The life of a child star is a tough one, and many of them continue to have a tough life when they turn to adults. Unfortunately, many child stars don’t even make it to becoming an adult due to everything from drug addiction, to suicide, tragic freak accidents like Star Trek’s Anton Yelchin. Many child stars suffer from depression, and turn to substance abuse to deal with the pressures of being a celebrity at such a young age.

  1. You should have also included the child actress who voiced Ducky from The
    Land Before Time. Her death is so horrible.

  2. It’s so sad when people kill themselves. Everyone goes through frustrating
    periods, but as long as we’re alive, there’s a chance to make things
    better.

  3. I remember seeing Heather O’Rourke before that last Poltergeist movie and I
    remember thinking she doesn’t look right. Her face was all puffy
