this might seem mean or bad, but i was just curious....
i feel sorry for SOME! most child stars that are dead (or screwed up) today had there parents for agents or there parents made them do that career. i find it VERY sad.

I do feel bad for a lot of child stars cos it must be difficult growing up in the public eye. But there are others that I really couldn't stand and so didn't give a crap about them!
Like, that wee guy who played Dennis in the first 'Dennis the Menace' movie - Mason Gamble. He was a cheeky little ****! I'm glad he disappeared without a trace! :mad:

I feel sorry for Dana Plato from Diff'rent Strokes. She did a lot of bad things in her teen years....she drank a lot, got married, and had a baby, and got divorced. And then she robbed a video rentel store. And not to mention she was fired after being on DS for six years. And in 1999 she overdoesed and died :(
Some I don't understand. Jay North (Who Played Dennis in the "Dennis the Menace" TV show on CBS, 1959-1963) came out in the 80s and started saying all these bad things about being hit and hurt on the set in the last season, which was really different from the rest. (The Original Mr.Wilson died in 1962) He put down his castmates, and even bashed Nick-at-Nite for showing it. Nick pulled the show off it's schedule shortly after all these charges were made by Mr.North. Which is to bad, since 'Dennis' is a pretty good show.

I feel incredibly bad for the aforementioned Dana Plato. Sure, she did quite a few terrible (some even illegal) things in her lifetime, but anyone who is willing can clean up their act. I'm sure Dana was willing, but her addictions were just too extremely overpowering and, unfortunately, they managed to conquer her. Awful.
Also, there was that precocious little girl Anissa Jones who played Buffy Davis on Family Affair (anyone ever watch this show? I have, and it's really good. It aired in 1966 and ended in 1971). She was adorable; had the blonde pigtails and was constantly carrying around that Mrs. Beasley doll. She died in 1976 from a drug overdose. It's a shame... she was only 18.

[/B] Family Affair was a cool show. I hated when they took it off TVLand. Did you happen to see the Anissa Jones biography on E!? It's aired several times over the past few years. It has to be one of the saddest things I've ever seen on television.
