The House of the Spirits
Gummer made her screen acting debut (billed as Jane Grey) in the 1993 film "The House of the Spirits", as the younger version of her mother's character, Clara del Valle. She had her next professional acting job after graduating college; in 2008, she starred off-off-Broadway in Lukas Bärfuss's "The Sexual Neuroses of Our Parents". She originally was asked to help with the play's costume design but ended up auditioning and getting cast in its lead role.
