Thora Birch
The young girl you see on the left picture holding a monkey is famous actress Thora Birch, who introduced herself to the world in the 1988 film Purple People Eater. Since then, Birch has been able to strengthen her acting portfolio, and during the ’90s, she appeared in numerous films like All I Want For Christmas and Hocus Pocus. However, it was her role in American Beauty, back in 1999, that earned her a spot in Hollywood’s most acclaimed young actors. Having also appeared in Ghost World and Dark Corners, Birch took a break from acting in 2012, but she made her comeback in 2016 in the TV show, Colony.
