Have you seen the VH1 series "The 100 Greatest Kid Stars of All Time?" For a pop culture enthusiast like me, it's a great little package of interesting tidbits. And a nice walk down memory lane.
It's a five-part series, so I've only seen the first two night's worth, but I've already learned a ton.
For instance, did you know that Peter Olstrum (the kid who played Charlie in the 70's film "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory") is now a veterinarian on a dairy farm? And Alison Arngrim (aka Nellie Olsen) does a one woman comedy show, rehashing her "Little House on the Prairie" days. Lara Jill Miller, the youngest daughter from the show "Gimme a Break," was a lawyer for a while, but now she does cartoon voice over work. And Candace Cameron Bure, formerly DJ on "Full House", is HOT now-- and she's a mom of three to boot!
So far they've showed the first 40 people on their list, and I can't help but wonder who the other 60 will be. How can they choose a mere 100? Because there's been so darn many great kid stars over the years!. ike, whatever happened to that adorable kid Ricky Segall from "The Partridge Family?" Will he be remembered? And what about the girl who played the annoying Margaret on "Dennis the Menace?" And how many Bradys will make the list? No doubt about it, this show is a pop culture fanatic's dream come true!
Stay tuned.....
