Kiernan Shipka

Kiernan Shipka is an American actress who began her career as a child and quickly established herself as one of Hollywood’s most talented young performers. Born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in Los Angeles, Shipka landed her most iconic early role at just seven years old, playing Sally Draper on the AMC drama Mad Men (2007-2015). Her performance as the daughter of Jon Hamm’s Don Draper grew more complex and acclaimed as the series progressed, and she became one of the standout performers in the critically beloved show.

After Mad Men concluded, Shipka continued to build her resume with film and television roles. She appeared in the films The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2015), Fan Girl (2015), and One and Two (2015). Her major post-Mad Men breakthrough came when she was cast as the title character in Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018-2020), a darker reimagining of the Sabrina the Teenage Witch franchise. The show ran for four seasons and solidified Shipka as a leading actress capable of carrying a series.

Shipka has demonstrated impressive versatility, moving between horror, drama, and coming-of-age genres. She starred in the horror films The Silence (2019) and Totally Killer (2023), the latter being a time-travel slasher comedy for Amazon that received positive reviews. She also appeared in the Roku original series Swimming with Sharks (2022) alongside Diane Kruger. Her ability to balance genre entertainment with more dramatic fare has kept her in demand.

At just 26 years old, Shipka’s estimated net worth of $4 million reflects a career that has spanned nearly two decades. Her early years on Mad Men, her leading role in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and a steady stream of film and television work have built a solid financial foundation as she continues to grow in the industry.
