This week, Mara Wilson wrote a post on Cracked about why child stars tend to struggle later in life — this, on the heels of legal drama surrounding Amanda Bynes. Highlighting seven reasons child stars go crazy, she details thoughtful theories about parents' involvement, sexual exploitation, and the pressure of a large fan base. Mara, the star of '90s hits like Mrs. Doubtfire and Matilda, knows what she's talking about, and she's not the first to offer insights on child stardom. A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio, Drew Barrymore and Scarlett Johansson have shared their experiences growing up in Hollywood, and while some appreciated their career head starts, others have called out its downfalls. See what former child stars have to say about their early years in the spotlight!

Watch Drew Barrymore Do Jimmy Fallon's Makeup
Drew Barrymore appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon late last week to show off her new makeup line, Flower Cosmetics.

However, watching Jimmy and Drew duke it out in a drawing contest is a lot more entertaining. The two used eyeshadow, lipstick, and lip liner from Drew's Walmart makeup line as face paint.
