Scarlett Spears

Birth Date: 12/06/2017

Puerto Rican-American child actress and performer Scarlett Spears launched her career at age five through stage training in Orlando, Florida. Since 2022, she has balanced a recurring daytime television role with a rapidly growing film career. Best known for voicing Bonnie in Toy Story 5, playing Young Glinda in Wicked: For Good, and portraying Donna Corinthos on General Hospital, Spears is one of the most watched young talents in American entertainment.

Scarlett Spears’ Rise From Daytime Drama to Disney-Pixar Animation

At just eight years old, Scarlett Spears has already built a career that most performers spend decades chasing. Born on June 12, 2017, in Orlando, Florida, and of Puerto Rican descent, Spears began her professional journey early through the LeBlanc School of Acting and signed with Coast to Coast Talent and Ivy Artists Management. Her screen debut came in 2022 with an uncredited appearance in P!nk’s music video “Never Gonna Not Dance Again,” a small moment that set a much larger career in motion.

General Hospital gave Spears her first sustained platform. She joined the ABC daytime drama in November 2022 as Donna Corinthos, the daughter of Sonny Corinthos and Carly Spencer, logging 47 episodes across three years. Child roles in long-running soaps rarely capture national attention, but her work on the show drew consistent praise from cast and fans alike, and the role kept her visible during a period when her film opportunities were rapidly stacking up.

Wicked: For Good and a Role Built on Precision

The breakout moment came with the 2025 sequel Wicked: For Good, where Spears played Young Glinda – the childhood version of the character portrayed by Ariana Grande and directed by Jon M. Chu. Landing the role required more than physical resemblance; it demanded vocal and physical precision convincing enough to anchor the emotional backstory of one of the film’s central figures. The casting put Spears firmly in the conversation as one of the most capable child performers working in Hollywood at the time.

That same year, she appeared in Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado as Young Dora, and picked up a guest role on the TV series Middlehood. Upcoming credits include Zoe in The Last Mrs. Parrish, a Robert Zemeckis film starring Jennifer Lopez and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, currently in post-production.

Toy Story 5 and the Voice of Bonnie Anderson

The announcement that defined early 2026 came on February 19, when Spears was confirmed as the voice of Bonnie Anderson in Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5, set for a June 19, 2026 theatrical release. Bonnie – the child who inherited Andy’s toys – had previously been voiced by Emily Hahn and Madeleine McGraw. Spears becomes the third actor to take on the role, and the first Latina to voice the character, a distinction that earned wide coverage from entertainment and Latinx media outlets alike.

The film’s premise pits Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and the rest of the toy crew against a new tablet device called Lilypad, voiced by Greta Lee, which threatens to pull Bonnie away from traditional play entirely. Spears shares the cast with Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Conan O’Brien, and Craig Robinson – a lineup that underscores exactly how central Bonnie’s role is to the story’s emotional core.
