1:44 Uhhh Mary Poppins returns iam a joke to you
Judith Barsi’s death was so tragic because she died at the hands of her own father and had endured years of abuse by him.
I can imagine her and her mother are now in a place far away from him.I don't know if they are in heaven or went through reincarnation (for the believers of Norse mythology), but it's very clear where he ended up. The pool of lava.
@@grahamdamberger7130he's in the 7th circle of Hell apparently. That's for violence.
@@grahamdamberger7130 They are definitely in Heaven at the right hand of God, for sure. I definitely believe that
No family or friend members can handle that kinda grief alone it so unfair they didn’t get the justice or help from the police
Oh my gosh. I had no idea. Horrible
Anton Yelchin’s death hit me so hard…not just the circumstances of it, but he was an only child who died on Father’s Day and it happened to be his Star Trek co-star Zoe’a birthday as well…tragedy upon devastation
life is cruel we can only accept it
We had watched Odd Thomas the night before so it was a really weird kick to the gut. I kinda hope he's out there with Elvis solving crime now.
I remember when fans successfully raised funds to give Judith Barsi and her mother a proper headstone. Such a great thing the fans did. So sad that Judith and her mother had no one else which is wonderful the fans stepped up.
That child’s death is so heartbreaking 💔
Tracy Goldmans Family paid the funeral costs. It was heartbreaking and she was such a beautiful little girl 🥲
😭😭😭
@@janina8559 Its Gold not Goldman.
Super depressing we live in a world where a little girl loses her life like that
Anton Yelchin's parents are always at his grave at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I've seen them there many times. It's so sad, he was their only child.
Anton Yelchins death took me down hard... his portrayal in Alpha Dog was like watching myself in a movie. Loved him as both an actor and a person and was definitely taken too early, too harshly.
@@toreneighdough8345 I watch this movie about once a month. Such an amazing movie from the early 2000's
It kills me everytime they show those over the rainbow at home clips at the beginning.
Such a overwhelming loss
That's so sad. I hope they both find peace
You forgot to mention that Anton was in the Star Trek movies! You only showed Zoe Saldana’s interview!
I don't believe that his death was an "accident" the situation is too fishy
I was shocked when I heard the news about Cameron Boyce’s death. He was one of my favorites.
Yeah, he was cool. It's a bit sad seeing him in the "Grown Ups" movies, knowing he's no longer around.
Yep it was terrible tragic news
@@danielwells1734, not to mention, you have Adam Sandler mourning him too. Movie dad cries for movie son, what could be sadder than that?
@@dafilmqueen556 when you're family on stage or screen, you become family for real.
We're all going to miss Cameron Boyce 😔
Rest in peace to all the child actors who died so young
RIP to all the children who died young! 😢
Cameron Boyce hurts for a lot of reasons. Not only was he so talented, and far too young, but was such a kind hearted kid. My wife has epilepsy as well, so it hurts in a whole other way. It's scary to think that could happen any day.
It was so sad to hear how he died. I have epilepsy and I hope I don't pass like that.
i pray it never does…but that the knowledge of how short a time we are here & fragile life is makes your marriage just that much stronger.
I imagine it's hard trying to be an actor with epilepsy. Bud Abbott of Abbott & Costello fame had epilepsy and would have seizures during their live performances. The audience didn't know and they were able to get through it by Costello hitting Abbott in the stomach area.
the death which occured to me the most was cameron boyce it hurts for a lot of reasons. not only was he talented, and far too young, but he was such a kind hearted kid. I'll never forget when he played luke on the disney show jessie.
Never heard of him
I met Jonathan Brandis shortly before he passed away & he was honestly one of the most genuine people I'd ever come across. Truly a good soul. Jonathan wanted to get into writing & directing & these were things I could've seen him doing. I remember telling him that I couldn't wait to see what he came up with. He mentioned that he had directed some short films & wanted to expand into feature films. His passing was a tragic waste.
Thanks for sharing that he really meant alot to many of us growing up. It's such a shame what happened knowing he had much more to give I just hope he has found some measure of peace now. RIP 🙏🏻
Oh boy and I'm super happy to hear that he was happy to hear that you were also happy to what he was going to come up with ya know.
I'm happy that you came across him. He must have really loved that part the most
@@sovereign3351 I feel he would've done well with writing & directing, especially now that there are streaming services. The possibilities of his creations would've been endless.
