My Take
Abigail Breslin earned an Oscar nomination at ten for Little Miss Sunshine, and what impresses me most is everything that came after. Child stardom is a famously cruel machine, yet she navigated it without flaming out, moving into adult roles with a workmanlike steadiness I admire more than precocity. There is a New York bluntness to her public persona, unfiltered and a little defiant, that suggests the fearlessness of Olive's dance never left her. I think her best work may still be ahead; performers who survive early fame with their personality intact tend to grow into the most interesting careers, and she is well on that path.
