Anna Baryshnikov
[3] As a young girl, she took beginner's ballet classes but decided she was unsuited to it, as she was too hyperactive and talkative when she was supposed to be focused at the barre.[3] Baryshnikov began acting at age 6 in a children's theater production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, portraying Peaseblossom, a handmaiden to fairy queen Titania.[5] Baryshnikov's most prominent role to date was in the 2016 critically acclaimed drama Manchester by the Sea, alongside Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams.[3] She practiced her character's Boston accent by working with a dialect coach and going to Boston-area malls to hear how local teenage girls spoke.[4] Baryshnikov starred as grad student Maya in the CBS series Superior Donuts, based on the play of the same name by Tracy Letts.
