1 Michael Jackson The
1. Michael Jackson. The King of Pop got his start as the adorable front-man for The Jackson 5. Eventually Michael achieved international success with his solo career, establishing him as musical legend. Unfortunately, his career was undermined by accusations of pedophilia and financial and legal troubles. In 2009 he died from an apparent prescription drug overdose. He was 50.
this is true but brandon lee wasn't a child star his first movie was at the age of 20
you do realize hes considered a child star because he started his career as a child right? child star doesnt mean they are still a child and around 50 is still really young he only lived half his life
I miss you mj soooooo much you were way tooo kind and good for this world people with dirty minds,greed,cruelty failed you i love you so much the best person.entertainer ever
wow that was depressing
this whole list so sooo sad especialy that girl that dies at 18 like dam! is being a child star that bad that they hav to take drugs or is it being in the spotlight at such a young age that messes them up..... really sad :(
Technically Micheal didnt overdose he was murdered by his doctor smh rest in peace michel
Brandon Lee? River Phoenix? Heath Ledger? Jonathan Brandis? Hello?
I rekon..River Phoenix should of been on hea..he starred in Stand By Me and i love that movie! I have da DVD..
MICHAEL JACKSON IS NOT A KID.
River Phoenix!?!?! Heather!?!? FAIL!!!
Hello, what about Heather O'Rourke from "Poltergeist"? She was only 12 or 13 when she died. And MICHAEL JACKSON in the number one spot? Seriously? I don't think former child stars are the only ones doing massive amounts of smack.
Where the f*ck is River Phoenix at? This list fails.
Why was River Phoenix not on the list?
Yeah exactly, where's River Phoenix?
Seriously, this list is just full of fail.
what about heath ledger
What about Jonathan Brandis? From Seaquest and the Neverending Story?
where's River Phoenix?!
But they have been child stars. That was the point.
While these deaths are tragic, someone who dies in thier late 40's or early 50's is not a child star dying too soon. They are an adult star. Sorry..
