Her face looks super familiar for a reason, guys.
When you look at Madeline Zima’s face, you may feel like you’ve seen it before.
That’s because you have. She was on the hit 90’s show “The Nanny.”
But since then, Zima has had a budding career as an adult actress, starring in a number of films and TV shows that have also achieved success.
So here are ENTITY’s five facts about Madeline Zima that will put this child star back on your radar.
If her face didn’t look familiar, then you probably didn’t have a good childhood. She got her acting start on the hit show “The Nanny,” playing Grace Sheffield, one of the children Fran Fine looked after.
However, when Zima looks back on her time at “The Nanny.” her memories aren’t necessarily the fondest. “They treated me more like a prop than like a human being,” The TV Page reports.
But if you loved The Nanny, then check out ENTITY’s article on Underrated ’90s TV Shows.
“The Nanny” isn’t the only thing that Zima has done. Although she had a great start on the show, she has continued to pick awesome roles as she’s grown up.
She has starred in hit shows like “Californication” and “Heroes.” Additionally, she has made guest appearances on “The Vampire Diaries” and “Royal Pains.” This girl sure knows how to pick ’em if we do say so ourselves.
This past year has been a big year for the actress. Not only does she have two movies in post-production for next year, but she also starred in one of Showtime’s biggest shows, the revival of “Twin Peaks.” What’s funny about this is that she didn’t even know she was auditioning for the show.
She was called in by the casting director, who she knew from a previous role. However, she didn’t know anything about the project. “Exactly, there was a different name and no script. There were rumors that it was “Twin Peaks,” but I never believed those anyway, because so much in Hollywood is hot air and b.s.,” she told Vulture.
Madeline isn’t the only one in her family that acts, however. Her two sisters, Yvonne and Vanessa Zika are also actresses.
Yvonne has starred in hit movies like “The Nice Guys” and is famous for her role on the hit soap opera “The Young and the Restless,” where she plays Daisy Carter Romalotti. Vanessa is known for her role in “The Baby-Sitters Club” as Rosie Wilder.
As if the above image didn’t make it obvious, Zima has a great bod going on. But we aren’t the only people who think so. In 2009, FHM honored her by listing her as one of the “Sexiest Women in the World.”
Even though we absolutely adored Zima on “The Nanny,” we’re proud of her for making the hard transition from child to adult actress. She’s picked some great films and TV shows since then, and we can’t wait to see Zima’s new roles in the coming year!
