Despite being born on the 9^th of June, 1988, Mae Whitman has a film career that has spanned over 20 years. The beautiful actress started her career as a child actress and while most child actors usually fall by the wayside when they get older, Mae has grown into a successful career as an actress. The American actress has appeared in notable projects such as The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Perhaps an advantage of being born to a parent who is an active player in the entertainment industry, Mae Whitman’s acting career has seen her appear in multiple films and television shows without the dramatic fallout that is common among child stars.

Biography

Although she is a screen actress, she started her career as a voice actress. Her first work was a voice-over commercial for Tyson Chicken. Mae Whitman, who was born in Los Angeles, California to Jeffrey Whitman and Pat Musick, had her first acting gig when she was two years of age. Still unable to read at the time, her acting coach helped her memorize her lines.

At the age of six, she made her movie debut in When a Man Loves a Woman in 1994. She was picked out of 700 other potential candidates for the role of the youngest daughter in the movie. Her first 10 years as an actress saw her appear in a few more high-profile movies such as Independence Day and One Fine Day. In a career that would be heavily populated with TV appearances, she started with appearances in three episodes of the cult classic, Friends.

Despite early years filled with consistent acting, Mae still found time to have a childhood like everyone else, especially in education. She graduated from Whitefish Bay High School in Wisconsin and attended Ribet Academy in Los Angeles, California.

Just like her mother, Mae Whitman’s voice is admired in the voice-acting industry. She has lent her voice to the hit animated show, Avatar: The Last Airbender, voicing Katara of the water tribe. She’s also voiced Tinker Bell in Disney’s series of films about the fairytale. Her voice has also brought several characters to life in multiple video games such as EverQuest II, Avatar: The Last Airbender games, and most recently, Prey.

Due to her petite body size and voice, Mae Whitman has had the tendency of being typecast as a teenage girl and it is a role she’s played well into her late 20s.

As an actress, her filmography is heavily laden with television appearances with roles in shows like Arrested Development, Thief, Parenthood, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, and Family Guy as a voice actress. She currently voices Batgirl for the DC Superhero Girls.

Weight loss

Mae Whitman’s body was the butt of many fat jokes in Arrested Development and she also played the lead role in The DUFF, a movie about a ‘designated ugly fat friend’. However, the actress doesn’t have a weight problem even though she doesn’t fit into the slim body model type that is common around Hollywood. She currently has a listed weight of 58kg at a height of 5 feet 1 inch, meaning there is no need for her to lose weight.

Boyfriend

The DUFF star has a relationship history that includes Peter Krause, Landon Pigg, and Dov Tiefenbach. Despite a strong claim to fame from working on multiple popular projects, Mae has been able to keep her relationships fairly low-key with her current status considered to be single. Mae’s Fans thought that Miles Heizer is her boyfriend after their Instagram posts where they were together.
