Zoe Weizenbaum
Zoë Weizenbaum, born on September 21, 1991, in Seattle, Washington, is a talented American actress known for her work as a child performer. With a Jewish American mother and a Chinese father, she was raised in a culturally rich environment, growing up in Amherst, Massachusetts, from the age of two.
From an early age, Weizenbaum was passionate about African Dance and actively participated in local musical theatre, which paved the way for her acting career. Her big break came after a local production of "Peter Pan" caught the attention of casting directors, leading her to audition for the film "Missing in America." Following this debut, she secured notable roles in "12 and Holding," directed by Michael Cuesta, and "Memoirs of a Geisha," directed by Rob Marshall, showcasing her versatility and talent as a young actress.
Weizenbaum attended Amherst Regional High School for her freshman year before transferring back to Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter Public School, where she had studied previously. In addition to her acting pursuits, she is multilingual, having learned Mandarin through the Rosetta Stone program and intensive courses at Mount Holyoke College and Middlebury College's Summer Intensive Language Program. As of 2010, she began her studies in Japanese at Middlebury College. Notably, she is the granddaughter of the influential computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum.
