However, now, it seems like you have to get training or just be really lucky.
It almost seems like the world is that much emptier. There are many children out there way attractive enough to top any prior child actor, it seems, just that someone will be there to clown/monkey around and say that they aren't like people from a different generation. Old child actors can be seen as yesterday's news, but you could look into some of them differently if you locate them. I've been to childstarlets.com and have even held an account there. There are of course famous child actors, not many it seems, but people still insist they weren't the only best choice, which is probably very true. Too bad people were too poor to afford video cameras.
It also seems like people with moms who were 15 when they were born are only popular if they were born in the 1980s. They might tend to be quite fair, stimulated, and pretty.
