Childhood
AnnaSophia Robb was born December 8th, 1993 in Denver Colorado. She was named after her maternal great grandmother, Anna Sophie, and her paternal grandma, Anna Marie. AnnaSophia is an only child.

From the time she was three, AnnaSophia knew she wanted to act. “I saw people on TV. I saw kids on TV, and I really wanted to act. And I loved performing in front of people. And I love being in front of people. I like seeing people so that is kind of what made me want to do it.”

AnnaSophia continues, “I found an agent. My mom did. When I was eight, I really wanted to get into acting. I had been begging my mom since the age of three, and she finally found me one. He picked me up. What I mean by “picked me up” is he signed me. And I started getting jobs, and they recommended acting classes. I took those and did them for three months. At the end of three months, two agents and one manager came out from L.A. Then an agent and a manager wanted me. About a month later, I went out to L.A. and started auditioning.”

Success came quickly for AnnaSophia. Her first acting jobs were in commercials for McDonalds and Bratz Dolls and a guest spot on the show ‘Drake and Josh’. From that point on, AnnaSophia’s acting career took off. She landed her first starring role in the television movie ‘Samantha: An American Girl Holiday’ when she was just 11.
