Than she just mentioned that she's been acting for 17 (?) years and winning was a dream come true.

Aww that sounds really sweet. God has she been acting for 17 years? God that's like nearly her whole life

**LilMouse** · 09-17-2007, 04:31 PM

yea, she started when she was 11 or something like that. I guess to be successful at a young age you need to start as a kid.

yea, the stardom gets to their heads. But if you manage to not get caught up in the craziness being a child star is not necessarily a bad thing - like Jodie Foster.

I think that has alot to do with the parents too....parents lose control over their child and let them do whatever they want because they are the breadwinners. If they kept them grounded, it would help. I mean, the parents of Paris Hilton, Nicole Richtie, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan are soap operas in itself! No wonder the kids ended up like them!

Katie got on the best dressed list. Good for her. Emmy and best dressed list.

i really liked kh's dress last year more so than this year but both are gorgeous

...

it's a shame to see talent wasted in the young and the old but more so the young because it can be avoided if the parents act like parents instead of trying to be a friend....

**LilMouse** · 09-18-2007, 10:30 AM

mere - I also liked Katie's dress better last year. This years was classy, but too plain.
I hope we get to see what her wedding dress looks like.

I like what Jodi Foster's mom said to her. She said to fall back on something because she won't be acting forever -- having a plan is good advice.

**Jazz** · 09-18-2007, 01:45 PM

Well, like I said, alot of actors have their own businesses elsewhere as a fallback plan.

**LilMouse** · 09-18-2007, 06:08 PM

I always wondered how actors who don't work in years live.

Maybe they could be sat there, in their posh house they turn on the tv and see themselves on the screen on one of those Where are they now? shows

Oh god yes, Carrie Fisher is able to do her writing because of royalties from Star Wars.

one hit movie (or 3 in her case) can set a person up for life.
