Raegan Revord (born January 3, 2008) is an American actress known for her role as Missy Cooper in the television series Young Sheldon.
Early life
Raegan Revord was born on January 3, 2008, in San Diego, California and was raised in Los Angeles when her family moved there when she was three and a half years old.[1][2] She was a junior ambassador for Children's Hospital Los Angeles.[2] She is an only child.[3]
Career
Revord began modeling work for print advertisements and appeared in commercials at age four. She was cast as Megan in Modern Family at six. She had minor roles in Grace and Frankie, With Bob & David, and Teachers.[2][4][5] She did voice work for the radio play Nilsa and the Troll.[6]
In March 2017, Revord was cast as Missy Cooper, Sheldon Cooper's twin sister in The Big Bang Theory spin-off Young Sheldon.[7] The character had been used sparingly on The Big Bang Theory (2007-2019), which, according to Revord, gave her more room to make the character her own.[8] Missy Cooper has been described as adding a "much-needed spunk to the plot but also serves as the perfect foil to her academically-gifted twin brother, Sheldon."[9]Screen Rant said in 2024, "For the longest time, Missy was Young Sheldon's best character, even though she was mostly sidelined."[10] Revord picked up her Texan accent by watching Laurie Metcalf play an older version of her character's mother on The Big Bang Theory.[11] She has appeared on the Young Sheldon spin-off series Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage.[12]
In 2019, Revord created Read with Raegan, an online book club which as of 2024 had 55,000 followers on Instagram. She wrote Rules for Fake Girlfriends, a young adult novel scheduled to be published by Wednesday Books in fall 2025.[13][14]
Personal life
Revord and her mother were involved in a car accident in early 2023, and she said in March of that year that she has been suffering from panic attacks since the incident.[15][16]
