The Secret Language of Birthdays

Happy sweet 16 Abilgail Breslin! This child star’s Secret Language Name is “Compassionate Tradition.” She’s come a long way from the role that made her famous: Little Miss Sunshine, when she played a quirky “super-freak” of a little girl in a dysfunctional family. Born in the Month of the Dynamo, this pint-sized actress exploded to the top of every producer’s gotta-have-her list. The role she’s played that means the most to her is actually on Broadway. She played Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker, and she says Helen Keller is her biggest role model.
