“Because of Winn-Dixie” actress AnnaSophia Robb is perhaps best known for her role as the young Carry Bradshaw in The Carrie Diaries and the television miniseries Little Fires Everywhere. That said, it’s no surprise that she loves fashion and has a great sense of personal style.
AnnaSophia Robb was 11 years old when she made her film debut in the movie “Because of Winn-Dixie” in 2005. The movie is based on the novel of the same name by Kate DiCamillo that you can buy on Amazon.

Robb plays the role of Opal, a lonely girl who moves to a new town with her father. She befriends a stray dog named Winn-Dixie, and together they help Opal make new friends and find her place in the world.
It premiered at the USA Film Festival on January 26, 2005, when AnnaSophia Robb was 11. She turned 12 on December 8, 2005.
“Because of Winn-Dixie” was filmed in Louisiana from September 29, 2003, to December 16, 2003. AnnaSophia Robb was 9 for most of the filming and celebrated her 10th birthday on December 8, 2003.

During an interview with The Financial Diet, Jennette McCurdy disclosed that her mother had encouraged her to audition for the role of Opal.
However, a turn of events occurred when Jennette overheard her agent describing the desired qualities of the character. Producers were seeking an “ethereal beauty,” unfortunately, Jennette was referred to as “homely” instead.
Several talented actresses, including Taylor Momsen, Emily Osment, India Eisley, and Alyson Stoner, also auditioned for the role of Opal.
Elle Fanning, who portrayed Sweetie Pie Thomas, was five years old while filming Because of Winn-Dixie. She was six years old when the film premiered at the USA Film Festival on January 26, 2005.

The town of Napoleonville was chosen as the film’s setting because it closely resembled the fictional town of Naomi, Florida, where the novel is set.
Despite being filmed in Louisiana, the film “Because of Winn-Dixie” stays true to its original setting in Naomi, Florida, as depicted in the book. As a result, certain visual elements, such as the police car and uniform emblems, reflect the state of Florida rather than Louisiana.
A thoughtful approach ensured a harmonious connection between AnnaSophia Robb and the dogs on set. AnnaSophia was brought in early to familiarize herself with the dogs, allowing them to interact and share treats.
