About This Tool
We have a saying that women change, and the same is true for stars, child stars are a group of people we watch grow up on the screen, they are lovely little Lolitas, now they have become little goddesses, of course, there are also young stars who have strayed from the path of beauty, no longer the way we imagined them to be, let alone.
The random-generated tool collates 22 entries and compares photographs of famous American and European women from childhood to the Middle Age to old age. Some of them don’t seem to have lost much of their looks, and some of them don’t look as cute as they used to. But they still occupy an important position in the history of film, for they have been fighting in the film circle and applaud.
