AnnaSophia Robb is a young American actress, who is famous for her teenage roles in such films as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Bridge to Terabithia and Because of Winn-Dixie.

The future actress was born on December 8, 1993, in the city of Denver, located in the state of Colorado. She is the only child of Janet and David Robb. AnnaSophia was named after her maternal great-grandmother, Sofia, and her paternal grandmother, Anna Marie.

AnnaSophia had a Christian upbringing, as her family was very religious. By the way, the girl became interested in acting in the church. When she was very small she performed in front of a rather large audience and decided that she would like to devote her future life to it. From the age of four, AnnaSophia was engaged in ballroom dancing and gymnastics, but when she started acting in films, she gave up these hobbies.

Robb did not go to schoolschool. She was home-schooled and learned subjects independently, under the supervision of her parents. Only the last few years, the girl began attending the Arapahoe High School, and she graduated in 2012. Two years later she entered New York University.

When she was a very small girl, AnnaSophia Robb started her career as a model, starring in commercials for several brands. As a teenager, she also appeared on the camera in a television commercial for McDonald's. In 2005, the girl was the face of Trad Clothing and more recently presented a new school uniform for girls.

The young actress attracted the more serious attention of the audience after the family drama Because of Winn-Dixie and Tim Burton's tale Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, where the talented girl created the image of arrogant athletes Violet.

But the real popularity came to AnnaSophia when in 2007 the dramatic film Bridge to Terabithia was released. The film is based on the book under the same name by Katherine Paterson. It is interesting that Robb was rejected at the preliminary casting, as according to director Gabor Csupo, she was too cute for the "tomboyish" Leslie Burke. But the girl returned again and showed a deep understanding of her character’s personality, thus, she got a coveted role.

There are several songs in the film, including "Keep Your Mind Wide Open" performed by AnnaSophia Robb. The video of the song was shot, and the single even hit the top 100 according to the authoritative Billboard edition.

The drama Have Dreams, Will Travel, which was even included in the Cannes festival, the comedy-drama film Spy School and the fantastic film Race To Witch Mountain were successfully received by viewers.