Great that you got to meet him. I was always a fan and loved him in The Neverending Story 2. His passing was so sad. Hope he is in a happier and better place now.
River Phoenix only 23, one of my favourite actors. RIP
Bobby Driscoll, who voiced Peter Pan in the classic Disney movie, died of a drug overdose. His mother didn't even know he'd died until a year later.
I wonder why she didn't know for so long. So sad.
@@cnashford2 He was homeless the last year of his life and when they found his body there was no identification on him. Nobody knew who he was so he was buried as a John Doe. 1,5 years later his mother tried to find him because his father was about to die. That's when police compared his fingerprints with all their unknown dead and identified him.
@@Silkke Thanks for the explanation. That must have been incredibly devastating for his loved ones.
Homeless, drunk, drugs. Found in a back alley. Buried in a pauper's grave
@@jennifer_m.8613 Jesus smh that is incredibly tragic 🙁
The Anton one kills me every time. I have been to his memorial a couple times and every time I am there either his mom or dad is there as well. His father was there last Sunday when I was visiting. They still visit 6 years later. My heart hurts so much for them.
Its so horrible. Such a talent. I wonder what he be doing now. I feel so bad for his parents, their only child. It could of been fixed if the stupid car manufacturers not getting out to the public of this happening 😒
Tell them he is missed by many.
The sad part was that her mother cried out for help multiple times but no one helped which led to Judiths death.
Judith's death and her mother's, too. It's so sad how many people are failed by the system.
Anton Yelchin got me back into Star Trek with his role as Chekov. Was so heartbroken when he passed. Rest In Peace
How could you forget Rebecca Schaeffer? She was on "My Sister Sam" and killed by a fan. She was only 22 years old.
Brittany Murphy was so good in everything
She was PERFECT
Truly A *Dame to Kill For*
she had such a unique look, voice and laugh. Also it's like she had this mystery about her. Idk how to describe what I mean lol. She was def one of a kind. Great actress too.
@@tyffaneelavely8087 Its the death effect that's the mystery otherwise shes just your girl next door
She was especially touching in Girl Interrupted and The Dead Girl.
I remember Brittany Murphy on Kids Incorporated. And Almost Home. She was semi-type casted.
RIP to the wonderful child actors who died so soon.🙏🏾💔🕊️
Yep. Never expected to see you here.
Growing up in the 90's I had the biggest crush on both Lee Thompson Young and Jonathan Brandis. It's heartbreaking that depression and mental illness took them away at such a young age. Especially when they both had so more to give. Rest in Peace to all of these talented people who lost their lives way too soon 🙏🏾🕊
They were both very handsome young men; so tragic for both of them and their love ones.
Anyone struggling with their mental health, if you need any sign to reach out for help, take this as the one. Reach out; you are loved.
Lee Thompson Young was one of my first celebrity crushes. I loved the Famous Jett Jackson.
Same .Both were cuties Soo tragic.
I knew the little girl who played Ducky in Land Before Time was murdered by her father but I had no idea he killed her and her mother before taking his own life afterwards! RIP to so many big names I recognize on here.
Holy hell that’s dark
In a sick twist of irony.. I believe her first real role (other than commercials) was in the TV mIniseries Fatal Vision..,
in that miniseries she plays a child who’s father kills her, her sister, and pregnant mother.
The tv show came out 4 years before Judith’s real-life father took her and her mother’s life.
@@michellelamar8965 😱 Talk about dark that is dark and twisted also! Who would have believed that she would be killed a few years after that show came out.
Yes, not only playing as Ducky from The Land Before Time but also Annmarie from All Dogs Go to Heaven.
@@Kaytran97 didn't know that she was in that movie.
Heather O'Rourke often makes these sorts of lists; just as often, they tend to forget Dominique Dunn, who co-starred with O'Rourke in 'Poltergeist' in 1982 but was killed by her boyfriend in October of that year, aged only 22.
Yep...but I don't think she was a child star.
He's out now, too. He's been out for years, living his life, while she's been dead for years.
@@rachelxx1991- What? Serious?! I remember when she was murdered and how horrible it was to hear that she had been killed. So he's out free now? That's just sickening.
Anton Yelchin hits me hard! Such a tragic accident, he was at the peak of his career, so talented. He would have been an Oscar winner for sure 😢
Cameron Boyce’s death was so shocking to me because he was the same age as me when he died. Really made me consider my own mortality after that
RIP Cameron
Same
I cry when he died
@@Miraculousgirl-wz9ss Me too. I was so devastated.
