    maria lark is a breath of fresh air! hide show

    I enjoy the show "Medium" but I must confess I really tune in because I am hooked on Bridge. Ever since the first season when she walked around in the red bike helmut until now, I eagerly await her banter, words of wisdom and genuine comfort in her own skin...wouldn't it be great if more people could be a little more like this cool kid? Rumor has it that she refused to comb her hair so that's how the bike helmut happened...and that she's a big fan of the goodies at craft services : ) Aww...to be that free again...I hope you are having the time of your life Maria!

    Charming, smart and a real character. hide show

    Maria is one of the reasons I watch Medium. She's smart, funny, and is authentic on the screen, coming across as a real child, and not a "child playing a child", like many child actors do.

    I rarely see her in scenes with one of her adult co-stars. She's a scene stealer, so I can understand that. And I love how she relates to the other actors on the show, especially Sophia, the older actress playing her big sister.

    I hope to see her in a lot more than commercials and Medium in the future, as she grows older. Go, Maria! You're awesome!

    Maria Lark and Shirley Temple one and the same Way to go kiddo. hide show

    I have been watching Medium for a while now and both my Husband and I can't get over how much she is like Shirley Temple. Every time she talks I am amazed, its like watching Shirley all over again. I was pleased to see a post here that others also see the resemblence. I am interested to know if she has spent time watching and studying Shirley Temple, or if this is totally random. Hats off to her mother, for giving her the life she deserves and noticing how special she was on the day she picked her. 8)

    A real kid, nice to see in a business full of fake ones! hide show

    Normally I try to avoid shows and movies with child stars who have to carry a plot. Recently there have been a few kids who are breaking out a real actors rather than just cute smiles and funny lines and Maria Lark is one of them. She portrays a real little girl in Medium and she appears to be a really well rounded kid. I started watching Medium and immediately noticed this little girl as a star. She plays to the crowd in exactly the right way dressing and acting just like a child her age should. She is a wonderful role model to girls her age who are constantly being influenced by girls who are much older and not portraying the best images from young girls to follow. Keep up the good work Maria!

    Maria Lark is a bright little star with a future filled with potential hide show

    Maria Lark is a bright little star with a future filled with potential. I watch the television show "Medium" regularly, and I especially await scenes in which "Bridget" appears. Maria brings this character to life, very realistically portraying a dynamo of a middle child with an independent spirit. She is a joy to watch: she has good comic timing and great chemistry with her on-screen family. This little actress always brings a smile to my face, and I expect good things from her in the future. And, although no real acting is involved, look for Maria in Norah Jones' music video "Sunrise". If you look closely, you'll spot Maria shining brightly as the face of the sun…
