TV child stars Where are they now?

Answer 1

In general, child stars grow up and go one of two ways, career-wise. They either remain in the public eye as actors or businesspeople, or they fade away and live relatively normal lives. Exceptions to this rule include Neil Patrick Harris and Mayim Bialik, both of whom were on television as young children and teenagers and returned to acting as adults.

Child actors who remained in the public eye include Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Lindsay Lohan, while child stars like Shirley Temple or Ralph Macchio from The Karate Kid lived life out of the spotlight.