@@cassandraspoelhof3752 same
He died on my birthday that had me questioning which if was really supposed to be a good day
Anton Yelchin is who I miss the most. Beautiful sci-fi actor whose lovable character I cherished so much. RIP buddy 😠😢😥😰💕
He was so sweet in Like Crazy with Felicity Jones and Jennifer Lawrence.
And to think what makes the deaths of these child actors even sadder is that they all had their whole lives ahead of them. but thanks to cruel fate they all got cut short, may they all rest in peace especially Cameron and River you two will always be my favorites!!!
it's nice that you value them more than literally any other child that dies because THESE kids were in movies, and worth more than the rest of us.
We all have our whole lives ahead
Doesn't make it any sadder to me
@@CyclopsWasRight616 Everything you dont see is just a number.
Yeah except for the ones who took their own life
I was 22 when River died and at the time he was everything to me. I have never really gotten over his death. It was devastating. Still makes me cry to this day (I'm 51 now).
I'm 45 and yes, same here. He was such an influence to me as well because I also became vegan at such a young age like him. I still have the Peta fliers with him on the cover. Cherish all of them. Can't believe it's been 30 years..
I think it did some actors a favor , so they dont care . This outcome was also when he did grow older river was a reckless dude
What’s really tragic is the number of these child actors who died from substance abuse. Fame may be a wealthy friend, but it’s also a hard one mentally.
Corey Haim was one of my celebrity crushes. His death hit me especially hard. I am a child of the 80s and 90s, and so "The Lost Boys," "Dream Machine," "Fast Getaway," "License to Drive," "Prayer of the Rollerboys," etc. were part of my ever-expanding list of movies I loved to watch. I'm so sorry that he fell victim to Hollywood's dark side. It absolutely disgusts me that the sickos who preyed on him, as well as other young people, have not been brought to justice.
Brittany Murphy's death is still, to this day, very suspicious to me. I'm so sorry she's no longer here. She was one of my favorites. I love her as Ty in "Clueless," and also as Topanga's weird, annoying friend in an episode of "Boy Meets World."
Jonathan Brandis was also one of my favorites.
Corey Haim deserved so much better :(
he was a great actor and he deserves some more recognition today. I absolutely love The Lost Boys
She was pretty dam awesome in 8 mile. Lots of people forget she was in that movie with eminem.
@@starella. still one of my favorites this many years later.
Cameron Boyce passing was a pretty big shock. I had just watched Descendants 3 when it happened and I couldn't believe it.
That was playing on my television as I was giving birth. Oddly it gave me comfort!

From what I remember heather died of septic shock, something to do with her lower abdomen. Rumors were from sexual abuse.
Ashleigh Aston Moore. She played young Chrissy in “Now and Then”, a 1995 coming-of-age film. She died in 2007 at 26 from an accidental heroin overdose.
Are you sure it was accidental? She could have been trying to take her life, you don't know for sure
I remember that 😔
Wow I didn't know that!!
I had no idea half of these child actors passed away - RIP! Urkels love interest was one of them
Four more child actors come to mind:
Jared Nathan, who was on the PBS children’s show “Zoom,” died in a car crash at age 21 in 2006.
Philip Neil Hope, who played Derek "Wheels" Wheeler on “Degrassi Junior High,” “Degrassi High,” and “Degrassi: The Next Generation” died at age 35 in 2007.
Carl Steven, who played Tommy Pervis in “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,” died due to a heroin overdose at age 36 in 2011.
And, most recently, Jahmil French, who played Dave Turner on “Degrassi: The Next Generation,” died at age 29 in 2021.
Carl was also Fred on Pup named Scooby Doo
Bobby Driscoll played Peter Pan in the Disney Peter Pan film should also be on this list. Died in 1968 at 31 from an OD
Gary Coleman (Diff'rent Strokes) 1968-2010: Brain Haemorrhage after falling down stairs in his house
came to the comments to see if anyone would mention jahmil. i was so shocked and saddened the day he died. his work on degrassi is very underrated imo
Phillip and Carl were in their thirties,they weren't young when they died
@@kenthegamer Bobby Driscoll didn't make the list probably because he was what most people consider middle aged at the time of his demise
Jonathan Brandis is still Shocking to me after all these years
Same, I recently watched one of his last movies with his girlfriend at the time. Such a tragic loss.
