Shipka began doing commercial print modeling when she was a baby.[1] 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.[5]
Shipka has received praise for her performance on Mad Men. In naming her as his dream nominee for the "Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series" Emmy Award, Austin, Texas American-Statesman critic Dale Roe remarked, "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."[6] Initially a recurring guest star, Shipka was upgraded to a series regular with the start of season four.[2] She got the part after two auditions.[7]
Shipka's credits after Mad Men include Flowers in the Attic as Cathy and Kat in the 2015 Oz Perkins horror film, February.[8]
In 2014, Shipka was named one of "The 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014" by Time magazine.[9]
Personal life
Shipka names Grace Kelly as an inspiration.[10] Shipka has taken Muay Thai boxing classes.[11]
