"An only child to divorced parents, Chlumsky was now both daughter and provider, and the pressure for her to retain roles after My Girl 2 came out in 1994 collapsed into frustration as she reached puberty. Hopping from dermatologist to dermatologist in pursuit of a magical skin treatment, she was directed to work out on her lunch breaks to offset any weight gain."

Not the happiest sounding circumstances...
"When Matilda actress Mara Wilson penned a 2021 New York Times essay in response to the news of Britney Spears’s conservatorship battle, called 'The Lies Hollywood Tells About Little Girls,' Chlumsky read the whole thing in one sitting. 'I was shaking, shaking, reading that in public,' she says. 'Cause [it felt like] there were [words] ripped, exactly, from my mouth. Like the words that she would tell people to get them to go away? Same words as mine. It was crazy.' Chlumsky reached out to Wilson, and the two now converse on occasion."
