Jumper (2008). She has a large role in all four productions, and stars opposite many big names.
In her spare time AnnaSophia enjoys dancing (Jazz, Hip-hop, break dancing and Irish dancing), swimming, skiing, running and modeling. She is also a talented singer and recorded a song for the Bridge to Terabithia (2007) soundtrack. At just thirteen years old, AnnaSophia has proven to Hollywood what she is capable of... and there's still loads more to come!

Five years ago, a blue-green-eyed
blonde named AnnaSophia began her career on a church stage in front of 500
people in Colorado, USA. Soon, she will be seen by millions in the lead role of
Opal, opposite Jeff Daniels,
in the 20th Century Fox film Because of Winn-Dixie
(2005), directed by Wayne Wang.
"Because of Winn-Dixie" isn't her first film, however; she made her movie debut playing Anna in the soon-to-be released Christie Eckert movie "Daddy's Day". Then there's the just-completed television guest-starring role for Nickelodeon, where she plays Liza in "Drake & Josh" (2004). AnnaSophia was on location in Toronto playing the lead in Samantha: An American Girl Holiday (2004) (TV), a TV movie for Warner Bros. In the summer of 2005, she began filming Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) portrayed the role of the gum-chewing Violet Beauregarde starring opposite Johnny Depp.
Of course, AnnaSophia was ready for her busy life before the camera. She has competed in gymnastics since she was five, has won awards in Irish dance as early as seven, landed a national recurring radio voice-over at eight, and got her first TV and print commercial in Denver six months later (the ad is still in use).
You might say that AnnaSophia has danced her way to the movies, since she started by excelling equally well in jazz, hip-hop, break-dancing, and the Irish jig. But, she's also pretty terrific at swimming, skiing, running, and modeling. And when she's not working with animals, she's telling jokes and doing a bit of singing. AnnaSophia is managed by Gem Entertainment Group Inc. and represented by Cunningham, Escott, Dipene, & Associates talent agency.
