Modern Family proved itself to be a success after it ran for eleven awesome seasons. The sitcom first aired in 2009, and it instantly became a major hit.
Aubrey Anderson-Emmons is an American child actress known for her role as Lily Tucker-Pritchett on ABC's Modern Family.
The star was born on June 6 of 2007, in Santa Monica, California. She is the daughter of Korean American Amy Anderson and Kent Emmons, who are separated.
The love for the cameras comes from the family. Her mother is a stand-up comedian and actress, while her father is a media entrepreneur. Aubrey has a half-sister named Ashley.
Aubrey's Acting Career
The young actress joined the cast of Modern Family in its third season in 2011. She spent almost a decade as a series' regular, where she has increased cultural diversity awareness as an Asian American playing a trans-racial adoptee of gay parents.
In 2014, she also had a role in the film Distance. However, a couple of years ago, attending a trip to New York City, Aubrey fell in love with the musical theater.
According to ABC, she is currently training in vocal and dance instruction to become a star on the Broadway stage one day.
Meanwhile, she does a regular YouTube segment, FoodMania Review, with her mother, Amy. Aubrey has also donated her time to support various charitable organizations as well.
Made History at the Age of Four
She made history at the age of four by becoming the youngest ever nominee and recipient of a Screen Actor Guild Award for her performance as Lily Tucker-Pritchett on the hit show. Aubrey also was the youngest celebrity to walk the Primetime Emmy Award red carpet in 2012 and 2013.
The actress's plans include dancing, specifically Latin ballroom. She told Showbiz Cheat Sheet she'd love to be on Dancing with the Stars.
How Much Aubrey Made Playing Lily On Modern Family?
For several seasons, Aubrey's salary per episode was $35,000. However, from 2018 the young actress started earning $70,000 per episode.
On April 8 of 2020, Modern Family came to an end after 11 seasons. Since then, the cast and crew have been sharing emotional moments from behind the final season scenes. Especially Aubrey's on-screen parents, Cam and Mitch.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, best known for portraying Mitchell Pritchett on the sitcom Modern Family, posted his seat during the final table read with the script from the last episode and a tissue packet. While his Modern Family husband, Eric Stonestreet, shared a video right before the read, really taking at the moment.
Jesse, Eric, and Aubrey remain close in real life. As proof of it, they feature in Aubrey's TikTok dances and performances. Growing up on set with the charming duo seems like a memorable experience for the young actress.
Back then, when some fans of Modern Family tweeted their disappointment with Lily's replacement, Eric Stonestreet said, "regarding Lily, she's nine months older than the "old Lily" and happy to be there." The Hiller twins played Lily at the beginning of the sitcom. However, both babies were not pleased to be on set.
Aubrey's on-screen parents have been there for her from her polemic entry, loving and supporting the young child actor that became a real member of the Modern Family cast.
