In my previous post, I touched on “Where are they now?” when it comes to celebrities. I read an interesting article the other day about the “kid” who played young Forrest in Forrest Gump, one of my favorite movies. Michael Conner Humphreys is now a 23-year-old young man who is currently serving in the army like Forrest […]
We put in the movie Mrs. Doubtfire for the kids the other day, and I was curious about what happened to the youngest daughter in that movie, Mara Wilson, because I’ve always thought she was so cute. So I looked it up on imdb.com, and discovered that this movie is 15 years old already!!! Which
