It takes a special kind of actor to make the transition from child star to adult star, so we guess that makes Gaby Hoffman special. You might have seen her on TV recently and not connected her to her childhood roles because she looks so different, but the woman you see playing Ali in "Transparent" is the same girl who lit up the big screen as a child in "Field of Dreams" with Kevin Costner.
Gaby seems to have had a stellar list of credits without ever really getting the recognition that she deserves for it. She's also had major roles in "Uncle Buck", "Volcano" and "Sleepless in Seattle", winning awards for her talents in the process. She's from a famous family, with both of her parents having enjoyed fame. Still only in her mid-30s, it's to be hoped that someday soon Gaby will get the recognition that her talent merits!
