"Former child star Mara Wilson has written an article outlining the main reasons child stars &amp;#039;go crazy&amp;#039;. Wilson, who appeared in her first film Mrs Doubtfire when she was just 6 years old, also talked about the behaviour of actresses such as Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus.  She wrote on cracked.com: &amp;quot;If I were to talk to Lindsay Lohan, I&amp;#039;d encourage her to get the hell out of acting and into something soothing. Take up botany or something. &amp;quot;But she wouldn&amp;#039;t be likely to listen to me - and not only because I&amp;#039;m younger and way less hot than her. It&amp;#039;s because she&amp;#039;s been acting all her life, she has little education, and in her mind, there&amp;#039;s nothing else she could do.  &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s likely to keep doing it even if she&amp;#039;s making herself - and maybe also the people she works with - miserable.&amp;quot; Wilson also suggested that child stars can struggle to deal with fame in instances where &amp;quot;they get used to love and attention - and then lose it&amp;quot;, or because &amp;quot;their parents won&amp;#039;t help them&amp;quot;.  Wilson said that she believes that she is one of a very few number of child stars that have made it to adulthood having handled the pressure of fame, and recalled many incidents from her career before she retired at 13 .  &amp;quot;When I was 7, I went to the premiere for the movie Nine Months,&amp;quot; she wrote. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t remember much about the movie beyond Hugh Grant stammering and some placenta jokes, but I do remember a red carpet reporter asking me my opinion about Hugh Grant getting busted for prostitution.  &amp;quot;My father called the station the next day to suggest that they, you know, not talk to a child about soliciting sex. But he was rebuffed, and the complaint was ignored. Even then, as a kid, I knew that parental power was gone.&amp;quot; Wilson also discussed finding herself on a foot fetish website dedicated to child actresses and being showered with presents from co-stars. She added: &amp;quot;[CGI] technology is improving all the time. Considering all the legal hassle [that] child stars can be, I won&amp;#039;t be surprised when they are phased out by CGI children voiced by adult actors.&amp;quot; Child stars who&amp;#039;ve struggled with fame - photo gallery:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
