Got her start in acting aged three when she impressed casting directors
by interrupting her mum's audition and proceeding to tell her off
because she was bored. The casting directors were so impressed with her
that one, to get a reaction, observed her white-and-purple outfit and
said, "My, what a pretty yellow dress you're wearing." Whitman looked
back at him and replied, "What are you, some kind of
knucklehead?"
