Which Child Singers and child Actors Have Impressed You Most?

I was never really a Shirley Temple fan because I felt she was too precocious. But I admit she had a ton of talent.

Mickey Rooney on the other hand was an absolute whirlwind. He could to it all.

It seems like cute talented kids in film are not as popular as they were in the '30s, '40s, and '50s.

I admire the ones that can remain relatively normal when they’re adults. They’re under a lot of pressure.

Lena Zavaroni. The little girl with the big voice was ten when she appeared on Opportunity Knocks, singing "Ma! He’s Making Eyes at Me." She was eleven when it was a hit and 13 when she was diagnosed with anorexia, a barely known illness then, called "the slimmer’s disease”. Before she died in 1999 the girl from Rothesay on the Scottish island of Bute had hosted her own TV shows, performed at the White House and shared a stage with Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball. She remains the youngest artist ever to have a record in the Top 10 UK albums chart.
