Early Career

Anna is a child actor hence she started her career in 1991 with the American drama series, My Girl. Then in 1994, she appeared in the sequel of My Girl 2. While she was in college in the year 1999, she took a halt from the entertainment industry until the year 2005.

From 2006, she was back in the Law & Order television series.

Military Boyfriend

Anna is a married woman now. She is married to her longtime girlfriend, Shaun So. He is a Chinese-American Army Reserve. She is one brave girl as her partner is in the military. The couple met at the University of Chicago in the year 2000 at a dance party.

She said,

“We’d met in 2000 at the University of Chicago at a rare dance party on the quad. We fell for each other quickly and knew we’d stay together after I graduated.”

When they were dating, he used to be posted in countries like Afghanistan for war. He was posted in Afghanistan from 2004 to 2006. While he was posted there, it was very difficult for them to communicate.

She shared,

“I’d finally gotten an email from my boyfriend, Shaun, with his mailing information. He’d been stationed in Afghanistan a month with the Army, and all I could do as Morale-Booster-in-Chief was answer the phone when he called, and encourage him to do his job.”

She would wish that Shaun would come back home in one piece. The couple maintained a long-distance relationship for three years. In 2006, when Shaun returned back from Afghanistan, Anna went airport to welcome him. When she saw him after so long, he didn’t look alike as he had facial hair. But she was very happy about the experience.

She said,

“I feel blessed that Shaun evaded major trauma—both physical and emotional.”

She also shared that she has learned a lot from their long-distance relationship,

“I learned I had the stuff to make it through tough times, and that kind of courage is indispensable. Over that year, we allowed ourselves to cry, to fear, to get nervous or jealous. If we hadn’t been honest about our feelings, our foundation would have been a shaky mess. But overall, that deployment was all about steadiness, courage, candor, and focus. And some major love, of course.”

“We were married in 2008 and gave birth to our baby girl last July. We named her Penelope.”
