Carmen Blanchard - Younger Sister of Rowan Blanchard, Timeline and Family

Carmen developed a knack for performing arts at an early age and attended many shows with her elder sister, Rowan, where both participated in singing, dancing and acts.

She later embarked into acting like her elder sister Rowan who she resembles very closely apart from her slightly lighter hair. She started with bit roles in television series like ‘Encounters’ and ‘American Horror Story’. She featured in the latter in its first season titled ‘American Horror Story: Murder House’ that aired on the FX television channel from October 5, 2011, to December 21, 2011. Produced by ‘20th Century Fox’, the season revolved around the family of the Harmon’s where Carmen essayed the role of young Violet, daughter of Dr. Ben Harmon and Vivien. The season not only garnered positive reviews from critics but also earned a basic recognition for Carmen. Her performance in the season caught attention of American actor and producer, Jeremy Piven, who went on to cast her in his short comedy movie ‘Jeremy Piven’s Beard’ that was written by Alex Richanbach and directed by Ian Pfaff. The film that released on March 28, 2013 in the US saw her starring opposite Jeremy Piven as his niece. The movie brought more accolades and appreciation for the nine-year-old Carmen.

More recently, she has been part of the 2017 American adventure film ‘A World Away’ directed by her father Mark Blanchard. The film gave her the opportunity to share screen space with her elder sister, Rowan, and younger brother, Shane, apart from other cast members like Nadine Velazquez, Mary Lynn Rajskub and David DeLuise. Carmen also featured in the video titled ‘Who I Am’.

On October 11, 2016, Carmen accompanied elder sister Rowan to the White House for celebrations of the ‘International Day of the Girl’. While Carmen enjoyed the celebrations there, Rowan and actress-model, Yara Shahidi, among others had major discussions on girl power with the then First Lady of America, Michelle Obama, at a special panel hosted by ‘Glamour’ magazine.
