	Santa Monica Mirror: At The Movies: Child Stars are People, Too
		Child stars are arguably one of the weirder byproducts of an entertainment-driven society.
		Most turn out to be strange, in fact, that the term “former child star” usually refers to a sad person with a sad life, who has definitely seen better days.
		He plays poker with other has-been child stars, like Williams and Leif Garrett and “Screech” from “Saved by the Bell.” They talk of their glory days, and feel badly for Dickie, who wants nothing more than love from the audience he became addicted to.

		Former Child Star, which will premiere at the USA Film Festival in Dallas, in April, was born out of a fascination with "people who are once removed from each other," says Ryan, who is 29 and lives in Los Angeles.
		The film makes liberal use of the child-star cliché: the heroine, a former child star named Kimmy Archer, is driven to crime by percolating bitterness and an endless series of fast-food jobs.
		One of the hallmarks of the decade is a fascination with low-rent cultural references (who could have predicted the Kevin Bacon film festival?), and former child stars represent precisely the grade of celebrity that intrigues us.

		For a whole generation of television watchers, the fates of former child stars are like a bad traffic accident: we don't like to look at them, but we can't look away.
		Ever since the day '20s moppet Jackie Coogan subpoenaed his mother, former child stars have instilled in Americans a reflexive tingle of uneasiness, as if, somehow, we had to answer for no longer considering them cute.
		It was with an eye toward this morbid fascination that California filmmaker Joal Ryan began filming Former Child Star, a tale of faded celebrity and petty crime loosely based on the career of Dana Plato.

		Certainly this was the case during the Depression, when child stars such as Shirley Temple, Freddie Bartholomew, and Deanna Durbin were the motion picture industry's top box office draws, inspiring a global mania for child actors.

		Then comes that weird hump period when the "teen" actor is trying to make the transition to adult roles (even though he was probably playing teenagers well into his twenties and is finally, at the age of about thirty-two, starting to look like a grown-up).
		There's the period after that, when the whole graceful-transition-to-professional-adulthood turns out to be less like Jodie Foster's career arc and more like Mindy Cohn's, and the former child actor just has to take every role he's offered, even in execrable, moronic comedies and straight-to-tape actioners.
		After starting out as a good child actor in an actually good movie (Stand By Me), he went on to star in not just one but two long-running TV series (My Secret Identity and Sliders).
