Martha Plimpton

Martha Plimpton stands out as a rare example of a child star who successfully transitioned into a respected adult actress with critical acclaim in theater. Her journey from the set of The Goonies to winning an Emmy and receiving multiple Tony nominations demonstrates remarkable longevity and versatility. She is one of the few performers to maintain a consistent presence in film, television, and Broadway over four decades. Her win for The Good Wife and her recognition for Hedda Gabler highlight her ability to excel in both comedic and dramatic genres.
