जीवनी

Legally emancipated in May 2015 after years of custody fights in her family.

Younger sister of actor Jimmy Workman (who portrayed Pugsley Addams in the Addams Family movies).

Her sister Shanelle Gray was appointed her guardian in 2012 after the Department of Children and Family Services found that Winter's mother, Chrisoula Workman, was emotionally abusing her daughter. Winter's relationship with her father was deemed not strong enough, therefore her sister was appointed as her legal guardian.

Has a purple belt in Taekwondo.

Her maternal grandparents, Helen G. (Aronis) and James Batistas, both emigrated from Greece. She is of Greek descent. Her father is of English and German descent.

Female empowerment really is important to me. I'm a big nerd of the books from the 15th Century and 16th Century, when the men had all the power and the women had none of it.

I've been working on my own music. I've been writing an album, stuff that's kind of personal to my own life.

I'm pretty smart with boys. I know how to handle them and I know what to do around them.

I have two lovely parents who support everything I do, two siblings, and three beautiful nieces. My house is always filled with laughter and fun!

My life has definitely changed since Modern Family (2009). The show has made me more responsible, I really want to be a good role model for all kids so I have to think about what I say and do and how it looks to other kids!
