My Take
Anna Chlumsky won me over not as the child star of My Girl but as the woman who walked away from it. Stepping back from acting to study at the University of Chicago, then returning on her own terms, takes a self-possession most former child performers never find. That detour, I suspect, is exactly what gave her the dry, brittle precision she later brought to comedy and drama alike. There is real intelligence behind her timing, the sense of someone who chose this craft twice rather than being trapped by it. I find that kind of deliberate career far more compelling than uninterrupted fame.
