pursue acting as a profession. Shortly afterwards, she won a

and television productions soon followed, including The Man
Who Sued God, in which she played the daughter of Billy

of scripts for which to submit video auditions. She was
phoned by the director of Lemony Snicket and asked to come
to LA for an audition, which won her the part.

She wanted to be a fashion designer when she was little, but
she was "discovered" as an actress at age 8 in a school
play.
She was scared she was going to get fired while filming
Lemony Snicket, because she'd be laughing at Jim Carrey so
much.

Street as a child.
She has a cat named Jasper and a dog named Roxy.
She needed to wear heels for her costume in Lemony Snicket
because Liam Aiken was much taller than she was. |
