The guy who was the male lead in 'Babes in Toyland' became homeless several years after that film, too. I wonder why?
:(

Jodie Foster and Kurt Russell turned out okay...

Yes, and poor lovely little Matthew Garber came to a bad end as well. Karen Dotrice turned out okay, too.

:( I had no idea either. Here's more info:

I wonder if any of this had to do with fame early in life, or if it's just a coincidence, and we notice it more when it's someone we "know".

okay, this is better info than I had. So I revise, poor lovely Matthew Garber did not come to a bad end, but a tragically young end. I only found this out by watching the extras on the Poppins DVD. I'm relieved, as far as this reports, that it was not yet another in a long line of former child actor drug-related ends. Nevertheless, so sad, he was an adorable boy. This reminds me, is The Three Lives of Thomasina on DVD?

Isn't "fairies" kinda derogatory? Wouldn't "homosexuals" be better?

Oops, wrong film.

Its a good thing fairies don't come every time someone claps. It would be a helluva mess to clean up.
