The honour was previously held by then 16-year-old, Scott Jacoby. The star won the Best Supporting Actor award in 1973 for his role in the made-for-TV drama film, That Certain Summer. On the other hand, the youngest actress to win an Emmy is Roxana Zal, who won the award in 1984 at the young age of 14.
