Cara Buono

While a career in the entertainment industry can start at any point in one’s life, it’s no surprise that many of our favorite stars began their journeys at quite a young age – perhaps without them even knowing it. Well, for Cara Buono, she got her debut acting gig when she was twelve years old, performing in the stage production for Spookhouse, made by the award-winning playwright Harvey Fierstein. Quite the introduction to the acting scene, for sure.

A few years later, Buono fully committed to an acting career. Along with performing on stage, she landed her first big-screen credit in 1992’s Waterland. Followed by stints in indie projects, Buono has since become best known for starring in the drama series Mad Men. Other titles worth noting include The Sopranos, Let Me In, and, more recently, Stranger Things and Supergirl. Suffice to say, this actress still has plenty of tricks hidden beneath her sleeves.
