It seems every television and film era has its bunch of child stars. Young kids whose faces light up the screen and become a part of our lives with their innocent witticisms or wacky antics. While we all knew their faces back in the day, we often lose track of those stars once they grow up. We’re here today to take a look at some of the child stars who are synonymous with the 80s and reminisce on their early careers.
#1: Danny Lloyd
One of the few actors who became known as a character with the same name, Danny Lloyd played Danny Torrance in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. At just six years old, Lloyd took to the silver screen, running from a terrifying Jack Nicholson who played his father. After that, he played a Young G. Gordon Liddy in Will: G. Gordon Liddy, two years later before retiring from acting. Lloyd went on to become a professor at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College!
