Article for Sofia.

Have you heard of Sofia Vassilieva yet? You will. She's one of the breakout stars of the summer.

Sofia Vassilieva is a freak of nature. Most child actresses are, but in her case that's meant as a compliment. What other teenage girl would shave her head for a job? Dakota Fanning wouldn't—and we know that because she reportedly lost the role of a cancer-stricken teenager in My Sister's Keeper after director Nick Cassavetes (The Notebook) demanded that she go bald for the part. He then auditioned Vassilieva, who was more than happy to make the sacrifice. On Valentine's Day, Vassilieva marched right into a salon and had her waist-length brown locks chopped off. She even saved the hair, so it could be made into a wig for her other day job, playing Ariel Dubois on the TV drama Medium. Wasn't she scared? Let's forget about the career thing—Vassilieva is still dealing with the harshest critics of all: high-school girls. "Of course, of course, your hair is so much of who you are," says Vassilieva, who is 16 and about to enter her senior year. "There was concern about whether my head was going to be round or lumpy. Up until the point I shaved it, I was hysterical."

Now it's your turn to cry. My Sister's Keeper is the biggest sobfest of the summer (and that's meant as a compliment too, kinda). Based on Jodi Picoult's bestselling novel, it's about a young girl named Kate (Vassilieva) who is diagnosed with leukemia, so her parents (Cameron Diaz and Jason Patric) decide to have a second daughter, Anna (Abigail Breslin), to serve as an organ donor and save her big sister's life. The premise is straight out of a Lifetime TV movie, and the screenplay—with its multiple voice-overs and courtroom scenes—hardly does it any favors. And yet, I'm almost embarrassed to admit this out loud: I was entirely sucked in. Onscreen, Vassilieva is like a mini Meryl Streep projected on Katherine Heigl's cherubic face, and her performance is about the most gut-wrenching thing you can imagine from a popcorn summer movie. "She is so wonderful," says Diaz. "I think about it and it gives me chills."

Sofia's performance was outstanding, I'm still a little speechless. Abigail was great too. I thought they were the stars of the film... But then, I'm still grumbling over the fact Cameron thinks it's cool to teach Abigail to swear. I mean if Abigail doesn't want to swear, what's the problem? Anyway back to the film, i've spoiler-tagged because I realise most won't have seen it yet.

Spoiler:
the ending disappointed me having read the book. Someone cracked up and have to admit I had to supress the giggles for that moment too. They best give Ariel her first boyfriend now!!
Weeped a lot, take lots of tissues.

Sofia was so amazing in MSK! She was definitely the best thing in the movie IMO

Come on, Medium. Give Ariel a real boyfriend and not the "guy she likes for the episode" stuff.

I think they have to, or at least give her the chance to get dressed up again! It was so nicely done in the film, I thought.

Just imagine Bridgette teasing and Joe being, well, Joe!

Let's hope they do!

The big revelation here, however, is Vassilieva; I’ve never watched her on “Medium,” but her performance here is a knockout. It’s a crisply unsentimental turn that slowly but surely becomes the movie’s emotional anchor.

That's from when she was doing the MTV interview the other week. I personally wouldn't be able to stand all the cameras, good on her for handling it like a trooper!

Sofia features in the CBS Medium Fall Preview. I like her dress and hair. A few of the past episode clips they show feature Sofia so I guess it's revelent enough to post!



There's more at the Medium thread as Sofia was attending the CBS TCA party.
