you don't know who Elijah Wood is? He was freaking Frodo.. and I find it scary you never heard of Jodie Foster. Christina Ricci has been around for YEARS. You never seen "The Wonder Years" or "Boy Meets World"? You should put down the tabloids and gossip mags and start paying attention to people who have talent.

that_woman I didn't know Christian Bale was a child star.. I mean I wanted to put Leonardo DiCaprio but he didn't start doing movies and tv until he was like 16 and that's not really a child star.
I could have put Thora Birch and a few others but I didn't want the list to be super long.

Empire of The Sun is an amazing movie and I recommend you check it out. It's got Malkovich in it too!

Angie X, Christian Bale did his first movie at 12, but Empire of the Sun was his first big role, at age 13. I guess that doesn't make him a child star the likes of Elijah Wood, but he's got a bit of a career now! :D
Felix, I get it! :D Sarcasm is a two edged sword, ain't it, baby? LOL

I sure has he** hope it was sarcasm!
What a shame that the human species concentrates so much on the bad that they ingnore the good.
I really liked this article. It gives me hope that my need for entertainment is not a 100% detrement to someones childhood.
