KIDS
Posted: October 6th, 2007, 2:19 am
This is basically just a thread for thoughts on any kid actors you might like, or have questions about. I put it under DRAMA because, you can almost always bet when a kid is in a drama, you're going to get a crying scene.
Did anyone ever mix up Virginia Weidler and Jane Withers? I used to all the time, and wondered if I was the only one to see the similarity in them.
I was watching the Ghost Whisperer tonight and as a guest, I noticed the name of Mae Whitman. This little girl, who is now nearly 20, has been around for quite a long time. She was the daughter in Hope Floats w/Sandra Bullock and she was mesmerizing in the scene where her daddy was leaving. If you've seen the movie, you know what I mean - that was her daddy and you could feel her torment. During her years from about 7 to 11, she was all over TV and movies, then suddenly she disappeared. I missed her because I always enjoyed her performances. Then here she pops up tonight. I looked her up on imdB and find, she's been around all this time, just took a break from in front of the camera (per se) and has done a lot of voice work in cartoons and such. I'm glad she's back, although I'm not thrilled with the movies she's in. I only hope she doesn't go the way of the screameramas.
Also, does anyone know whatever happened to the middle sister in Meet Me in St. Louis - Agnes (Joan Carroll), imdB says she retired in 1956, but to where and did she never return to H'wood?
