Mae Whitman has been acting for 20 years, and one of her first roles was in 1996 when 8-year-old Mae starred as Maggie Taylor in One Fine Day.
Two years later, she starred in Hope Floats as Bernice.
And that's really where her crying ability began to shine through.
Years later, she was still crying in movies and on television.
But recently, she has perfected her on-screen tears as Amber Holt on Parenthood.
She can cry when she's apologizing.
Or when she feels like a screw-up.
Or when she just feels loved.
She can cry when she loses a friend.
She's really good at crying when she's scared.
And especially good at crying while yelling.
She cries when she's disappointed.
And when she worries about other people being disappointed in her.
She cries when people make her feel special.
Any time anyone says nice things about Amber, she will surely shed at least a single tear.
Or when she tries to make other people feel good.
She cries when she does something scary for the first time.
She also cries happy tears!
She cries when she's ashamed.
And she really sobs when people leave her.
But she cries the best when she's frightened.
Particularly, when she's panicked and frightened.
And when she has a shoulder to cry on, forget about it.
Let it out, Mae. Let it out.
