Judith Barsi’s story never fails to break my heart. Whenever someone talk about tragic child star stories, she’s the first person that comes to mind as she would have been 46 years old, using her platform for charities combating domestic violence, alcoholism, and child abuse.
Seconded, it breaks my heart that her dad cut her and her mother's life so short. Who knows what she could have accomplished in her adulthood, if not for her untimely death. 😭💔
I’m a 29 year old aspiring actor with Cerebral Palsy. I was 24 years old when I heard Cameron Boyce died. The tragic news gave me a new perspective as to why my parents wanted me to start my acting career later in life and I learned to never take the small experiences of life for granted ever again. I loved Jessie.
@@Hectorferjr2 Best of luck with your acting career, I hope that you receive plenty of opportunities. Your parents sound really down to earth, and it's wonderful that they support you.
@Hectorferjr2 LOVE 💗 THAT N BTW I’M A 34 YEAR OLD WHEELCHAIR BOUND USER WITH SPINA BIFIDA N WHAT I MISS ABOUT HIM IN JESSIE N ESPECIALLY IN THE DESECENDANT’S 1,2,3 (N THE CARTOON VERSION WAS THAT IN THE DESCENEDANT’S 1,2,3 MOVIES WAS THAT THERE WAS A WOMEN IN A WHEELCHAIR IN ALL 3 OF THE MOVIES WHICH INSPIRED ME JUST TO WATCH AS ONE OF MANY OF US ADULT’S KID AR AT HEART FANS N ALSO I WATCHED DESCENDANT’S THR RISE OF RED MOVIE 3 TIMES ALREADY N I LOVED IT (N I NEVER WAS NOT GONNA WATCH IT CAUSE CAMERON BOYCE WAS NO LONGER IN IT N/OR CAUSE DOVE CAMERON,EVIE CARSON N BOO-BOO STEWART WERE NOT GONNA BE IN THE MOVIE CAUSE THEY DIDN’T WANNA DO IT WITHOUT CAMERON) ONE OF THE MAIN MANY REASON’S WHY I WATCHED THE NEW MOVIE WAS CAUSE IT’S WHAT CAMERON WOULD OF WANTED N ALSO WATCHING THE MOVIE WAS THE BEST WAY TO HONOR HIM
I really wanna see Cameron doing something cool on Broadway. He could've been in Newsies! That show has a heavy dance break where he could've done something cool. Shame that we will never get to see that. Theater should've been his home, he deserves to be in Broadway
He's been one of my favorite actors since he was a kid recently found out heartbroken about it. Everyone will miss Cameron Boyce and everyone else that has died young
One of the most heartbreaking things I’ve experienced. My daughter was 10 when Cameron Boyce passed. She’s always been young for her age. Jessie was one of her most favorite shows, and she loved Descendants! She was watching Jessie, and my husband was on his phone and exclaimed “oh my goodness that kid from Jessie died, Cameron Boyce.” My daughter turned slowly and said “what did you say? Cameron died?” She quietly got up, and went to her room. She was gone for a bit. I went upstairs, and her door was cracked. She was sitting on the edge of her bed. Her back to me, and her head down. Her shoulders were shaking. I could halfway see her face, and tears were hitting the floor. It was this hard, silent, cry. You could barely hear her. She cried so hard, and was so heartbroken! It broke my heart. She just didn’t understand. In her mind, someone that young doesn’t just die, and she really liked him. Not like a crush. She admired him, and looked up to him. She was gutted, and cried for several days. I was so sad that she sat her room alone, and bawled her little heart out. We’re not really religious, but she lit a candle for him at the church down the street, and one for his family. It was the first time a celebrity had died that she liked and it was hard for her.
Omg this is so tragic hopefully your daughter is feeling better now yeah I was so shocked like everyone and Jessie was one of my favorite Disney shows when I was young and it still doesn’t feel real that he died and it’s been like 5 years now but man so tragic hopefully his family is hanging in there 😔🙏🏿👍🙏🏿❤️
I feel like if Cameron was still around he probably would’ve gone to the premiere of Descendants: The Rise of Red and loved all of the characters and songs especially considering that one of the songs is What’s My Name
Agreed, I had no idea that Michelle had passed away until recently, I loved her as Myra. Judith Barsi would be my favourite tragic child actress. They all deserved much better.
Judith Barsi’s story breaks my heart immensely. But it also angers me. How could a father commit such evil things to his own family and then stoop this low to just murder them? All because he was so jealous of his daughter’s successful movie career? If my dad was her father, he would be so proud of her and embrace her with hugs and kisses. But not József Barsi. He was no father to her. He was a heartless monster with no devotion whatsoever.
There's a documentary about Anton Yelchin called "Love, Antosha". It's an amazing look at an incredible person gone way too soon. We miss you, Anton. 💔
It's truly saddening that Cameron Boyce died in his sleep from a seizure, he wasn't taking drugs or anything it was entirely not his fault, we all miss him immensely 😔😭 R.I.P 💐
Similar thing happened to a colleague of mine, Aiden. He suffered a Grand Mal in his sleep. His mum found him in his bed - he was 3 years older than me. He would have been 42 this year. There is some comfort that both men were safe and warm in bed and asleep, so neither would have known.
@@KittyKatt_Luna80s very sorry for your loss. I think the scary part about both men is that they thought they were going to see another day but at least they died peacefully in their sleep
I always felt sad about Judith Barsi as well, I mean she was starting out as a cute child actor from voicing Ducky in The 1st Land Before Time and Anne-Marie in All Dogs Go To Heaven. 😭✝️ She doesn't deserve the abused by her sinister father, he's jealousy to his daughter truly is a cruel father.
@@TheImaginator972 Yeah. How could a father be so evil to that poor child? Fathers are supposed to be nice, friendly, protective, and dedicated to their children. But from the way he acted out towards her, I can see it in his heart that family meant nothing to him. He had no devotion to her and her mother at all. That man was evil.
@@kathrynhill5796true but not ever father is a father alot of them are child molester and abusers same with a lot of so called mothers out there it's sad it really is but that's the world we live in
So many of these child actors either overdosed or committed suicide. And dealt with mental health issues. It takes on a whole new meaning since the Nickelodeon special came out. How many of them were abused? The industry needs to be fully investigated. RIP.
Not all these kids were of the same time period. Judith would be alive today if social workers didn’t take Maria’s word for it. However the rest of these were all medical malfunctions that are just baffling that it can happen to that many young people
Not everything about the industry is nefarious. It's unfortunate what happened to these young people but don't jump to conclusions just because the industry has at times been the blame for others. I'm sure the ones who had mental issues had their own personal demons not associated with their career in the business. RIP to all of them.
@@melissareed3948 we can agree to disagree then because I’ve talked to some in the industry that have been in it for decades and they say it’s far worse than we know.
Corey Haim always first to come to mind about child stars. Corey Feldman has always talked so kindly of him. In the late 90s and early 2000s, I thought Jodie Sweetin may end up like these kids but luckily she stopped her meth abuse and got her life together. So, there can be happy endings to child stars but unfortunately, not all. RIP stars.
If you don’t mind, I’d like to add one name to the list: *Logan Williams* He starred in The Flash and played the child version Barry for flashback scenes. He was battling addiction since he was 9 years old and died of an opioid overdose at 16. The entire cast was crestfallen to losing one of their own, saying the only thing he loved more than acting was skateboarding
I would've loved to see him something cool on Broadway. Maybe Newsies where he would've been awesome in that, such a shame that we will never see that 😢
I suffer from epilepsy just like Cameron, and i was devastated when i heard he passed away from the same illness i'm suffering from, Carlos from Descendants was my favorite

