Born July 30, 1999, American actress Joey King was born to act! Talent runs in the family, and her two older sisters, Hunter and Kelli King have also found success in Hollywood! Inspired by her sisters and her live theater performing grandmother, Joey would begin her acting career at the young age of 4!
Her very first performance would be in a Life Cereal commercial and her first big film debut would come in 2007 in drama Reign Over Me. Joey won over the hearts of directors with her talent and charming personality and would really begin to rise to fame with her 2010 performance in the popular Beverly Cleary film adaptation Ramona and Beezus!
Joey King would continue to add to her already impressive resume with films like Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011), The Dark Knight Rises (2012), Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), and The Conjuring (2013).
