Abigail Breslin

Abigail Breslin was only five years old when she made her film debut in M. Night Shyamalan's 2002 horror sci-fi movie Signs alongside Mel Gibson. Breslin played Bo Hess, Gibson's young daughter, whose habit of leaving glasses of water everywhere ends up securing her family's survival amidst an alien invasion. One year later, Breslin was cast as Olive in Little Miss Sunshine (2006).
