  1. DIBS;

    Actually Jackie Coogan made a ton of money as a child actor, but he never saw any of it. Basically, his guardians swindled it from him. It was a very famous case in its day, and led to legislation to protect children in such situations.

  2. Yes, and all four of them are from a period a long, long time ago. I suspect they made very little money back then as child actors. There certainly weren’t the issues with the media back then either. These days it’s different

  3. I just sort of assume most child stars end up giving hand jobs at Penn Station or something.

    Back when I was in the circus I did a gig at Disney World where we spent two days with all of these B list child stars teaching them how to do circus stuff. This was 1991. There were the kids from Honey I Shrunk the Kids, there were some mouseketeers, there were some kids of politicians (George H.W. Bush’s grandkid was there). I assume they’re all giving handies now. Except for Bush, he’s probably just doing lines of coke off a hooker’s ass.
