Anna Chlumsky (born December 3, 1980) is an American actress best known for playing Vada Sultenfuss in the 1991 movie My Girl and the 1994 sequel My Girl 2.
Her father, Frank Chlumsky, is an instructor in the culinary program at Kendall College in Chicago. Her surname (pronounced kh-lum-skee) is Czech in origin. Chlumsky entered show business at an early age, modeling with her mother in an advertising campaign. Her roles in My Girl and My Girl 2 brought her fame.
She was in Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain with Christina Ricci, and screen tested for the part of Lex in Jurassic Park, which eventually went to Ariana Richards.
Columbia Pictures expressed serious interest in My Girl 3 (also known as Still My Girl) and a script has been in development since 2003, according to series costar Dan Aykroyd. Aykroyd revealed in media outlets that Columbia was attempting to sign Chlumsky for the role. However, Chlumsky has since stated that the film is not in development.
Chlumsky never intended acting to be her lifelong career. As a child she considered working with horses or in paleontology. Once she reached adulthood, roles became scarce and she began to move away from acting. She attended the University of Chicago, majoring in International Studies, and graduated with an AB in 2002. During this time she ceased paying dues to the Screen Actors Guild. After graduation she worked as a fact-checker for the Zagat Survey and served as an editorial assistant for a HarperCollins science fiction-fantasy imprint. She came to find this work dissatisfying and decided she wanted to return to acting. She went to the Atlantic Acting School in Manhattan to receive more formal training (in her youth she deemed herself "a natural", so had not had as much formal training[citation needed]) and now intends to remain an actor.
