How fast other people's children grow up. It would seem that the “Little Miss Sunshine” who charmed her way into the hearts of millions of fans around the world, Abigail Kathleen Breslin, receiving many awards including Oscar, is now a beautiful young lady ready to take Hollywood by storm. Until the beginning of 2019, Abigail Breslin played many significant roles behind her.

Early life

Abigail Breslin was born on April 14, 1996 in New York City to Kim and Michael Breslin. Their only daughter was named after Abigail Adams, the second First Lady of the United States. Her paternal grandfather was an Irish immigrant, and her paternal grandmother was born in New York, to Austrian Jewish parents.

Following in the steps of her elder brothers Ryan and Spencer, who were also actors, Breslin's career began at the age of three when she appeared in a Toys “R” Us 30 seconds commercial. Later, she performed with her brother Spencer in the film Raising Helen. It was her mother Kim, who helped the actress to gain success.

“She taught me from a very, very, very young age how to take a stand for myself and not feel that my own opinion has no value. “Always say what you think”, - she said.”

By Abigail's words, the parents put the most efforts to give her excellent education and to endow with confidence for acting and the right motivation.

The celebrity remembered her juvenile, that periodof time was not easy for her – it was important what people said and thought about her, and Abigail had to fight with her aw-shucks demeanor. Later, the actress was inspired by co-joint project Always and Walmart. With Always and Girl Scouts Breslin participated in promotional action supporting the girls from public schools.

Movies

Breslin made her first feature film debut in the science fiction thriller Signs, garnered mostly positive reviews from the critics and public. According to her recollections, it was one of the coolest projects, and its director was very personable at the shootings, wondering if she was scared in a particular scene.

But it was her enchanting turn as beauty pageant wannabe Olive Hoover in 2006's offbeat, low budget comedy Little Miss Sunshine that marked Abigail Breslin out. The girl was just ten years old at that time, but the maturity with which she played the role earned her many awards and nominations.

Breslin also short-listed for an Academy Award in the best-supporting actress category, becoming the fourth youngest Oscar nominee, and she was the youngest person on Forbes' 2007 list of Young Hollywood's Top-Earning Stars.

“I was diagnosed with PTSD (Posttraumatic stress disorder) a year and a half ago. I have made a lot of progress since the event occurred, but I will not pretend it is not something I struggle with. I still have flashbacks, I still get nightmares, I still jump when somebody touches me unexpectedly, even if it's my best friend tapping me on the shoulder.”

Abigail now has a romantic relationship with Ira Kunyansky, according to her cute photos with her boyfriend on Instagram. There are no facts about their marriage yet.