Met Lee Thomas Young before Famous Jett Jackson but during his popular Robutussin commercial. He was extremely sweet and down to earth. That one hurts the most

In the new Descendants Rise of Red movie, there was a tender moment of when Uma emotionally asked Fairy Godmother to send Red’s Auradon invitation to Wonderland, in memory of Carlos. I think that was the most touching thing they have ever done.❤😢 RIP Cameron.

All these deaths are so sad. Cameron's hit hard as I grew up with him on Jessie. And Anton, was an amazing actor thst definitely died way to soon! As did all of these stars!

The creepiest thing is that my brothers name is also Kevin Clark, he was a drummer, and he absolutely loved that movie. It makes it so much more sad to me.
Judy Barsi is by far the most tragic of these stories, she was amazing in Land Before Time and All Dogs Go To Heaven, but all these young actors should have had a wonderful fruitful life. It's just sad, at least their work will never be forgotten and in the same vein neither shall they.
i remember when cameron died. I grew up watching him on jessie and descendants. I was devastated when i found out (the same day as he passed). Its weird how you can mourn a person you've never met nor knew personally💔 RIP Cameron Boyce
I will never forget the day I learned that Cameron Boyce had died. My mom, sister and I were staying with our older sister when Cameron Boyce died. My older sister loved Cameron Boyce. I woke up to my older sister crying and then she quietly told me that Cameron Boyce had died. I didn’t know what to do. It didn’t even feel real. I grew up watching both Jessie and then later on Descendants. I was shocked. I didn’t know what to do. It seemed unreal. I’m about to turn 20 in two weeks. I can’t imagine dying right now or in the coming year. Like…it’s so young. You’ve barely gotten to live your life. You’re just barely an adult. I can’t imagine dying so young. And considering how bright a soul Cameron Boyce was it’s even more tragic ❤️

