MOVIES Child actors

When you hear the phrase "child star," your thoughts probably go first to the Miley Cyruses and Macaulay Culkins of the world. The child stars we remember are normally the ones who continue into adulthood under the spotlight.

Less likely to spring to mind are those child stars who were only famous for a fleeting moment. But in fact there are plenty of child film stars who, for whatever reason, only made one or two major movies. Perhaps they decided after that major role that the industry wasn't for them, or perhaps they struggled to find work after their initial success.

Either way, there are plenty of former child stars out there who are pretty much one-hit wonders. Check out this gallery to see who they are.
