Emily Hope Schulman (born August 17, 1977 in Los Angeles, California) is a former child actress and current commercial agent. She is perhaps best remembered as next-door neighbor Harriet Brindle on the sitcom Small Wonder, which ran from 1985 to 1989.

Early life

Emily began appearing before the cameras at the age of two. Her talents were soon apparent to commercial advertisers, and her freckle-splashed grin was captured in a host of spots that included McDonald's, Mattel, Quaker Oats, Pepsi, etc.

Career

In 1984, at the age of 6, Emily was cast in the role of the spunky redhead Harriet on the pilot for Small Wonder. The show ran for four seasons and 96 episodes. Emily's childhood work, though often later lampooned for its perceived kitsch, was acclaimed by her contemporaries: she twice won Youth in Film awards [1] and was nominated for the peer honor three other times. Additional television credits include Finders Keepers, Hotel, Mr. Belvedere, ALF and The Wonder Years. Her last acting appearance was on the television series Christy,(with her Troop Beverly Hills co-star Kellie Martin) in which she played Ruby Mae Morrison. Emily also starred in the 1989 films Troop Beverly Hills and Caddie Woodlawn.

At 17, Emily began a career shift away from the cameras. Accumulating experience while working at talent agencies in both New York and Los Angeles, she quickly became a highly respected figure in the commercial industry. In 2008,after 13 years as the head of Acme Talent & Literary's Commercial Division, Emily relocated her department to its current home at Talentworks.[2]

Schulman married Derek Webster in 2002. They have two young daughters, Lasarina & Maev.[3]
