Willow Smith Films Her Acting Debut

EXCLUSIVE!

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith’s 6-year-old daughter, Willow, films scenes for her debut film on Monday on the Toronto set of the new American Girl movie, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl Mystery.

Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) will play the title character in the Depression-era flick. Other stars include: Julia Ormond, Chris O’Donnell, Joan Cusack, Wallace Shawn, Stanley Tucci, Jane Krakowski and Glenne Headly.

Via The Hollywood Reporter: “Kit Kittredge, the first theatrical adaptation of the popular American Girl line of dolls, tells the story of Kit Kittredge (Breslin), a clever, resourceful 10-year-old growing up in Cincinnati during the Great Depression who helps her mother (Ormond) run a boardinghouse when her father (O’Donnell) loses his job. Cusack will play a nurse who moves into the Kittredges’ boardinghouse. Thieriot will play a boy accused of committing robberies, while Shawn will play the editor in chief of the Cincinnati Reporter Register.”

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl Mystery is set for a nationwide July 2, 2008 release.

Willow’s big brother Jaden, who turns 9 next month, has also dipped his foot in acting. The little guy picked up the 2007 MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance for the 2006 hit The Pursuit of Happyness. Jaden did not attend the Los Angeles award ceremony. Since the whole family is in Toronto, he taped an acceptance speech with his parents, which they showed after his win.

Personally, I just think it’s kind of dumb that Jaden got this part in Happyness by auditioning, and proved himself fair and square, BUT To make things “fair” for their kids, Willow got this role with Will.

Jaden’s a natural but if Willow can’t act….then what do they say to her?

Nothing, they will say nothing Natasha. Havent you heard? All you have to do to get a job nowadays is have an already famous last name.

Btw, Jada could easily kick each one of our asses’ Im sure.

WHY IS EVERYONE MAKING SUCH A BIG DEAL OVER A CHILD AND HER NAME. SHE IS NAMED AFTER HER DAD(WILL) JUST LIKE HER BROTHER WAS NAMED AFTER HIS MOM JADA. BUT GET OVER IT. SHE IS JUST A KID. AT LEAST SHE WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE IF SHE CHOOSES TO STAY IN THE BUSINESS WHEN SHE GETS OLDER.

they got the name willow from will. they got the named jaden from jada. they wanted to incorporate their names into their childrens name.

Willow Reign Camille Smith is beautiful. The negative comments are a reflection of the ignorance that live within you ********. Did Charlize look beautiful in Monster or Halle in Jungle Fever. Think before you speak freaks. Oh yeah if your parents were in the business there is a chance that you would be too.

ewwwwww what an ugly kid…she looks like a cross between a black hound and a cow.

Actually, Will’s full name is Willard. lol But Willow looks dead on him.

She is dressed that way obviously for the movie, that’s why she look boyish…some people are just retarded.

she is such a beautiful young kid i exoected that because both her parents are gorgeous, will smith is still a knockout

o and the only reason she looks like a boy is necause of her clothing and hair which is a part of her costume….HELLO PEOPLE

leave the little girl alone. i think that Willow is a cute name for her since her father named her anyway. #1 And #2 lets see what u will name ur kid..

I think she is a beautiful little girl and her named is unique, so stop hating, and just watch and see what she can do, acting is in her blood, so let her do her thing she is only six,give the kid a break

first of all willow is from will and jaden is from jada they broke down the names

The only kind of person that would say somthing like that about a child has to be an evil person trust me your not worth it I think God bless them with beautiful talented children and sometimes people become jealous but one day god will show them that their just unhappy with themselves people that or happy dont talk about others

Some people are so ignorant. I believe it just pains them to see a black family do better then they are. So they have to make fun of something. Your probably mad that you didn’t think of sure a clever name for your children. Will and Jada have a wonderful and strong marriage so stop hattin.

mother is jada son is jaden father is will daughter is willow get it

she is beautiful. and her name is fine!!!! and she dosnt look like a boy, shes dressed that way because of her role in the Kitt Kittredge: An American Girl Mystery, film!! so shut uppp!!!! they are wonderful parents!!!

isn’t it thier familey so cute…but isn’t this cool?
will smith - willow smith
jada pickett smith - jaden smith

I think Will and Jada Smith are two of the greatest parents in show business. And as for as thier child’s name , it is unique as she is. Stop Hating. I love the Smith family.

For the people on here who have nothing better to do then make fun of a 7 years old name need to get a life. That little girl is going to be a movie stair like her father and make a s**t load of money.
Cam has it right she is a beaufiul little girl who is going to shock us all one day and become very famous.
