It’s shocking how much pressure was placed on these kids at such a young age. I used to wonder what it would be like to be a child star, but seeing all the trauma they endured makes me grateful I never was one

"Why are so many men in Hollywood absolute creeps?"

Because they know they can get away with it.

Lindsay said that the president of Disney asked her at the premiere of The Parent Trap; "Where's your twin sister?" In fact, Jamie Lee Curtis herself asked the director which of the twins she would work with. lol

They didn't just rule Hollywood, they WERE Hollywood. They made our entire childhoods and I miss the 2000s. So much 😭

I agree that she should have been included on the list. Love this video! Please do more similar videos.

34:15 yes please!!! Do that issue 💓

While Elizabeth Olsen is today without a doubt more well known as an actress than her sisters (and is doing serious projects), Mary-Kate and Ashley will forever be iconic. And their transition from child stars and entertainers to founding a seriously respected fashion house is incredible. When most stars do fashion, fragrance or other merchandise, they do not achieve the quality or exclusivity MK and A have with The Row. The house has become one of the key players in the fashion and luxury market.

I think the Harry Potter cast was really lucky. Someone in this production must have protected them and kept them safe. It feels like they actually had the distinction of personal and professional life pretty clear!

Lacey is RUNNING Hallmark Movies, she is the reigning queen of that universe give my girl the credit she deserves 💘

I always had the feeling that Alexis Bledel was very underrated. Whenever she is given a chance —like in Gilmore Girls or The Handmaid's Tale, not a generic romcom— she passes the test with flying colours. She actually seems so nice and smart. I wish she could secure better projects

If this had released just a year later all the kids from The O.C. would've been in it

The golden trio did it right. It genuinely amazes me how, (despite all that pressure, fame, and stardom), Rupert, Dan, and Emma were able to remain so stable and successful. Props to them ❤

Also a crazy they didn't include Bree Larson or  Joseph Gordon-Levitt. And INSANE they would include Milo Ventimiglia but not Heath Ledger who was 2 years younger than him??? I'd argue that Heath is still a bigger star than Milo.

Teen magazine culture is something I probably miss the most nowadays and wish kids/teens had it. Maybe not necessarily the ones that focused solely on celebrity gossip, but there were a lot of worthwhile ones with fun quizzes, games, fashion advice, comics, trivia, even health and advice columns. I think the moment these fun tween magazines disappeared was when tweenhood as a whole disappeared and young girls started to act like adults from the age of 10 or so. There's nothing to "keep" them in that age, to let them enjoy and express themselves, everything is marketed towards babies or adults, and I think they could use a source of knowledge/entertainment that is a) offline b) has actually been fact checked by an adult before publishing c) encourages them to read something that isn't an intimidating wall of text.

When I say "Avengers, unite!", those are the Avengers I'm expecting.

A deep dive on "riches to rags" movies would be amazing (especially with a fashion focus).

hearing the words "brandy and mister whiskers" in 2025 truly rocked me

Of all these kids, Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes are heartbreaking stories. I always thought they had enough talent to become serious actresses. The same way Kristen Stewart, Kirsten Dunst and Alexis Bledel managed to shed the teen image and became serious actresses. Clouds, Sils Maria, Still Alice, The Handmaid's Tale, and Melancholia come into mind when I think of these actresses.

Loved this video; please do a follow-up for the 2008 issue!!

Alexis Bledel had a recurring role in Mad Men in 2012! Her character was super complicated and is one of the most memorable non-starring women in the show, to me :)
