4 more board 'Kit Kittredge' for HBO Films

May 29, 2007 HBO Films held open casting calls in several cities for the roles of some of Kit Kittredge's friends. "In addition to Abigail Breslin, we've assembled a stellar cast of principal actors as well as four new young girls we discovered in the open-call auditions held around the country," producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas said. "Kit Kittredge," the first theatrical adaptation of the popular American Girl line of dolls, tells the story of Kit Kittredge (Breslin), a clever, resourceful 10-year-old growing up in Cincinnati during the Great Depression who helps her mother (Ormond) run a boardinghouse when her father (O'Donnell) loses his job.
