My Favorite Scene: Abigail Breslin

The 10-year-old has guest-starred on a number of TV shows, including Grey's Anatomy, but her most memorable onscreen moment is from awards favorite Little Miss Sunshine. ''The dinner scene when I find out that I'm going to the beauty pageant,'' declares Breslin, who plays the gap-toothed, precocious Olive Hoover. ''I got to scream in it — that was pretty fun, screaming at the top of my lungs.'' And does the native New Yorker have particularly piercing pipes? ''Yeah, I do,'' she adds with a giggle. ''The sound department was like, 'Can you tell us when she's going to scream so we can cover our ears?'''
