It was generally a good experience, but every day I'm glad I wasn't Olsen twins famous. Not many child stars make it out of Hollywood alive or sane, and at any given time there are at least three former ones having very public breakdowns.

Reminds me of a blog kept by another former child star who just happens to have costarred with Mara in Mrs. Doubtfire, and who just happened to have written recently about reconnecting with her after being apart for 15 years.

I wasn't a child actress, but I'm still a 40-year-old male virgin.Brooke Shields has said that being a sex object led her to feel like she wasn't in control of her own body, and is one of the reasons she didn't have sex until she was 22.
