What award does Daveigh Chase received for the movie The Ring?”
Chase was born Daveigh (pronounced “Duh-Vay”) Elizabeth Chase-Schwallier in Las Vegas, Nevada, but her name was later changed to Daveigh Elizabeth Chase after her parents, Cathy Chase and John Schwallier, divorced. Chase lives with her mother Cathy Chase and was raised in Albany, Oregon, before moving to Los Angeles, California to pursue her career (although she does still spend much of her time in Albany). She now has a younger brother, Cade. She wanted to perform from a very early age and began singing and dancing in her hometown and other local areas at community events and shows.

Chase’s big break came later in 2002 when she won the lead role as the voice of a Hawaiian girl, Lilo Pelekai, in the Disney animated feature, Lilo & Stitch.

For her performance, Chase would go on to win an Annie Award for it in 2003 and star in the follow up TV series, Lilo & Stitch: The Series. In 2001, Chase won the role as the voice of the lead character, Chihiro Ogino, a 10 year old Japanese girl, in the American dub of the animated Japanese feature, Spirited Away.[1] The film won the 2002 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Her other animated film work from that year, L
In 2002, Daveigh Chase starred in the role of Samara Morgan in the feature film, The Ring. Chase was awarded the 2003 Best Villain award at the MTV Movie Awards for her performance, beating out Mike Myers, Colin Farrell, Willem Dafoe and Daniel Day-Lewis. In the sequel to The Ring, The Ring Two (2005), Chase was credited for her role as Samara Morgan because of the use of archive footage from the first Ring, but Kelly Stables performed all of the new footage.
