Talking about her acting career in detail, Tina Fey’s daughter made her debut in Hollywood in 2015 through her mom’s co-written (with Jack Burditt) TV series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. She portrayed the character Olsen Twin Lookalike in the series. After 6 years, Penelope again appeared in a musical comedy TV series Girls5eva in which her mom is one of the executive producers too and her father has given music.

Penelope Wasn’t An Initial Choice For Girls5eva

In the series Girls5eva, Penelope played a prominent character as Stevia. Due to the reason that producing team was hesitant to ask Penelope to audition, the role was initially given to another kid. But due to the COVID-19 pandemic, another kid became unable to be present on the set. So, the 9-year-old character came into the hand of Penelope. In this regard, her mom Tina, who is also one of the producers of the show, said,

“I was like, Penelope, you’re up.”

Regarding Penelope’s work, her mom further stated
