I love hearing about the "happy" side of acting for kids - child stars and former child stars included.  Ralph Macchio is today's case in point.  While I don't believe that his career path has been rose-laden, I do know that former child star Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid, Outsiders) is continuing to successfully forge his

It's fascinating to watch this old footage of Miley Cyrus we discovered online the other day. Especially to see how radically she's changed over such a relatively short period of time.  Disney is truely a star-making machine.  Miley was absolutely adorable, fresh and tom-boyish at this age; we completely understand why they hired her.
