Who is Annabeth Gish?

Anne Elizabeth Gish is an American film and television actress. Starting her career on stage at an early age, she is a wunderkind who made the successful transition to playing mature roles as an adult. Her initial love for acting was nurtured at the community theatre scene in her hometown, and by the time she turned 11, she was already a professional model. Gish made her film debut in the 1986 drama ‘Desert Bloom’. Her strong show-stealing performance in the film put her career on the fast track. She followed it up by playing the female lead in ‘Hiding Out’, co-starring with Julia Roberts in the cult classic ‘Mystic Plaza’, and portraying the meek daughter of a senator in ‘Shag’. Gish appeared on television for the first time in 1994, in the CBS’ miniseries ‘Scarlett’. However, the leading roles eventually stopped coming her way and she had to reinvent herself. Over the following years, she re-established herself as one of most prominent character actresses in the industry, with an incredibly diverse filmography.
