How come she didn't make any more films when she was still young?


My Girl 2 was filmed when she was like 12 or 13, right? She filmed My Girl at 10, it was a shame she didn't become a star, I thought she was distractedly miscast in that one. Because she looked more like a 10 year old than an 11 year old.

She did make a few films as a teenager. Wikipedia notes she also did modeling.

I think she worked well in the my girl films.

Yeah, but I wanted to see more films from when she was a child.

I agree with you pinkarray. In the first My Girl, she was a great little actress and she did deserve to be in plenty more movies as a child.

She quit acting and went to college and then did some none Actig jobs.
I just saw her on Kelly Live.

Quitting acting when she was young is probably the reason why she has a career today.

Kids grow up fast. Its nice to enjoy an actual childhood.