I didn’t even know he was dead until this video, sad. I actually really liked the IT miniseries, though I prefer the “remake”.
I’ll miss him. He was fantastic as Bastiain in Neverending Story2
@@chasehedges6775 true. But him in Ladybugs will always be a favorite of mine. He also did a movie "2 came back" with Melissa Joan Hart, I found on youtube or Tubi. He was such a diverse actor!
He was one of my 1st celebrity crushes. My uncle actually saw an article about his passing and told me about it a few days later.
Some of these are indeed very tragic but I never heard of many of them and I’m 62 and have seen a ton of movies and TV shows. The show Dana Plato was on seemed to be cursed. Britney Murphy seemed to have such a promising career. Anyone killing themselves is sad to hear but when it’s someone under 30 it’s devastating. I knew River Phoenix was coming up. He could have been as big a superstar as his brother Joaquin was😭
There was another show I thought seemed cursed. The main person that made it out of it unscathed was Courtney Cox.
Misfits of Science from 1985-6
The other 3 stars
Dean Paul Martin (Dean Martin's son) died at 35 (1987) when his Phantom Jet Crashed
Kevin Peter Hall (Super tall actor that played the Predator and Harry from Harry and the Hendersons) also died at 35 (1991), from Aids from a blood transfusion.
Mark Thomas Miller still alive but in 1991 he was disfigured in a terrible accident
Duuude! I was just thinking of Lee Thompson Young the other day! I was thinking of old Disney Channel shows and The Famous Jett Jackson popped in my head. He was one of my favorite actors as a kid
Honorable mentions:
1. Gary Coleman
2. Dustin Diamond
3. Tara Correa-McMullen (appeared in the Martin Lawrence film Rebound)
4. Dominique Dunne
Rebecca Schafer also
i was thinking about dominique since they mentioned heather
@@user-gw9hk1ox7t The infamous Poltergeist Curse
Houston Tumlin, AKA, Walker Bobby from Talladega Nights. I just found out he passed away maybe last week.
@@kendrarasberry3078 😓😓
When Michelle Thomas died it was like someone crushing your heart. She fought hard🥀.
My dad was upset when Michelle Thomas died he like her as Steve Urkel's girlfriend he said she was funny and cute
@@LaraCroftEyes1 she was💔🥀
I also mostly remember Judith Barsi's voice role as Ann-Marie in "All dogs go to heaven".
That movie is impossible for me to watch anymore. You can hear how sad she sounds.
The young man from the newer star trek movies, I remember hearing the details surrounding his death a few years ago, I believe I was told his car rolled out and pinned him to the gate or something like that. That one was just tragic. How a relatively simple mistake or even a simple car malfunction can cost you your life, it's just a nightmare situation.
There's more to that than a simple malfunction. It was a known problem with the vehicle he owned, a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV. He received a recall notice for the problem that killed him in the mail, seven days after his death.
@@netgnostic1627 I thought it was his death that finally forced the recall.
@@munkustrap2 I think some people were suspicious of that, but there seems to be solid evidence that the recall was in the works before Yelchin died.
Unfortunately he joined the 27 club.. I was a fan from his movie Alpha Dog and Star Trek,RIP SIR.
Judith Barsi deserves to be on this list, what happened to her was a tragedy
I hope her father can burn in Hell
💯💯💯
Definitely and so sad 😞
This is a list of 20 of course not everyone would be on this list
Judith Barsi is a part of this list actually! She appears 17 minutes in.
Brand Renfro...immediate gut wrench. Right up there with my crushes from the 90s. For me personally as a fan, his death impacted me more than Heath Ledger's who was shortly after. Has been buried back in my brain for so long though that had a sudden gut reaction when I saw it because it'd been so long since he'd crossed my mind.
I was too old to really know Cameron Boyce, but as someone with epilepsy myself it hits way too close to home especially given his age.
List is just sad, though. In so many ways, especially little Judith Barsi.
If only Kirk Cameron had died young.
You MISSED one of my favorites!!! Skye McCole Bartusiak, she played Susan Martin, the darling little daughter of Mel Gibson in the movie The Patriot. She was also Hazel, in the movie The Cider House Rules and young Missy Davis in Love Comes Softly.....and many more movie roles. She was a very talented actress and died in July 2014 from an accidental drug overdose; found in her apartment behind her parents house. She was 21 years old.
