television actress. She gained prominence in 2005 with starring roles in Because
of Winn-Dixie and
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. She is also known for Bridge to Terabithia ,

designer, and David Robb, an architect. She was named after her maternal
great-grandmother, Anna

was deferring acceptance due to filming commitments.
After appearing in a commercial for McDonald's, Robb made her acting debut in
2004; she had a small role in the episode "Number One Fan" of the television
series Drake & Josh
(her character informs Josh that the group only joined the Campfire Kids so they
could hang out with their friends and eat free food). Her first major role was
as the title character
in the television special Samantha: An American Girl Holiday. Her hair was dyed
dark brown for the part.
Robb's two big-screen appearances in 2005 were both adaptations of popular
children's books. She starred as Opal in Because of Winn-Dixie and as the
competitive and rude
gum-chewer Violet Beauregarde in Tim Burton's remake of Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory. The latter was a major box office success worldwide, and
helped escalate Robb's
popularity among preteen audiences. She became friends with many of her
co-stars, including Julia Winter and Missi Pyle (who played her on-screen
mother, Scarlett), and enjoyed
working with Johnny Depp. She requested that the scene of Violet hugging Wonka
in the factory's entrance hall be included in the film.
In 2005, Robb was the face of Trad Clothing, helping to design and model a
fashion line for girls. In 2006, she had a guest role on the cartoon show Danny

Mind Wide Open",
and the accompanying video received rotation on the Disney Channel. The song
appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 at #90 during the week of March 1, giving Robb
her first
charting single. Robb was a fan of the book before being cast in the role,
saying that it "touched me in a way I hadn't been touched by a book before."
 Robb went on to appear in The Reaping, Jumper in which she played the younger
version of Rachel Bilson's character Millie, Have Dreams, Will Travel and Spy
School. Robb's
performance in the film Sleepwalking garnered praise; Time film critic Richard
Schickel said, "There is a wonderful range to Robb's work...this is
extraordinarily mature acting from
someone this young and she wins our sympathy without once begging for it."

Generation � New Testament: Dramatized Audio Bible.
Robb starred alongside Dwayne Johnson in Race to Witch Mountain, which was
released in March 2009.
