Chapter 105 outdated child star

Do you know why the witch in "The Blair Witch" is called Blair?Because, the child star who played the demon girl in the 1973 horror film "The Exorcist" was named Linda Blair. Fame comes early, but no one does it sooner than child stars.They enter our daily life and everyday vocabulary early, and they enter our memory. Since the early 1920s, the British comedy master Chaplin made the eight-year-old Jackie Coogan play the five-year-old abandoned child in the film "Looking for the Son", making him the first child star in film history, God has been Keep giving us the "best gift" of children who appear in movies and TV.From Shirley Temple, Judy Gallen to Scarlett Johansson, from Chen Juanjuan, Zheng Xiaoqiu to Chen Tinghua, Cao Jun, Alpha, Zhang Yishan, from "Little House on the Prairie" to "Growing Pains", Until "The Sixth Sense", "Hide and Seek", "Little Miss Sunshine", from "The Lost Lamb", "Ah!From The Cradle to A Family With Children, from the Great Depression to World War II to the wealthy and flashy 1970s to today, they have been on the screen for generations, giving us the most real comfort in the most turbulent times.

But they paid the price for their fame, and they paid the full price.Premature fame, excessive attention, and premature entry into the adult world have brought them many psychological problems.They are not dolls, they have to grow up, and the image after they grow up may not be able to continue to be accepted by others. They either have to continue the glory of the past and continue to walk on the road of performing arts, or they have to enter the ordinary people and learn to adapt to the days without cheers .Therefore, drug abuse, alcoholism, and weird scandals are the things that most often happen to former child stars. Early death and depravity are not uncommon. In Hollywood, where the throughput of child stars is huge, they have a proper term "old child star". Some people attribute what happened to them to the "child star curse".

People must learn to grow up by themselves.Whether you are a child star or not, you must learn to grow up by yourself.Some of them worked hard to grow up, try to break the curse, or like Jodie Foster, stand on the Hollywood power list, or like Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, spend their youth safely. Sturdy adolescence, becoming a Hollywood successor, or like Ben Affleck, brilliant and mildly rebellious, but showing individuality, or like the actor of Harry Potter, who just turned 18 and performed naked in a drama , and became the richest person in the UK among teenagers aged 13 to 19.

Talented people come out from generation to generation, and a new generation of child stars is still emerging, and they are growing rapidly and arriving quickly, like a catalyst.For example, Dakota Fanning, our memory of her is still in the era of "Hide and Seek", but she is growing rapidly, and she has changed at the age of 12 - but at the age of twelve, she already has her own ideas, absolutely nothing. He did not hesitate to star in the child sexual assault theme "Hound Dog", and performed nude performances, wholeheartedly challenging Brooke Shields and Jodie Foster's record of playing child prostitutes at this age.

Immediately afterwards, new child actors took over, such as Abigail Breslin in "The Pageant Family" ("Little Miss Sunshine").However, she will soon grow up, almost like a willow tree, almost confusing us, and soon, she will face the troubles of becoming famous and transforming.Can they break the spell?Life, the strings are rushing, each has its own mystery.
