Where better to start with than with Anna Chlumsky herself? Portraying main character Vada Sultenfuss in both "My Girl" and its sequel, she was the star of the show and has continued acting as she moves through adulthood — from 2012 to 2019 she played Amy Brookheimer in HBO's "Veep", and has received six Emmy nominations for her supporting role.
She starred in a handful of movies and shows as a tween and teen during the '90s, but took a break from acting in the late '90s to focus on college — Chlumsky attended the University of Chicago and graduated in 2002 with a BA in international studies (via CNN). However, she decided to return to acting a few years after finishing school (via The Daily Beast), making a few guest appearances in the likes of "30 Rock" and "Law & Order" before landing her role as Brookheimer in "Veep" (via IMDb).
Away from work, Chlumsky got engaged to Shaun So, a member of the Army Reserve she'd met in college, in 2007. The pair then got married in 2008, and have two daughters together. The first was born in July 2013, and the second was born in August 2016 (via People).
