It’s been a tough couple of years for Hollywood’s kid actors. Labor strikes and runaway production have made for less work. But like the rest of the industry, the professional kids are hoping to “leave 2009 behind” and jump into the new year with renewed energy! The CARE Awards (Child Actor Recognition Event) gives these talented kids
I had no idea Selena Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place) was an only child until watching this video clip from Dick Clark's New Years Rocking Eve 2010. She joins the unofficial club of many talented and successful singlets: Drew Barrymore, Brooke Shields, Robert De Niro, Natalie Portman, Al Pacino, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Lance Armstrong, Elvis Presley, Alicia Keyes, Charlize Theron,

Kara Kovalchik at Mental Floss posted an article about 5 former child stars who were the victims of poor parenting and apparent theft of their industry earnings.

In a compelling article for Movmnt Magazine, that is thankfully not dumbed down as another Broadway and Hollywood, east coast versus west coast tirade, Writer Matthew Murphy explores the career dichotomy of the child actor working on Broadway and one working in film or television. The ultimate question he asks being: which performance medium better
Not many people hold the title of both child actor and celebrity offspring simultaneously; even fewer hold those titles and transition successfully to television stardom by early adulthood. This makes Hayden Panettiere a rare breed indeed. According to a recent interview with "In Style" Magazine, one time child actor and now star of the hit
