I think all those child stars became screwed-up drug addicts, except Shia LaBeouf.
This is a conversation I had recently with my uncle, I think it was Christmas Day actually.

Drew Barrymore did alright. As did Ron Howard.
Sean Astin and most of The Goonies except Corey Feldman.
Anna Paquin.
Melissa Joan Hart.
Most of the kids on Saved By The Bell. (Dustin Diamond is an asshole but not a junkie.)
Henry Thomas.
And a metric butt ton of others.

I think the two finest examples of child stars getting fucked up and surviving to a decent age are Carrie Fisher and Tatum O'neal.
The best examples of child stars not surviving to a decent age would probably come from Diff'rent Strokes.

Odd, this thread was posted a few days ago & today there was some blurb about her on one of the morning "news" shows.

I didn't think the story was about her getting married though. Maybe i missed it. Heard the name, looked up, saw long blue haired girl getting into a car, hosts talked about her troubled past. Whole thing was like 30 seconds or less.

She was hot but lets face it, it was like 15 years ago when she was on TV. A lot can happen between 18 and 33 years of age. For men too.

celebrities that are insecure and can't handle being in the spotlight. Who knew?

To be honest I 100% blame social media and those that are weak enough to succumb to shit like selfies and videos like this that are obviously there to just seek people's approval. Live life instead of worrying about how you're going to share it with everyone


For a just as equal comparison, see the Jessie Slaughter case:
