Biography

Amy Kendra O'Neill was born to Tom O'Neill and his wife Ginny, she has quoted she had a "fantastic childhood". She was the fourth child in the family: Hugh, Barry, Katie, Amy, Casey. She is the niece of Hugh O'Neill, Esq, former Deputy Chief Counsel to The Secretary of the Navy, John Lehman. She first debut was as Young Ellen Harper in "Mama's Family". After that, she continued her acting in Television Series such as "Matt Houston", "Night Court", "The Twilight Zone", and "The Young and the Restless". Then she landed her big role in the 1989 comedy hit "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" and it's 1992 sequel "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid" as Amy Szalinski, the wacky inventor's beautiful daughter who gets shrunk in the backyard with her brother and the neighbor's boys. Before "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid" became a sequel to the original, it was just an independent film with characters to the original and so Amy's character didn't exist. When the script changed to the Szalinski family, there was no room for a big female role (besides the babysitter), so that's why her on-screen time was short. She continued acting in Television Movies until after "", she appeared in series and then post-poned the acting business. Since that she had just one appearance on TV again: In the 2005 made documentary "The 100 Greatest Family Movies" she and her "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" co-star Thomas Wilson Brown were interviewed about the movie.

She now lives in Hollywood, Alabama and is 1/3 of the circus trio "Girls on Stilts".