Ya I remember her as Missy in Love Comes Softly also with Katherine Hiegl. That was a really good movie.
She was in season 2 of 24 as well.
These are all just so sad. Another early death was the actress, Dominique Dunne, who played in a minor role in Poltergeist. She played the older sister. She was murdered by a scumbag who ended up with a 6 year sentence and only served around 2 years.
That was tragic.
Howd he kill her
@@unkown211_ He strangled her into a coma and she passed away in the hospital shortly thereafter. On top of that, the disgusting prick was only charged with manslaughter and got only a few years in prison. So Dominique didn't even really get justice. Just writing about it pisses me off.
River Phoenix and Jonathan Brandis are the ones i miss msot. Sadly Substance Abuse and depression go hand in hand with child stars
It honestly goes hand in hand with performers in general
I miss Anton Yelchin!!!
Same he was the man
All of these broke my heart but River’s especially. I’ve been a fan of his for nine years since I was a child to an adult and like I say with all these others, he deserved better. With how traumatic it was for him regarding his childhood, it’s so heartbreaking to see that he saw substance abuse as a coping mechanism. He could have been something ten times greater than he already was and would have had a phenomenal career. Rest in peace and happy fifty secondth birthday River 🕊 (his birthday is in a few days). Thank you for the tremendous influence you have been to my life and always will be.
Can’t believe it’s already been over 3 years since Cameron Boyce died! It feels like it was just yesterday I woke up to a text from my dad with a news article about his passing. I was utterly shocked and devastated, and tbh I still am.😭
I really really liked Cameron Boyce acting in “Jessie” (2011-2015) and I really really liked his Acting and Singing in “Descendants” 1, 2 and 3 (2015-2019) and I really really liked his acting “Bunk’d” (2015-2022) and The cast of were so very very Heartbroken 😭💔😭💔 and they say he was one of the best some say he was the best and may Cameron Boyce R.I.P. in Heaven (1999-2019).
Cameron Boyce's death hit me the hardest because I had epilepsy too. I'm very fortunate to be seizure-free now but I know not everyone who has epilepsy can get the same treatment that I did. While it's always good to plan ahead for the future, it's also important to enjoy life while you still can, as you never know when your last day before death will be
I also have epilepsy. I found out about Cameron’s death at the airport getting ready to go to Disney World.
My best friend has epilepsy as well but she had a really bad seizure in her sleep
Anton, River, Corey, Jonathan, and Cameron are deaths I will never get over
It's heartbreaking, so many talented actors that we lost at young ages.
*I miss cameron Boyce so much. It's still doesn't feel real that he's gone. Whether it was suicide, accident, overdose, etc, they were still icons.*
Same
💯
I honestly didn’t even know he had epilepsy until he died as a result of it. Makes me wonder just how many seizures he had throughout his life. Even medication he took to help control the epilepsy wasn’t enough to save him.😭
His airway was blocked due to having a seizure and he did.
@@hotjamaicanqueen Oh. That poor kid.😭
Hearing Joaquin’s speech at the Oscar’s in 2020 and hearing him talk about river was hard. Also finding out that him and Rooney Mara named their son river
I know that I'm getting older when I here that someone 31 died and I get upset thinking that that's way to young to pass away RIP to all these young actors that passed away to young
Was the 27 Club We ain't making it past 21' - Juice Wrld
Rest in peace to all these tragic child stars that were taken too soon
Judith Barsi’s death absolutely breaks my heart… I can’t even watch The Land Before Time without feeling depressed hearing her voice.
Though he didn't die as a child Jonathan Brandis instantly came to mind. RIP to everyone on this list 🙏🏻
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Bobby Driscoll, the kid who played Peter Pan and Jim Hawkins from Treasure Island.
Another name not mentioned here is Sammi Kraft, who at age 12 played Amanda in the surprisingly good 2005 remake of The Bad News Bears. She was killed in a car accident in 2012 at age 20. Investigators found no evidence of alcohol or drugs being involved. Just a tragic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I just watched Anton last night in Fright Night…. That sent me back
Best movie bro I swear
Even though he only acted in one movie, I only recently learned that Houston Tumlin who played Walker Bobby in Talladega Nights died from suicide after serving in the military. It's upsetting that this unfortunate death isn't well known by people.
