There have been many child stars over the years. These are just some of my favorites in some of my favorite films that they made. I did not include all of their films, nor any made as adult actors. I tried to put then in (semi) order by actor and decade. Actors are: Shirley Temple, Natalie Wood, Tatum O'Neil, Henry Thomas, Noah Hathaway, River Phoenix, Elijah Wood, Joseph Mazelle, Brad Renfro, Anna Chlumsky, Christina Ricci, Mara Wilson, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Dakota Fanning, Abigail Breslin, and Asa Butterfeld.
P.S. Some of them definitely got mixed up by accident!
