Abigail Breslin is an American actress and singer best known for her breakout role in the science-fiction thriller Signs (2002).
Abigail Kathleen Breslin was born on April 14, 1996, in New York City. She is one of three children born to Michael Breslin, a telecommunications expert and computer programmer, and Kim Breslin, a talent manager. Named after Abigail Adams, the second First Lady of the United States, Breslin was drawn to acting and singing from a young age. She was homeschooled with support from her family, including her older brothers Ryan and Spencer Breslin, both of whom are also actors.
Abigail began her career in entertainment as a toddler, appearing in a Toys "R" Us commercial at the age of three. Her film debut came in the 2002 M. Night Shyamalan-directed thriller Signs, where she played Bo Hess, the daughter of Mel Gibson's character. Her performance earned critical praise and marked the beginning of a successful Hollywood career.
She continued to build her acting résumé with appearances in television shows such as What I Like About You, although her early TV roles received limited attention. Breslin gained widespread recognition with her performance in the independent film Little Miss Sunshine (2006), for which she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. At the time, she became one of the youngest actresses ever nominated in that category.
In 2009, she starred in the drama My Sister’s Keeper, playing the role of Anna Fitzgerald. Her work in the film earned her a Young Artist Award in 2010. Through the years, she appeared in other notable projects, including Zombieland (2009), its sequel Zombieland: Double Tap (2019), and guest roles on television series such as Ghost Whisperer.
Beyond acting, Breslin ventured into writing and music. In 2015, she published her first book, This May Sound Crazy, a collection of personal essays released through HarperCollins. The book explores her thoughts and experiences on teenage life, fame, and relationships.
As a singer, Breslin released her debut single, “Fight For Me,” in 2011. She has since released additional tracks including “Christmas in New York” and the widely discussed “You Suck,” a song that sparked speculation about its inspiration. Despite her musical efforts, acting has remained the primary focus of her career.
