10 year old Sarah Polley reveals plans to win Wimbledon, 1989

What is your point ???

I used to watch the Avon Lea show when I was 10. It was a great series. Sarah Polley was my favorite actress from the series. Mature kid

This is adorable! We used to watch and play make believe Road to Avonlea when I was a kid. My mom says I looked like her as a kid. Such a well-spoken 10yr old!

This is great thanks for posting this! Amazed at how mature Sarah is as a 10 year old. She has certainly come a long way since then. From starring in movies in television, to creating her own movies and tv series. The CBC Archives are amazing, and an excellent source of television and media history. Please keep them coming!

its kind of weird that the interviewer resembles sarah as she looks today.

she is very talented, I would like to her to be famous.

She looks adorable~~! very cute~

what a mature, well spoken little girl :)

Ramona!

I LOVE YOU SARAH 💔😔

Guess she changed her mind about acting. But I think we can forgive her considering what she went through right before this in Adventures of Baron von Munchausen. Frankly surprised she didnt quit right then and there.

the Canadian accent/pronouciation>english accent.

She lost her mother in another year.

she may look like a child, but her facial expressions clearly indicate that she's an adult

Awww Ramona ❤

Amazing. She never wanted to become a Hollywood Star and moved on to directing and many other things. Even back then she knew what she wasn't. Kids can learn from her!

For me she kind of looks like Princess Diana

Having never seen/heard Ms Polley as a child til now, I must say this is exactly how I imagined she'd be: Smart composed witty and Sweet.
Luv all her films. She is fathoms deep and it is what makes her Unique 💕💕💕

Such a nice interviewer

She is so cute!

She wrote an article in the guardian recently on how much trauma filming the Baron Munchausen film was to her and how Terry Gilliam wouldn't take responsibility.

Here after The Guardian article she wrote yesterday. Horrifying.

I'm glad she didn't do that Farrah movie. Saw it and yes not good.

It’s amazing how her personality in essence hasn’t changed that much. Shows that she’s a pretty authentic person.

She played Ramona Quimby - don't anybody forget this!
Since she's blonde, I guess coloring her hair brown gave it a red tint.

A mature, thoughtful, confident 10 year old. And she was not desperate to be acting later nor was she desperate for fame. Which gave her the freedom to go to a Harvey Weinstein "business date" with her agent in tow (I think both knew about his reputation, her agent insisted on not letting her go alone). He made her an "offer" - since there was a witness it was a bit more indirect than usual. She declined. By then she already knew she wanted to direct films. Although she is a talented actress.

The thing I remember her most for is playing Ramona.

Who knew at that time that this little girl would grow into such a smart, confident and graceful lady..

Josh Homme

I think the project she rejected was about Diane downs

Wow oh my good very very nice angel the sarah polley child😳😮😮😮😮

Wath is nice??!!!