Josh Ryan Evans also played young Grinch in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" in 2000
This is so heart breaking. I didn’t even know any of these actors were gone. Im here wondering why I’m not hearing about them anymore and bam, watch mojo hits the feelings
Good tribute video, may they all rest in peace.
🙏My prayers, my condolences go out to the families and friends of these Child Stars🙏🙏
Likewise 😔 they will be greatly missed, years later.
The overwhelming majority of kid actors end up train wrecks. It shows the undue influence possessed by the creeps at Disney that lawmakers are too afraid to do something to protect child stars. The only ones that ended up ok are Winnie Cooper and her real life sister who played Becky Slater, Paul Pfeiffer, the son from Hook, DJ Tanner and her brother Mike Seaver, the kid from the Ring, the little girl from Party of Five, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Ralphie from A Christmas Story. In these cases, the parents were highly involved and made sure that their kids were steered clear of the fast lane. Otherwise, they ended up like River Phoenix, the Coreys, Macaulay Culkin, Doogie Howser, Dennis the Menace, the kid with that bowl cut from 8 is Enough, Aaron Carter, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, those two girls from the Cosby Show, the younger brother on Family Ties, Drew Barrymore, Screech, Stephanie Tanner, Tatum O’Neil, Leif Garrett, the kid from Terminator 2, Buffy from Family Affair, the cast of Diff’rent Strokes and pretty much every kid who was on a show on either Disney Channel or Nickelodeon.
rip to all the child stars who passed away your memory lives on forever
R.I.P. to Cameron Boyce. He was such a good person, a great actor, & an inspiration all around!
Also, I had no idea that the actress who played Urkel’s other love interest died.
R.I.P. to Brittany Murphy.
R.I.P. to Heather O’Rourke. She was an amazing child star!
My dad was 48 and at work began telling me his arms felt broken. This went on for months then spread throughout his legs and back. Take things seriously when someone you know who never complains, starts actually telling you things are hurting. He had a rare type of lymphoma (case #13 worldwide). His religious beliefs kept him from accepting the one procedure that could have given him a fighting chance. Sadly he bled to death slowly over two and a half days in excruciating pain. We never know when the last time we will see our loved ones will be and I try to live my life by the words of my father “don’t ever leave or go to bed angry, do not let them finally words you say be words you want to but cannot take back. Those might be the last things you get to do and say with your loved ones and don’t let that be something you will regret “. Not saying allow toxic ppl in your life but even then don’t let your anger get the best of you better to say I love you but I will not accept or allow you to bring toxicity into my life and you are welcome to be part of my life after you get your life figured out rather than something vile and hateful and on their level be the final words left between you. You in no way need to be best friends just don’t let things you feel be hateful because they take up rent free space in your head. Take care all and cherish those who cherish you and be kind you never know when the last time will be the last time.
My so called dad told my mom to drop dead. She did 2 days later. So yes I know the power of hateful words... 😤😤😤🤬😥😥😥
So very true. I'm sorry your father had to suffer for so long. It's so hard to lose a loving parent. My dad passed in August. It will be his birthday tomorrow. I'm very grateful that we knew in advance and I got to spend months with him before he passed. But most of the loved ones I've lost in my life died very suddenly, with no chance to say goodbye. I'm so grateful that my last memories of them were loving ones.💗
@@deborahblackvideoediting8697 i am sorry for your loss as well. It isn’t easy, not having time feels like you were robbed of that time and having the time will never feel like you had enough time with them. I truly hope you have a good support system and have been able to work through some of the grief.
Anton Yelchin is one of the best I've seen & his acting skills in Star Treck has made a mark on my memory..........
Mad respect for not ranking these.
Foot note: Lee Thompson was in the film version of 'Friday Night Lights". Rest in peace.
Anton Yelchin is the one I miss the most. Odd Thomas was a great movie brought to life by Anton.
He broke my heart in Alpha Dog
RIP Anton. Might be one of the worse sudden celeb deaths I remember. It hit me a diff way due to the way it happened and when it happened at the prime of his life
Rest in power to my favorite role model:Lee Thompson Young.🙏🏾❤️💐✊🏾😎
Judith Barsi is the one that kills me. She voiced Ducky in Land Before Time. She was murdered by her own father at the age of 10. Absolutely heartbreaking.
Man some people are just sick
Ten.
She also voiced Anne Marie in All Dogs go to Heaven and the end credits song "Love Survives" was dedicated in her memory 💔
ha ha ha
@@firstname4337 go away.
