Morgan Brittany

At the time I was growing up in the business I was very well established within the industry as a child actor and as I grew up and turned into a teenager there was less and less work.

The only time in my career prior to that I played an evil character was in 'The Twilight Zone'.

Most child actors go through that. Unless you can transition into an adult star, your career is over.

Drugs won't enhance your performance.

Hollywood has an obligation to watch what they put out there. Kids do imitate what they see - good or bad.

I feel bad about a lot of the movies I see that teach kids that if they do bad, they'll win.

Hollywood people want to build you up and make you famous only to knock you off you're the pedestal they built for you.

People are hungry for messages of hope and life.

Well, our children do know what this industry is about, but they have a good grip on who they are.

I had no real education because I was in and out of schools so I decided that I would completely change my look, change my image, change my name and move to New York.

I thought I would keep the first name Susan and change the last name but I picked up this book and as I opened it the lead character in it was called Morgan Brittany.

You have to work in this business on your own terms. Don't sell out for money, fame, or notoriety.
