Mae Whitman

Mae Margaret Whitman, born on June 9, 1988, navigated Hollywood’s neon-lit paths from her earliest days, making her film debut at six in "When a Man Loves a Woman." Her precocious talent was honed in roles across television and cinema, including "One Fine Day," "Independence Day," and "Parenthood," where she earned critical acclaim and a Critics' Choice Television Award nomination. Transitioning to mature roles in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," Whitman solidified her range before landing her leading role in "The DUFF." Beyond the silver screen, her voice work in "Avatar: The Last Airbender," "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," and "The Owl House" has endeared her to new generations.
