Kiernan Shipka's biography

Among the new generation of stars, one shines especially bright: Kiernan Shipka, dubbed the "golden child of television." She's talented, intelligent, and incredibly ambitious, but she doesn't suffer from narcissism or get caught up in scandal—instead, she pours all her energy into developing her craft. Most viewers know her as Sally from "Mad Men," though her starring role in the "Sabrina" reboot has also captured attention. Net worth: $4 million.

Early years

Kiernan Brennan Shipka was born on November 10, 1999, in Chicago, in the family of real estate agent John Young Shipka and his wife Erin Ann. Her parents immediately recognized their only daughter's exceptional creative abilities and began nurturing her passion for music and dance. Little Kiernan appeared in commercials, worked as a model, and showcased children's clothing in various publications.

The parents made the right call when they moved to Los Angeles in 2005—producers quickly took notice of the young talent. After appearing in several smaller projects, Kiernan landed the role of Sally Draper in the acclaimed drama "Mad Men."

The series launched in 2007 and immediately won over viewers with its compelling portrayal of an advertising agency director and his team.

Playing Sally, the main character's daughter, Kiernan literally grew up with her role, and from the very first season, billboards and magazines started calling her "The Golden Child of Television."
When I started acting in the «Mad Men» I was 7. My parents forbade me to watch the series which I starred in! So when the shooting of the last season was over, I made myself the «Mad Men» marathon.
The media buzzed about the young star, focusing on her "lucky break" while seemingly overlooking the hard work, incredible endurance, and raw talent that actually fueled her success. Kiernan rehearsed extensively and gave her all on set, while never neglecting her studies, training, or ballet classes.

In "Mad Men's" sixth and seventh seasons, she transformed what was initially a small role as Don Draper's daughter into nearly an independent storyline. Critics rightfully praised Shipka's performance.

For playing the role of Sally the actress received her first awards - the Screen Actors Guild Award and the Young Hollywood Award.

Further career

While filming «Mad Men», Kiernan Shipka took on other acting roles. Her most significant roles during this period included «Carriers», «House Broken», «Smooch», and «Flowers in the Attic», where she worked alongside Danny DeVito, Heather Graham, Chris Payne, and Ellen Burstyn.

Kiernan completed her education through external studies at 14. She studied through a special program that didn't include summer breaks. Due to her busy filming schedule, she stayed connected with her teachers online.

According to Zoomboola.com, in 2015 Kiernan starred in the drama «One & Two» and thriller «The Blackcoat's Daughter».

A dark, atmospheric tale of loneliness and human despair, «The Blackcoat's Daughter» marked the screenwriting and directorial debut of Oz Perkins, son of the legendary Anthony Perkins. The film proved imaginative, original, and stellar, with Emma Roberts, Lucy Boynton, and Lauren Holly joining Kiernan in the cast. Critics widely praised Kiernan as the most convincing of the young actresses in the film, highlighting her tremendous potential as a dramatic performer.

Late in 2017, fans received exciting news when Netflix officially announced the upcoming remake of the witch series Sabrina. Kiernan Shipka played the lead role in the «Chilling Adventures of Sabrina». Ross Lynch joined the project alongside Kiernan.

The creators of the hit teen series «Riverdale» developed the remake, with the new «Sabrina» set in a city neighboring Riverdale. Unlike the original «Sabrina the Teenage Witch» series starring Melissa Joan Hart, this remake abandons the comedy format and targets mature audiences. The focus shifts to Sabrina's deeper understanding of her witchy nature. Viewers can expect episodes featuring black magic, evil spirits, and murder. One downside – fan-favorite Salem, Sabrina's talking cat, is absent from the new version.

She takes ballet classes four times a week and sports twice weekly (she earned a black belt in taekwondo at 13). In her free time, Kiernan hangs out with friends and loves walking her dog. Shepherd Frankie even has her own and very popular Instagram account, which the owner has created for her.
Fashion bloggers are always fascinated by her outfits, carefully curated looks with thoughtful accessories, and signature 60s-inspired hairstyles. Many assume Kiernan works with a team of stylists, but that's not the case - she's genuinely passionate about fashion and has natural style instincts. Kiernan also gravitates toward emerging designers and quirky, whimsical, doll-like looks.
