Talk about someone who was chewed up and spit out by the industry. It's a trite observation, but this is more evidence that childhood fame usually doesn't end well. I'm wary of that any time I see child actors, no matter how good their performance is.
There are certainly a lot of child actors that go on to do great things as adults. Whether that be in acting or something else. The Fanning sisters are two of many. But there certainly are some awful stories of adult predators feeding on vulnerable children actors. Aaron Carter's story is so sad. Nick Carter too, but better in comparison.
