My Take
Meredith Salenger fascinates me because she refused to be defined by early fame. A Malibu kid who carried The Journey of Natty Gann as its title character, she then did something most child stars never attempt: she went to Harvard. That choice tells me everything about her priorities, and I think it's why she has aged so gracefully in the industry rather than burning out. She is not chasing the spotlight, and that's exactly what makes her endure, now finding fresh life as a voice actor. I admire performers who build a sustainable career on intelligence and self-awareness, and she clearly has both.
Overview
Meredith Salenger (born March 14, 1970) is an American actress. Her credits include the 1985 film The Journey of Natty Gann, as the title character, and the 1989 teen comedy Dream a Little Dream.