I miss Cameron Boyce 😭💜
I went to High School with Joe Pichler (Kyle Moxon in Varsity Blues, Kid in Chemo in The Fan) he has been missing and presumed dead since 2006
Anton Yelchin death was a shock because I really enjoyed the new Star Trek movies. He played Chekov very well.
He was also a perfect young Kyle Reese
in one of those "Terminator" sequels.
I work at AT&T Stadium. Been there for 10 years now. In my 1st or 2nd year (I honestly can't remember) Corey Feldman came to an event & used the elevator I was manning. I told him that I have lost a few of my brothers too so he's not alone in this huge world. He gave me a bro hug.
I didn't know Jonathan Brandis was playing in "It" until recently. I always knew him as Bastian from "Neverending Story 2". It was good movie. It's was kinda shock to learn he died young.
Jonathan Brandis was the one who took me by surprise... I'd watched SeaQuest DSV a few years before he died.
Also, list is missing Heath Ledger who died way too young (he started acting at 13, so he should count as a child actor). Paul Walker also started acting at 12, and died at only 40.
Still miss Cameron Boyce 😭
I have epilepsy and I didn't really realize how serious that can be until recently. I hope that are all in eternal peace.
I have MS since 1983 and not trying to sound cruel but don’t you have parents or a doctor or access to google. Please educate yourself
Don't feel bad I'm 59 with epilepsy & I didn't realize it could cause you to die so suddenly until my brother-in-law died in his sleep a few years back.
@@batgurrl Really, neither my parents nor neurologist told me that seizures can kill you. I just know it because being diagnosed with epilepsy made me fall in love with pathology.
Miss you Cameron
And Anton. At least he was able to record the rest of his lines for Jim Lake Jr in Trollhunters. I sure do miss him.
I will never forget Gary Coleman but the one I fell in love with was Heather O Rourke who played the young girl in Poltergeist. Who knows what could have been in her future.
Jonathan Brandis was a great young actor .so very sad.the two Corey's bring back so many memories 😓i think the reason frusciante disappeared for years was guilt leading river astray.he said he was haunted by ghosts during that period when he was a recluse .
This hits hard to home. My older brother was cast in some British childrens show back in the early 2000s. It was called Sir Gadabout and they showed it on ITV. Some sort of comedy or something I never actually watched it. Anyway they paid my parents £10,000 for a 2 year contract. He was only 15 at the time. Anyway the show got cancelled and he was left high and dry. He thought he was going to be a famous actor or something. After that he went to all of these auditions but nobody hired him. He took his own life back in 2010. He was only 23.
Brittany Murphy what a doll! She was so talented and beautiful. Gone way too soon! ❤️
Just tragic that a lot of these young stars passed away.
I’ll say
They're all so tragically sad, Anton Yelchin and Jonathan Brandis are the ones that stand out for me as I was really a huge fan of theirs.
These are so sad. I was just watching a movie with Brad Renfro. It is a sad movie called The Cure. He also plays in Tom and Huck. Brittany Murphy dying makes it hard to see Girl Interrupted. Where she hangs herself. I remember River Phoenix. And Johnathan Brandis. And the girl FROM Poltergeist. And Dana White I remember. But the one that shocked me the most was the kid from Everybody loves Raymond. Because it is one of my favorite shows. I can't imagine going through that with one of your kids. Or being his twin. I remember they were afraid his brother would do the same thing. People who do this have no idea how much they hurts others.
Britanny Murphy was the sweetest and most heartwarming sunshine to ever cross this cold planet
Her character dies in two of her best movies, Girl Interrupted and The Dead Girl.
All these deaths are tragic, but River's hit me the most because he was so incredibly talented. Now we have to settle for Joaquin instead.
Anthon Yelchin and River Phoenix got to me the most.
I watched the Anton Yelchin's episode of Criminal Minds about one year ago and I felt sad for the character and a few months later I learned he died and in that way...I felt even worst.
After reading 'I'm Glad My Mom Died' it's by pure luck, imo, that Jeanette McCurdy isn't on this list. Hopefully she's beaten her demons.
Jennette isn't dead that's the only thing
But I agree with you tho considering everything she has been thru
Bobby Driscoll also passed away young too. Poor man. Disney throw him out because he was getting old for them.
I love your videos.
Another thing not mentioned is that Josh Evans played the young version of the Grinch in the Grinch starring Jim Carrey.
