Children who grew up in large families easily adapt to unfamiliar conditions. They easily make acquaintances and find friends for themselves. The biography of Sammy Hanratty is a clear illustration of this thesis.
Restless childhood
The future star of television series Sammy Hanratty was born on September 20, 1995 in a large American family. Parents at that time lived in a small town in western Arizona. My father worked for a ranch. The mother was engaged in housekeeping. The girl turned out to be the youngest of five sisters in the house. By that time, older sister Daniel had already achieved some success as an actress. Two years later, the head of the Hanratty family decided to leave the cotton plantations of his native state and move to the famous city of Los Angeles.
To a large extent, the reason for the change of place of residence was the persistent invitations of the eldest daughter. Danielle has managed to adapt to Hollywood and make some acquaintances with the producers. Not to say that she achieved impressive success, but shooting in commercials and episodic roles on television brought in a good income. Sammy Hanratty demonstrated vocal abilities from an early age. She loved to sing songs from children's cartoons. She danced well. She liked to have small shows in the evenings for her sisters and parents.
Fame came to Sammy at the age of six. One of the parents saw an advertisement in the newspaper for a casting for a commercial. The mother took the girl by the hand and brought her to the appointed place at the appointed time. From a dozen applicants, the producers chose the youngest Hanratty. The fact that advertising forms habits, tastes and behavior has long been widely accepted. Advertising messages are typeset with the target audience in mind. Chips and sodas are considered a favorite food for children and adolescents.
In the commercial, Sammy crunched the Pringles wheat and potato chips so deliciously that sales of the treat across the country doubled. The performer of the main one immediately received the nickname "Chips Girl". The size of the fee for the shooting pleasantly surprised the parents and sisters. But the most important thing was not about money. The girl, as they say, was taken on a pencil by the producers of advertising agencies. Just a week later, Sammy was invited to appear in the presentation of vegetable oil. She participated in this project already with knowledge of some of the rules and subtleties of the process, although she was still far from professionalism.
Professional activity
After successful filming in advertising, Sammy finally decided to become an actress. But in order to receive a specialized education, she had to graduate from high school. Meanwhile, she was invited to participate in various television projects. When the young performer was eleven years old, she starred in the sentimental drama Hello Sister, Goodbye to Life. The following season, Hanratty appeared on the screen in the crime series "All Tip-Top, or the Life of Zack and Cody." Here she convincingly appeared in the form of a girl.
Unbeknownst to herself, Sammy grew up and began to offer her roles in the appropriate age range. In 2007, she played in the TV series Doom, based on the Stephen King novel, the role of a teenage girl fighting a maniac. Then she appeared on the screen in a cameo role in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean". When Sammy was fifteen, she, together with her sister Danielle, did an excellent job in the action series Anti-Terror Squad. In this project, she demonstrated high professional qualities, which was noted by the observant experts.
Successes and achievements
Sammy was well aware that without proper theoretical training, it is impossible to stay on top of success. Despite the fact that the situation with the work was developing well, at the age of seventeen she enrolled in acting classes at the University of California. Since Hanratti was already a well-known performer, venerable teachers worked with her on an individual plan. The most interesting and useful for her were the “analyzes” of the roles she had already played. Much to her surprise, Sammy learned that it was possible to play any past role in a completely different way.
A significant stage in the career of the actress was the mystical TV series "Salem". Sammy convincingly presented to the audience the transformation of an ordinary girl into a witch. In the next psychological thriller, "How to Avoid Punishment for Murder," she played one of the main characters. For this role, she was nominated for the Association of American Actors Award for Best Actress. It should be noted that Hanratty never gave up episodic and secondary roles.
Hobbies and personal life
Sammy does not limit his life only to filming in films and on television. She is engaged in a wide range of creative activities. She composed and recorded her first song at the age of ten. With a large workload at the main place of work, she makes time and writes lyrics for her musical compositions. Over the course of three years, she has recorded more than a dozen singles, which are awaiting design in a thematic album.
The actress gives a lot of energy to charity work. Children with poliomyelitis gratefully accept her contribution. Sammy does not hide his personal life. She is not yet married, but is already preparing for the role of wife - mistress and mother. She is in a relationship with a young man, but does not disclose his name.
