Fallen Angels - The Disintegration of Child Stars (Dana Plato, Tatum O'Neal, Corey Haim, and More) (Paperback)

Exposed to the excesses of stardom at a young age, some child actors fare better than others both in the continuation and evolution of a career and the maturity and guidance required to not implode psychologically.This book takes a look at the scope of child acting, the psychology behind nature versus nurture, coping skills, and profiles of some of the most infamous of child stars whose early fame led them down a dark, lonely path. Included are Dana Plato and the cast of "Different Strokes" in the late 1980s, Tatum O'Neal and her highs and lows, the Corey's of the 1980s, and the current child stars who struggle in public view to be normal children.Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.
