Children have been entertaining the masses since the beginning of the industry in the early 1900s. We've all heard the stories of "child stars gone bad" but WHY bad things happen is just a touch more complicated than the media wants to make it.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana (1863–1952), U.S. philosopher, poet.
