Interestingly, when the show first premiered on Netflix, she was just about to celebrate her second birthday—making her rise to fame all the more remarkable. Her journey into the spotlight began early, thanks to her role as the clever and resilient Sunny Baudelaire. Behind the scenes, she’s supported by a loving family; her father, Mike Smith, has been a steady presence, while her mother, Paige Lindquist, is also an actress, possibly passing down some of that natural talent. As fans followed Sunny Baudelaire’s adventures, they couldn’t help but root for the young actress bringing her to life. And even now, as she grows, people continue to admire her early start in such a beloved series. The name keeps coming up in conversations about child stars who made a big impact—Sunny Baudelaire may be fictional, but the actress behind her? Absolutely real, and definitely one to watch.
Back in January 2017, Glamour highlighted her as a true scene stealer in one of their online features, praising her standout presence. Following that moment, she caught the attention of industry insiders and eventually earned representation from PLAY Management Inc., marking a significant step forward in her career. It was clear that her talent didn’t go unnoticed, and with each opportunity, she continued to build momentum. She definitely proved that staying authentic and working hard can open the right doors at the right time.
