Not many kids tend to take home Academy Awards, but Anna Paquin managed to do it. In 1993 she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the age of just eleven, making her the second-youngest winner of all time (Tatum O'Neal was the youngest, at age ten). She won the award for her performance in The Piano, despite having very little experience in acting at the time. She was certainly off to a promising start!
Paquin has continued to achieve success in the entertainment industry. After a string of blockbuster movies as a child actor, including Fly Away Home, The Member of the Wedding, A Walk on the Moon, and Almost Famous, Paquin went on to star in the television series, True Blood as an adult. She also starred in the film, X-Men: Days of Future Past in 2014.
