Born on December 25, 1949, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Anne Spielberg is a daughter of the late Arnold Spielberg, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, and the late Leah (Posner) Spielberg, and also the sister of filmmaker Steven Spielberg, Nancy Spielberg and Sue Spielberg.[5]
After working for her brother's production company, Amblin Entertainment, Spielberg and her neighbor Gary Ross co-wrote the movie Big in 1988, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. She was also a co-producer on the film, along with noted television and film producer James L. Brooks. Spielberg was an uncredited co-writer of the film Small Soldiers (1998); it was inspired by the combination of Child's Play (1988) and Toy Story (1995).[6]
Her life, and the lives of her siblings, were depicted in Steven Spielberg's 2022 semi-autobiographical film, The Fabelmans, with her portrayed as the fictional Reggie Fabelman, the first younger sister of the main character Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel LaBelle). She was played by Julia Butters.[7][8]
