Remember the adorable Anna Chlumsky who tore out your heart in the movie "My Girl"? Remember? "Where are his glasses? He can't see without his glasses!" Well the little darling is all grown up and want to come back to acting!
A now 28 year old Anna told CNN.com "There were a lot of signs being thrown at me a lot of angels I was meeting, inspiring me to get back into show business." Then in a true Hollywood moment, by proxy of Brooklyn, her manicurist introduced her to Roberta Flack.
"I was so embarrassed," she says. "Oh my God, it's Roberta Flack, and her feet are in the pedicure bowl! To my absolute surprise, she knew who I was she asked me what I was doing now. I said, 'I left show business, I'm not doing it anymore.' And she just looked at me, kind of like how my dad looks at me, like I-know-better, uh huhhhh. And she was like, 'You keep going, you keep doing it.'" Chlumsky dove into acting classes in Brooklyn, where she has lived for the past seven years, and soon found work on stage. "I haven't looked back," she says.
Chlumsky will appear in the romantic comedy The Good Guy with Alexis Bledel later this year.
