I can see it. Also, Jodie reminds me a lot of Bridget Fonda as well.

You know what? This topic is alright it's just concerns me that many of you guys are over preoccupied with prostitutes. Maybe Orson should rehabilitate you.

They were similar in both playing the same character, Addie Pray - Tatum did the film
Paper Moon
and Jodie did the TV show based on the film, which got cancelled during it's first season.
In an interview at the time, Tatum stressed her dislike for Jodie and said she'd like to avoid ever working with her if possible.
The other connection was the film,
Pretty Baby

• Polly Pratt, who worked with Tatum on the film,
  Paper Moon
  wrote the screenplay for
  Pretty Baby
  with Tatum in mind, but Tatum's dad, Ryan O'Neal, refused to allow her to do the film…he didn't want her playing a child proustite.
  Jodie was offered the role later but she turned it down due to having already played a proustite in
  Taxi Driver
  . and didn't want to become typecast as one.
  Many others tried out for the role, including Diane Lane, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Kristy McNichol, but Brooke Shields got the part.
  Are you okay?

Seann William Scott IK has been rumored to be gay due to kissing 3 different guys in 3 different movies, but that's all acting. And besides, he's married to some designer.

But yeah, working in front of the camera you have to stay fit and looking your best always. So I get it. Voice work is a lot more popular now. Like I saw that Martin Sheen does a lot of voice work.
Some celebrities do have private lives though. Most of them do. I don't know why others have such a hard time with it. Her sexuality shouldn't even be a factor but that's reality. I'm thankful that I still am attracted to men.

There were often stories about her female lovers in the tabloids.
Her first live-in girlfriend was the niece of Liberace.
Are you okay?

Wow Kristy dated Elizabeth? Elizabeth was sexy! I remember her from The Howling. I didn't know Kristy was a lesbian.

Tatum was the one with the drug problem…she had a very messed up childhood.
Kristy stopped working when her girlfriend died, actress Elisabeth Brooks (from
The Howling
). Her PR people probably used the bipolar excuse at the time, because Kristy wasn't 'out' as a lesbian then, even though it was pretty much well-known most of her adult career. Her bipolar disorder was something she battled since her late teens.
After the death of Elisabeth Brooks, she wanted a private life, but taught acting classes and did some voice work.
She had gained weight and probably didn't want to be in front of the camera.
Are you okay?

I felt bad for her. I liked her. Back then there weren't many black child stars that made movies for teens. So naturally I liked the movies she was in.
I could understand how fame can be overwhelming if you just aren't the type of person who likes that much attention.

I've never heard anything about drugs

Yeah and wasn't there a drug addiction? I feel like there was. I remember very little.

I guess she found it too stressful and wanted a private life after being in the spotlight most of her life. She was the breadwinner in her family as a kid and that was probably too much on her .

Oh yeah!! I remember that now. Well that's dumb. Why can't she still work?

Little Darlings was the movie they starred together in.
Kristy stopped working after she was diagnosed as bipolar.

Hmm I was looking at her imdb page. That's a beautiful photo they have of her.
Hey remember Kristy Mc Nicol? They started in a movie together. Now I remember Kristy quite well. And then I didn't see her on tv anymore.

Yes she is still acting!

Only in those examples. Otherwise, they are completely different. I don't think Tatum O'Neal still acts. I haven't bothered looking either. Is she?
