Everything In Conversation: The Eerie Adultification of North West
B
10:08Beth McCollHOST
There were debates about her name days after she was announced to the world.
B
10:13Beth McCollHOST
Maybe it is slightly different than other child stars, but it almost feels worse in some ways.
B
10:18Beth McCollHOST
You really had a choice here, parents, and you chose the spotlight in this very vulnerable way.
B
10:24Beth McCollHOST
I just personally do think it's all a
B
14:42Beth McCollHOST
And I think it's really interesting.
B
14:44Beth McCollHOST
She's free in her family to deviate from the Kardashian aesthetic if such a thing exists.
B
14:50Beth McCollHOST
that I think no problem I have a slight problem that I'm seeing her being paparazzi'd outside of events swarmed at festivals and the fact that she is having this career I think even for the super rich childhood is a temporary state like you never ever get to repeat it and and literally you know we've had generations of child stars and nepo babies basically as long as we've had modern fame and say, here's a cautionary tale.
B
15:15Beth McCollHOST
This messed me up.

B
32:56Brett DasovicHOST
They're told that she took several drugs she purchased from her dealer on a flight from LA to South Carolina the day that, before she died, and authorities believe that she took an oxycodone the morning of her death, and they think that pill is the one that was laced with fentanyl.
A
33:10Amanda (Wicked Virtue)GUEST
That's, it's so heartbreaking when you see this, like child actors, and she really...
A
33:14Amanda (Wicked Virtue)GUEST
I actually just finished, uh, her book.
A
33:17Amanda (Wicked Virtue)GUEST
I got the audible, 'cause I like when they, like, read their own book.
A
35:36Amanda (Wicked Virtue)GUEST
Yeah.
B
35:36Brett DasovicHOST
And it's really sad.
A
35:38Amanda (Wicked Virtue)GUEST
Yeah, and we see it all too often with child actors.
A
35:40Amanda (Wicked Virtue)GUEST
Like, she was very young when she started, and that's great, like, her with her boyfriend, 'cause she, the, the father of her daughter, he was great, and they were really good together.
Ep. 9 - Quiet on the Set: Angelique Bates on Life Beyond "All That"
W
1:39Wyllisa BennettHOST
... my manager was like, "Welissa, since you are doing an interview with a child actor, you should read, you should go look at that documentary, um, Quiet On Set," 'cause it talks about-
A
1:53Angelique BatesGUEST
Hmm
W
1:53Wyllisa BennettHOST
... you know, child actors.
W
1:55Wyllisa BennettHOST
And I'm like, "Okay, cool." And you know, I had read Angelique's bio, and I-
A
2:00Angelique BatesGUEST
Uh-huh
29 MINS LATER
A
31:00Angelique BatesGUEST
Yeah
W
31:01Wyllisa BennettHOST

448 - IT Part 1 (1990)
P
19:21Paige WesleyHOST
Now, and I will bring up one more thing from that talk from the director.
P
19:26Paige WesleyHOST
Despite the fact that many of the child actors in this movie go on to do other things and actually be famous [laughs]-
T
19:33Todd SchlosserHOST
Yeah
P
19:33Paige WesleyHOST
... as adults-
1 HR 22 MINS LATER
P
101:40Paige WesleyHOST
They probably have a slightly larger budget than some movies because it's two episodes.
T
101:46Todd SchlosserHOST
Yes, it is.
P
101:47Paige WesleyHOST
But there's not a ton of set debt going on here for the, like, '80s to the '90s, and you've got a lot of child actors who can only work five hours a day.
P
101:57Paige WesleyHOST
And even in the '80s, that was mostly the case.
She Went From Child Actor to Casting Director - Here's What Class Cost Her | Gabrielle Foulsham
S
4:08speaker_0HOST
Yeah.
S
4:08speaker_0HOST
This, this is a bit of a funny one compared to some of our other guests because, yeah, you initially started out as a child actor, so-
G
4:16Gabrielle FoulshamGUEST
It's a weird one.
G
4:17Gabrielle FoulshamGUEST
[laughs]
S
4:17speaker_0HOST
Yeah.
S
4:18speaker_0HOST
So it's like, could you tell us a little bit about that? Because normally I ask people, how do you get into your field? But yeah, if you started out as a child actor, how, how does-
G
4:25Gabrielle FoulshamGUEST
Yeah
S
4:25speaker_0HOST
... how did that come about?
The Dark Truth Of Child Acting…
C
48:35Casey SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That is some evil shit to be making fun of, man.
C
48:39Casey SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And all the former child stars who don't fall victim to that stereotype live with it.
C
48:42Casey SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That's just how I'm doing, making music.
S
48:45speaker_16SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Don't ask me how I did it.
M
52:20Matthew BroderickSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I never did that
C
52:20Casey SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
before.
C
52:21Casey SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So the best analogy I can give about the former child stars who don't grow out of it, who let that be not just their personality, but their essence, the way it was for Howard Hughes, is the theater kid from your high school who graduates but comes back for every high school production.
S
52:34speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, let's see.

L
33:52Lena DunhamHOST

L

So by the time she's 16, everyone is ready for baby's first highly publicized cat fight with another Disney child star.
L
34:02Lena DunhamHOST

You know, like, this, because it was, like, my peers.

L
40:35Lena DunhamHOST

L
40:40Lena DunhamHOST
So Raven and Lindsay rented a place.

M
1:24Megan Mostyn-BrownGUEST
when I was like five, six years old, maybe younger than that.
M
1:28Megan Mostyn-BrownGUEST
And that led to a career as a child actor.
M
1:34Megan Mostyn-BrownGUEST
So wherever we moved a bunch and wherever we moved, I would work at the children's theater company there.
M
1:40Megan Mostyn-BrownGUEST
And then in sixth grade, we moved to Minneapolis, to a suburb of Minneapolis called Shoreview.
Joel Robertson: Why Physical Media Still Matters
J
95:35Joel RobertsonGUEST
Those, some...
J
95:35Joel RobertsonGUEST
I think the thing that can be said, like, without question, is something very sinister, uh, goes on in, like, the world of child stars, and it seems like no one comes out unscathed, really.
S
95:46ScarahHOST
No.
J
95:46Joel RobertsonGUEST
Even the ones who do-
S2E28: Dr. Mayim Bialik: Science, Skepticism and the Boundaries of Proof | Talk Tracks
K
3:13Kai DickensHOST
I love it.
K
3:13Kai DickensHOST
And, you know, being a child actor, like you probably had a weird school situation, I would imagine.
K
3:20Kai DickensHOST
At what point were you always interested in science and neuroscientists? Or when did that become such a passion that you're like, I'm going to leave everything and pursue it?
M
3:26Mayim BialikGUEST
Yeah, I'm a late bloomer to science.
