[edit] Career
As part of Mad Men's ensemble cast, she won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series in 2008 and 2009.[1]
Shipka's individual performance on Mad Men has been well received. In naming her as his dream nominee for the "Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series" Emmy Award, Austin American-Statesman critic Dale Roe remarked, "This 10-year-old actress was so affecting as troubled Sally Draper last season that it seems odd that she's only just been upgraded to series regular. If Shipka's upcoming Mad Men work—struggling with the broken marriage of her parents and entering preteendom in the tumultuous 1960s—remains as amazing as it was in Season 3, this is a ballot wish that could come true next year."[2]
[edit] Personal life
She was born in Chicago, Illinois to John Young Shipka, a real estate developer, and his wife née Erin Ann Brennan, the president of a family-owned contracting business.[citation needed] She is a Roman Catholic of Ruthenian and Irish heritage.[citation needed] Some of Shipka's hobbies include golf and cooking. She enjoys watching Barefoot Contessa and Good Eats on the Food Network.[3]
