Today's Blind Items - 18 And Done

Sometimes you lose track of people and their careers or you just don't talk to them as much as you used to and then get shocked when you do, by how much time has passed. Such is the case with this former A- list tween/teen actress who did multiple shows for both of the main kids' networks. She still isn't old enough to drink, but has been giving tips for so long that you forget how young she is and how long she has been in the business.

It had been a couple years since I heard anything from her or got any tips. I reached out though because I knew she worked with this hopefully about to be disgraced showrunner. I wanted to know if she had any stories about working with him and she didn't disappoint. It was a movie and animated and she says that all the adult actors never really even met with him during filming. They would speak on the phone and then the adults would go into a studio and do their thing and he would provide feedback or whatnot and tell them if they should do it again.

The kids though. That was a different story. She says that she had to go record her part only when he could also be there and he would sit right next to her or even have her sit in his lap so he could check her "inflection." Even as young as she was at the time and she was super young, she said it was creepy. She said she didn't know that only the kid actors had to go in to the studio with him until a few years later when she ran into an actress who was in her early teens when it was filmed and she said she also had to sit in his lap or across from him and that he would constantly touch himself through his pants while she was speaking and doing her part. He would rub himself against her and kept asking her if it was OK and if she liked it.

Our actress worked steadily she says until she was about 16. She knew what was what and went from one recurring or main role to the next. She says her mid teens were one guy after another wanting to have sex with her and the outfits they wanted her to wear. She says she was rarely allowed to wear a bra while filming and producers always told her if she wanted to keep getting roles she needed to be hot to not only teen guys but also to men of all ages. One of her shows she had to hook up with two executive producers, both of whom were married and also were former actors. They would alternate each day. She said she felt like a piece of meat.

As she moved into driving age territory, she got transferred from tween/teen type shows to the victimized daughter roles in television movies. This generally involved her being hit on by whatever actor was playing her dad. Yes, this includes this former A- list television actor who was married when he hooked up with her when she had just turned 18. She said once she turned 18 it was as if some timer had stopped and she couldn't get roles. She says producers and directors want the forbidden fruit of someone who is underage. She says now producers and directors don't want to give her roles but do want her on their arms and other places and she is trying to make it while living off some earnings and a new career that allows her to travel a lot and hoping to avoid yachting. Ideally she would love to keep acting and she has a massive fan base, but they follow her for sexy photographs and what they remember from her not that far in the past acting days rather than her current acting talent.
