My Girl
A comedy about a neurotic eleven-year-old who lives in a funeral home with her widowed father has possibilities. But not when acted and directed with the eager pleadingness of a pilot for a TV series. Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Macaulay Culkin, and Anna Chlumsky; directed by Howard Zieff. 1991.

So I was sitting at home today and this was on TV. I hadn't seen it in a while and it made me wonder what happened to Anna Chlumsky? It was a fairly decent debut for her which she followed up with a less than spectacular sequel but then she faded from the sporlight. Was it another child star burnt out on Hollywood or was she simply taking a break to just be a kid and grow up? Macaulay Culkin hasn't done much of note these days either. Why do child actor's find making that transition to grown up roles so difficult. Drew Barrymore did it and has been successful.
