AnnaSophia Robb was born on the 8th December 1993 in Denver, Colorado, USA, to Janet, an interior designer, and Dave Robb, an architect. She has Danish, English, Irish, Scottish, and Swedish ancestry.

Robb started off life with a dream to act, and began by performing on a church stage in her home town in front of 500 people when she was just 5 years old. She began taking various acting classes and courses at the age of 8, and was scouted at the age of 9 by an agency in Los Angeles. She drove down to LA with her mom, during the pilot season. 42 auditions later, AnnaSophia booked her first national commercial, advertising Bratz dolls.

Personal Quotes 

[on what she learned from filming her first movie] Well, Wayne Wang, the director, really helped me become a more mature actress. When I first started filming, I was really over the top. He just helped bring me down and make me real. That was really wonderful, a really wonderful experience. Also, what I learned about filming is it takes forever. I mean, there are so many different angles and shots. I mean, it just takes forever.
[on filming in a small town] Well, I'm kind of an urban girl. I like big cities. I like New York. I like London. I like L.A. I like people. I get lonely, really, really easily. But I think it was good. It was very different and I think that's good.
If you act weird, people are going to treat you weird, but if you're just yourself, people respond to that.
I think you can go to school at any age.
I think I was made to live in New York. I love it.
Everyone always says that guys are intimidated by me, but I seriously doubt it. I mean, I'm five-foot-nothing!
When you're a kid, you have these big ideas and these big dreams to make a change, or maybe you feel like you can't make a difference.
When I'm at home or at school, I'm casual and comfortable. I tend to wear work out clothes and lots of sweaters.
