A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
John (and Joan) definitely count, I'd say.
Do you think it makes a difference, between men/boys and women/girls? Does one gender have it easier than the other, transition-wise? I think puberty tends to be a lot more dramatic among boys than girls, which would jeapordize the sales potential of a cute wittle face. And somehow, all these new "tween" stars -- now like 17 or something -- have all been girls.
I thought there were only three, Aimee! Do tell!
The Parent Trap: Hawaiian Honeymoon
t shakes head in shame
I haven't seen it, but it's there.
I would actually say it's cause of Disney she's still eating. They owned her as a child and her dad was an actor so she got some pretty sweet deals. I think she's still making money on "Let's Get Together" and her "albums".
Let's get together, yeah yeah yeah...
Only if you spell it right.
Who the hell are you talking to, crazy woman?

Dana Plato says no.

Because no one but me cares when Frankie Muniz turns legal. There's nowhere near the same sexpot market for boys. Who'll have a more decent career in 10 years, Frankie or Hilary Duff? Hard to tell.
I also think that the chicks will "lose" their looks later on -- there's maybe a late-20s gauntlet they need to pass. The boys -- suddenly you look over and Leonardo is not the beauty he was in R+J and he needs to re-solidify himself.

Saw the trailer for The Aviator when we saw Spidey.
I'm thinking that might do it.
Yum.

Curses! So earwormed....so ironic!!!
Was Bill Mumy already mentioned?
(I love The Parent Trap)
Mike Meyers was a child star.
Probably hopelessly late, but it took a while to put this together:
Born in 1962 (i.e., same year as me), with substantial IMDB credits both before and after 1982 (i.e., the 20YO mark):
Jennifer Jason Leigh (probably pushing it -- though she appears to have worked fairly steadily since 1978, 1982's Fast Times at Ridgemont High was probably the role that made her a star)
Adam Baldwin (second lead in 1980's My Bodyguard
Tom Cruise (2 movies in 1981, including a 5th listed credit)
Kristy MacNichol
Wendy Jo Sperber
Melissa Sue Anderson
Jodie Foster
Of names I recognized....
