Other panel members include The Partridge Family's Danny Bonaduce and Margaret O'Brien who appeared in many notable films, including Meet Me in St. Louis. The actors talk about protecting kids from unscrupulous family members who spend their children's earnings, the quality of education offered on TV and movie sets, and the problems child stars often have with maintaining positive relationships with peers outside the industry and their own family members. The panel members also talk about how difficult it can be to enter adulthood once fame is gone. ~ Elizabeth Smith, Rovi
