Confession time:  I recently caught an airing of My Girl on TBS and bawled my eyes out — again — some 19 years after first doing the same thing in a rundown suburban shopping mall theater in the outskirts of Toronto. It’s safe to say the characters — and the cast — still hold up to this day. But while Macaulay Culkin has bounced back from his post-Home Alone exile to appear in a number of well-received films and become somewhat of an indie acting icon, Anna Chlumsky’s whereabouts have been more of a mystery. Well I’m proud to announce that the mystery has been solved.

We caught up with Chlumsky in New York a few months ago, where she’s been busy auditioning for television roles, while also performing in a number of local Off-Broadway stage productions. At 30, she’s married, living in Brooklyn and enjoying her relative anonymity, but also ready, it seems, for a return to acting. She’s older, wiser and more motivated than ever to pursue the craft she’s always loved with a new vigor — and outlook. Make sure to pick up our next issue of Corduroy to read all about Chlumsky’s “comeback plans,” and to see the beautiful images from our rooftop photoshoot in the Lower East Side. In the meantime, here are a couple behind-the-scenes pics. Enjoy!
