[TOMT][MOVIE] Movie about a young child actress with natural talent and emotional problems.

Open.

This movie would have been made in either the 80s or 90s. She's young, maybe 7, and constantly fights with her dad. She gets discovered as a natural actress during a public fight with her dad. She's hired to work on a sitcom that's performed in front of a live audience. I recall the sitcom was about a large family with several children.

I was pretty young when I saw this and over the past 25 years I've thought of it frequently.

It may contain a scene where a commercial is being shot with several girls in raincoats, but that might be from something else.

Edit: I have confirmed the raincoat scene is from a different movie about a child actress called Life With Mikey.

Like Mike? Curly Sue?

Definitely not Curly Sue. I searched "Like Mike" but the only results I got were for a 2002 basketball movie about magic shoes. Did you mean something else?

Sorry, Life with Mikey!

Ooh, maybe! Or it's at least one of two movies I've combined in my head. I'm watching it now to find out.

Okay, so the the commercial with raincoats scene I remembered was from Life with Mikey, but this wasn't the movie I was looking for. Thanks for your help tho.
