Hollywood Child Actors: How did their life turn out?
История кинематографа | 05.11.2024Sometimes it seems that if you started acting in films as a child, then you will have a further stellar career. And if it's a Hollywood movie!.. However, in reality, everything is not so simple and sometimes the fate of a grown-up “little star” does not develop according to Hollywood canons at all.
Do you remember the name Michael Oliver? Probably not. And if you call the film "Difficult Child"? Yes, this is exactly the red-haired tomboy, the terror of the neighbors and the tireless inventor Junior. The charming red-haired boy became a star overnight. But after a few years, everything changed. Now Michael Oliver works as a music technician, is married and, in his own words, is happy.
What can hardly be said about Edward Furlong, the performer of the iconic role of John Connor in Terminator 2. The film was an incredible success and the young actor was predicted to have a bright future. But fame turned the head of a thirteen-year-old teenager. Later in his biography there were problems with the law, with alcohol, shooting in low-budget films. In 2019, Furlong starred in the film Terminator: Dark Fates. The film, alas, was not a success.
Anna-Sofia Robb is a career Violetta from the movie “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". The girl's talent and charm were fully present, but, unfortunately, in adulthood, there were practically no bright projects in her film career.
Mara Wilson became a star after her first role in 1996. It was the movie Matilda. However, later she made a choice in favor of getting an education. After receiving her university degree, Mara decided to resume her acting career, but without success. She is currently working in film voiceover.
Ariana Richards actively starred as a child. Her most striking work was the role of Lex Murphy in Jurassic Park: The Lost World. But now Ariana is known as the winner of the National Oil Painting Competition among professionals. It is known that one of her works was acquired by Steven Spielberg.
Noah Hathaway is the little star of the movie “The Neverending Story.” After the success of the film in 1984, Noah stopped acting for a long time, and it was his own conscious choice. He returned to cinema in 2012. However, his real hobby is martial arts. Noah has black belts in tansudo and setokan, owns Thai boxing and American kempo. He has his own business - design and sale of motorcycles.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are two charming twin sisters who starred in films and TV series for several years, but then chose the modeling industry. Now they are both fashion designers.
