Fair enough Matty. I didnt recognize all of those names, but did recognize a few. So there certainly have been child stars that turned out okay. I still think there's more than just parenting at play here -- but a lot of the absolute messes do have terrible parents.

I still think if you steal the childhood away from a kid and have them work, they're going to have a much harder time adjusting than other people. I especially think it's rough for kids that once they're not children are no longer in the business. All of the people you named are still in the movie business, so it's all they've really known. I'm curious how Ron Howard/Natalie Portman would be doing in a regular life.
