Young star shines at the Palm Beach Film Festival
The 14th Palm Beach International Film Festival gala brought a slew of well-known actors to the Boca Raton Resort Friday night, including up-and-coming teen actress AnnaSophia Robb.

AnnaSophia Robb
In a festival that prides itself in being unpretentious, the golden-haired 15-year-old star of Bridge To Terabithia and Race to Witch Mountain shined as the anti-Hollywood starlet.
When asked how long she’d be in town, Robb matter-of-factly said she’s leaving Sunday night so she can make her high school classes in Denver Monday.
Hear that, Tara Reid, Lindsay Lohan and Michelle Rodriguez? This young ‘un, who already has worked with the likes of Jeff Daniels (Because of Winn-Dixie), Johnny Depp (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and Dwayne Johnson (Witch Mountain) actually has her feet firmly planted on mother earth.
“It’s probably because I have a great family and I’m well surrounded,” Robb told me. “My parents are both here and one of them is always with me whenever I travel. And then my love for acting keeps me in line, too.”
