      I totally agree. Being an older guy at the age of 56, I didn’t know who she was, but after seeing this, I am so happy to see young actors transitioning from child stars to productive and humble people in the real world of work and dedication to the things that moved them in some way.
      I did volunteer work at a large children’s hospital in Texas and I have incredible respect for the nurses and doctors who work with those children. I was at that hospital three evenings a week and I read to them, talked to patients and parents, played therapeutic games with the children, played card and dice games with the smaller children to help sharpen their math skills as many of them were doing school work while in the hospital, and so many other things. I saw so much misery and suffering that those children went through, but they always had a smile on their face and actually cheered me up with their sweet disposition and smiles. I would walk out of there in tears at the end of every evening I was there. It was always welled up in me and I held it in until I was leaving. Sometimes I would just sit in my car in the parking garage and cry for a bit because of seeing so many children with every kind of disease and injury and it just broke my heart every time when I was there. It definitely made me hug my own kids a bit tighter and be so thankful that they were healthy and are healthy as adults now.
      So I said all of that to say that I just don’t know how the nurses and doctors in children’s hospitals do what they do day-in and day-out. I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for them. So for this former child star to do what she dies now definitely makes me have that level of respect for her. I’ve seen the darker side of what these nurses and doctors have to witness and endure and they have nerves of steel and can stay focused in situations that most of us would crumble. I just don’t know how they do it.

    Bean's story was so wholesome. When the video stated that both of his parents died of cancer, I felt a tinge of sadness in my heart. The fact that, despite his failure to stay in show business, he went on to spread joy during the holidays in order to honour his father's love for Christmas. That is such a beautiful story arc.

    Hayden also got a ton of abuse from Star Wars fans and the press. While the prequels had awful writing and acting, that was entirely the fault of Lucas who botched the script and directing.
    Hayden was actually a great Anakin, and did the best he could with what was given to him.
    Recently at a Star Wars celebration, Hayden was moved to tears after an entire arena of fans cheered him on. While the prequels are still genuinely bad films, most fans now recognize the hard work the actors put in. And many now see Hayden as a great part of the Star Wars legacy that deserved better.
    So at least he seemed to get a happy ending. He was literally speechless after getting such a huge response from everyone. Shocked that people actually liked him. It was nice to see.

      I really don't understand the hate he got. Only way I can explain it is that the world was just different back then; people tend to hate the actors much more (same goes for the Joeffrey's actor in GoT for example).
      I always loved Hayden's portrayal of Anakin. His turning to the dark side is just clearly seen in his eyes. Yes, some of his lines might be bad, but that's not his fault. Also the Duel of Fates has the best fighting choreography ever.

    Peter Ostrum definitely dodged a bullet and has such a great story. He’s thankful he had the opportunity to play Charlie but forged ahead on his own path and became successful and a real asset to the world through his veterinary career. He avoided the spotlight for many years while he pursued his veterinary career but has been making occasional appearances at conventions and other events in the last 20 years or so mainly out of the goodness of his heart to thank fans of the movie. Just seems like a down-to-earth guy. Funnily enough, a friend of mine saw an interview with Ostrum wearing a green jacket and sporting a mustache and showed me and a couple other friends and a couple months later dressed the exact same way for a Halloween party. Probably the only person to ever dress as an adult Peter Ostrum at Halloween…

    Sometimes fame isn’t really a gift sometimes it could make your life harder. The sad thing is (I guess not so sad sometimes it could be a good thing that they feel the need to get a normal job) is that some celebrities feel like that they have to work a normal job to feel normal. Sometimes the lack of privacy celebrities get affects them. They get all this attention but then it takes away from the fact that they are just normal people. Some of these celebrities just did what they had to do.

He even requested a trade to the minor leagues. Joey Votto did something similar and wanted to just be a simple bud driver instead of being one of the most disciplined batters of all time.
