I thought we needed a thread to combat all the Grown Up and Hot people.

Who was a cute child star who went on to be average looking, or worse?

Be nice

Gary Coleman comes to mind....

Tina Yothers as Jennifer Keaton on Family Ties was adorable as a child. She didn't grow up ugly, but sort of blah, I guess.

Larry Mathews (Richie from "The Dick Van Dyke Show")
Susan Olsen (Cindy from "The Brady Bunch")
Robbie Rist (Oliver from "The Brady Bunch")

That red-headed boy from "Family Affair" and "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters". I believe he's Johnny Whitacre.

Jonathon from Who's the Boss?

Cute kid, but as the years went on, the cuteness faded away and his acting seemed to get worse. By the last few seasons he was nothing really special and was sort of just there.
