A movie came out in 1962 starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford called “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” It was about a pair of acting sisters who had see saws of fame.. see Davis played a former child star who did not retain talent when she grew into an adult, but her younger sister played by Crawford who was in Davis’s shadow did become famous as an adult which say bitter resentment in the Davis character... it’s a good old flick that I recommend.
Anyway there has been examples of this happening in real life (with out the crazy part… as of time of posting). A recent end of a tv show got me thinking of this. Here are two big examples and if you know any please post about it:
Elizabeth Olsen - The Scarlet Witch of course is the little sister of the Olsen Twins.. an acting pair playing the youngest daughter in the popular Full House, a few movies and later having a kids merchandising empire. Now out of the limelight (the most recent things I have seen any of the twins in was an episode of “Weeds”) .. but Elizabeth who sometimes appeared in the Olsen’s direct to video specials went on and still having successful acting career.. headlining some big movies and TV series.
Kieran Culkin - Macaulay Culkin’s little brother. Now this one is sad. Because as Macaulay became the biggest child star of the 1980s.. it was alleged that Mac copped a lot abuse from his father. In fact the father of the Culkins sounded like an outright monsters and that abuse extended to whole Culkin clan.. it’s very sad. The Mac dropped out of the limelight after growing up (although does appear in viral videos for Red Letter Media and the AVGN) .. meanwhile Kieran who played Kevin’s little Pepsi drinking bed wetting cousin in the Home Alone movies carried on acting having a number of notable credits.. including playing Roman Roy a main character in the just finished successful HBO drama “Succession”
