As a new adaptation of 'The Baby-Sitters Club' hits Netflix, meet the five new actors who are bringing the characters from the beloved book series to life.
With “GLOW,” “Broad City” and “The Baby-Sitters Club” books to their credit, the women behind Netflix’s adaptation are bringing it to a new generation.The 10-episode first season is available to stream Friday on Netflix. Before going down the sherbet-hued rabbit hole, meet the five young actresses who are updating the Stoneybrook world for a new generation.Sophie Grace stars in Netflix’s adaptation of Ann M. Martin’s “The Baby-Sitters Club.
That Grace would go on to be cast as Kristy Thomas, the athletic, slightly overbearing founder and president of the babysitter club, isn’t surprising to people who know her, she says with a laugh.“We have a very, very similar personality; everyone reminds me of that,” she says, though she adds that she likes art and is into fashion, even sometimes sewing her own clothes.
Grace says she hopes to star in a comedy with Jennifer Aniston one day. But she tends to think about her acting work in grander terms: “I just want to be able to inspire people and cause any sort of change and good in the world that I can.” Born in Botswana and raised in Vancouver, Baker had an early introduction to Hollywood through her father, who works in the film industry as a first assistant director and a second assistant director. In fact, she wrote him an eight-page letter to explain why she wanted to become an actress in hopes that she could begin her journey in earnest.
A fourth grade reading assignment introduced Momona Tamada to “The Baby-Sitters Club.” And Claudia Kishi, a Japanese American middle schooler who is the artistic and fashion-forward babysitter of the group, became a key reason Tamada kept coming back. “I’m not sure what the future holds for me,” she says. “But I would love to be a part of creating diversity and inclusivity in film and try different genres of acting. I’m always up for a challenge.”
“I knew I had a lot of responsibility playing Stacey,” says Rudolph, 14, who was introduced to “The Baby-Sitters Club” in the first grade through its graphic novels adaptation. “I asked the people I talked to what it feels like when blood sugar is dropping and what they can and can’t do without insulin pump. I want it to be empowering to younger kids when they see Stacey is still so loved and accepted by her friends even though she has this thing she is self-conscious about.
Xochitl Gomez had known about “The Baby-Sitters Club” as a kid, seeing its covers splayed out at school book fairs. But it wasn’t until she landed an audition for the series that she hunkered down with some copies — that is, after her mom scoured eBay and did rush shipments on as many books in the series as possible.
