Early life
editShipka was born in Chicago, Illinois, to John Young Shipka, a real estate developer, and Erin Ann Brennan.[4][5][6] Shipka started taking ballroom dancing classes at the age of five, and was still attending classes as of March 2012.[7] When she was six, her family relocated to Los Angeles, California to help with her acting career.[5]
Career

Shipka made her television debut at five months of age on the hospital drama ER.[8] She started commercial-print modeling when she was a baby.[4] After undertaking small television roles, her first major role was as Sally Draper, the daughter of main character Don Draper, on the 2007–2015 TV series Mad Men. She won the role after two auditions.[9] She was a recurring guest star for the show's first three seasons, then became a series regular in season four.[5]
As part of Mad Men's ensemble cast, she won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series in 2008 and 2009.[10] Shipka received praise for her performance on Mad Men. In 2010, Austin American-Statesman critic Dale Roe named her as his dream nominee for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series, writing, "This 10-year-old actress was so affecting as troubled Sally Draper last season that it seems odd that she's only just been upgraded to series regular. If Shipka's upcoming Mad Men work—struggling with the broken marriage of her parents and entering preteendom in the tumultuous 1960s—remains as amazing as it was in season three, this is a ballot wish that could come true next year."[11]
In 2014, Shipka was named one of "The 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014" by Time magazine.[12] That same year, IndieWire included her in their list of "20 Actors To Watch That Are Under 20".[13] Shipka starred in the 2014 Lifetime movie Flowers in the Attic, and co-starred (with Emma Roberts) in the 2015 Oz Perkins horror film The Blackcoat's Daughter.[14]
2016–present: Further work and streaming projects
editIn 2017, she portrayed B.D. Hyman, daughter of Bette Davis, in the FX television series Feud: Bette and Joan.

The show ran for three more parts, concluding on December 31, 2020, with a total of 36 episodes.[16] Shipka reprised the role in a sixth season episode of Riverdale, “Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Witching Hour(s)", aired on December 7, 2021.[17]
Shipka co-starred in the 2019 Christmas romantic comedy film directed by Luke Snellin, Let It Snow, based on the novel Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances.[18] Shooting began in February 2019.[19]
Shipka played a deaf teenager opposite Stanley Tucci in John R. Leonetti's horror film The Silence, based on the 2015 horror novel of the same name by Tim Lebbon.[20] Netflix released The Silence on April 10, 2019.[21] Shipka learned American Sign Language for the role. Leonetti praised her performance saying "She's acting alongside Stanley Tucci, and believe me, she's more than holding her own. It's been spellbinding watching her."[22]
In May 2021, Shipka was cast in the HBO political drama limited series White House Plumbers.[23] She played Bea Johnson, the daughter of two intellectually disabled parents, in the 2022 drama Wildflower.[24][25]
