Anna Chlumsky (born December 3, 1980) is an American actress. She is known for her childhood role in My Girl (1991) and its sequel (1994), as well as her supporting role in the HBO series Veep, for which she has received four consecutive nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. She has also starred in independent films such as Blood Car (2007) and In the Loop (2009).
Chlumsky was born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Nancy (née Zuncic), a singer, actress, and former flight attendant, and Frank Chlumsky, Jr., a chef and saxophone player. Her family is Roman Catholic of Czech and Croatian descent.
Chlumsky entered show business at an early age, modeling with her mother in an advertising campaign, though her roles in My Girl (1991) and My Girl 2 (1994) brought her fame. She also starred in Trading Mom (1994) alongside Sissy Spacek, as well as in Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain with Christina Ricci. In the mid to late 1990s, she appeared or starred in several television films and series.
Chlumsky attended the University of Chicago, graduating in 2002 with a BA in International Studies. After graduation she worked as a fact-checker for the Zagat Survey and served as an editorial assistant for a HarperCollins science fiction-fantasy imprint. She found this work unsatisfying and decided to return to acting. She went to the Atlantic Acting School in Manhattan to receive formal training.
