90后美少女星光熠熠之阿比盖尔•布兰斯林

Beauty pageants¹ are rather usual these days. What kind of girl do you think is a beauty? One with physical attraction or talents? Today we will encounter a little beauty who took part in Little Miss Sunshine with a spare tire around her waist. Maybe you have figured it out. Yes, she is Abigail Breslin.

 

If you watched her movie Little Miss Sunshine, you will be impressed and moved by this little girl. She was the angle and encouraged her family in the hardship. Though she made a huge joke in the beauty contest, but she united the whole family and brought hope into everyone’s heart. For the excellent acting², she was nominated in the Academy Awards.

 

She was the fourth youngest actor to receive this honor in the Oscar history. But she didn’t get the award at the young age of 10. Some said it’s good for her, especially Alan Arkin who played as her grandfather in Little Miss Sunshine for he regarded it as a chance to improve; otherwise she may become too proud and ruined herself。.

 

She is never that cute doll like Shirley Temple. Breslin is always that quiet and behaves rather serious as if she were rather nervous. In that film, her natural acting with her big glasses added kind of warm sunshine to the story. Her innocence³ is a special style which is rather good for comedy acting.

 

Breslin began her acting at three. Her debut⁴ film Signs in 2002 has already won the heart of the audience. In many aspects, she maintains her nature. She likes Chinese food; elephants are her favorite animals. She once said she would probably become a vet⁵ if she didn’t act. But she is afraid of blood as most of young girls.

 

She is now 15. She would grow old and grow higher. Will the future Breslin still smiles like sunshine and behaves that cute? Her new film New Year’s Eve would be on December 9 this year. At that time we can check if she still as sweet as she was in Little Miss Sunshine.
