[quote="bostonman, post: 1429156, member: 4409"t just put me off. In her case,
I also regrettably list one actual child actor - I say regrettably, because I don't think it's great form to criticize young performers in general - but I've always thought that Danielle Brisebois, the girl who became the new regular character on All In The Family once Struthers and Reiner had left, was just out of her league. Not much spark on camera, and she always sounded like she was reading her lines for the first time. She was in the original cast of Annie on Broadway, so I tend to wonder if she was better suited for the stage than for the camera. But the result is that those set of episodes really went downhill. (I also think the departure of Struthers and Reiner had a lot to do with that, but casting Brisebois wasn't the answer.)
She is a successful singer/songwriter now. Sue wrote Unwritten and Pocketful of Sunshine for Natasha Bedingfield. She was also in the The Radicals
