I saw a post which drifted from the point of its title in this section so I thought I would improve it and start a new thread.
What is your favourite child star. I'm laying down the rules. The child star can be new or old (eg. Shirley Temple if you want!). You must state at least one film that you thought they were particularly good in.
I loved Dakota Fanning in I Am Sam. She would be my favourite child star of recent times.
I have to also say Ricky Shroder in The Champ in 1979.
Great performances from both of these fine actors.
Incidentally, as a side note, what has happened to Mara Wilson of Matilda, A Simple Wish and Miracle on 34th St fame. I saw her last in Thomas and the Magic Railroad as a teenager. Her performance was poor, but that is probably because of the terrible writing and directing. Peter Fonda was also poor in that film. Shame.