I got very VERY emotional when I heard Kevin Clark died. He was one of my main inspirations to start taking drum lessons because I had such a huge crush on him. I'm 34 and still playing.
I don’t think this generation will ever get over Cameron Boyce. I remember when I first got the news and I literally broke down. I grew up with his work, I loved everything about him and loved every second. Dude was only 5 months older than me. So it was definitely a scary thought of my own mortality and how young a person can leave us. I now have boyfriend who also struggles with seizures and it’s a scary thought that I could lose him too
May all these actors rest in peace and be happy and comfortable in heaven, knowing that their memories and their love from people all around the world will keep them remembered❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️😇😇😇😇👼👼👼👼👼👼👼😊
My daughter grew up with Jessie and Descendants. We watched together. We were both heartbroken when Cameron Boyce died. She‘s 20 now and every time when we watch him our eyes still tear up. He was such a precious young man. RIP Cameron and all the other young actors who tragically lost their lives way too soon.😔🕊️🙏🏽
Growing up all I knew about River Phoenix was that he was a young actor who died from an overdose and he was Joaquin Phoenix's brother. I never watched any of the films he was in, but one day decided to watch Stand By Me and boy was I blown away from his performance. I then began to check out other films he was in like Running On Empty, My Own Private Idaho, Dogfight, I Love You To Death, Indiana Jones and Last Crusade, etc. and wow what a talent he was. And from interviews I've seen he had no interest in fame or accolades which was also refreshing to see. I'll always wonder what could've been had he not passed away so young.
Same here, I knew about him for many years. I saw Stand By Me in high school once and I knew he is the older brother to Joaquin. I thought he had a captivating performance in Running on Empty. I’ve watched several of his other films as well. He was such a natural talent.
Corey Monteith should be added in here. He was in Glee as Finn Hudson, he had drug issue. And died from an overdose on July 13th, 2013. Glee then did tribute for in an episode of the quarterback. He was only 31 years old when he died
First off, I'm surprised Cameron Boyce isn't #1. His death hit hard when everybody heard what happened to him. Second, out of all of these people, Cameron is the one who I feel sad for the most😥. He was so young. I remember watching him from Jessie, Grown Ups 1 and 2, and of course, Descendants. It's not the same now that we know that he's no longer here with us. He was such a cute and funny person. It's sad that his life was cut short. He had so much to live for. That was the only con of 2019 that we lost one of our favorite Disney Channel stars. R.I.P. Cameron🙏🏿🕊💐🕯. You were a talented young man, and now you can share your talent in the gates of everlasting Heaven. You are missed😔
I agree and Judith Barsi didn’t deserve to be killed. I feel like if she or Cameron was still alive. They would both be very successful and they both rest in peace.😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
RIP Bobby Driscol The VA Behind Disney Classic Peter Pan (1953) his life post Disney was turbulent so much It got referenced In 2022's Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers with the now middle aged Peter Pan voiced by Will Arnett
Also Judith Barsi was in the middle of a movie production when her father killed her and her mother. The movie was called all dogs go to heaven. Luckily she finished all the recordings before she passed. May they all rest in peace.❤🕊️🕊️😭😭
Shannen Doherty could be added to this. One of her earliest roles was on Little House on the Prairie as the niece of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Her most well-known role was as Brenda Walsh on Beverly Hills 90210. She passed this weekend at 53 after a prolonged battle with breast cancer.
This list was for child actors who died at a young age. 53 isn’t young. I’m suprised that the actor who died at 29 even made it on the list since 29 is young but not that young.
Cameron Boyce I always love in Jessi and Descendent movie fancies it’s really shock me that he die all of a sudden out of nowhere and I love the actor cause he was generally a nice & wonderful guy in real life R.I.P 😢 Cameron Boyce
Why do these talented Child Stars have to die young? Especially Cameron Boyce and Judith Barsi. Cameron Boyce just turned 21 at the time plus he played amazing characters from Disney like in Jessie and Descendants for example, but he died because of some illness or something. Judith Barsi's death is even more tragic all because of her very abusive father, she was amazing as Ducky and Anne Marie and now she's no longer with us.😞💔
RIP to all these celebs 😢 ,I remember a lot of these celebrities,so sad, though I felt for Josh Ryan Evans,I watched the soap Passions, while he had a type of dwarfism, I have Turner's Syndrome so I can relate to being short, and have medical issues with it, all these celebrities may they RIP, and all of the movies and shows brought back memories ❤️
R.I.P. To all of the Child Stars who Died to Young they have so much to offer to the World. Fly High with Angels 😢💐🙏👼🌹🥀❤️💔🕊️🕯️💜✝️ I Miss Cameron Boyce, Michelle Thomas, Brittany Murphy, River Phoenix & Judith Eva Baris who was Only 10 year's Old and her Mother Maria who was Murdered by her Low Life Father🙏😢
I grew up with River Phoenix and Corey Haim. There death's hit me really hard. R.I.P to all the wonderful actors and actresses that we lost way to soon. 🙏😪
I had SUCH a crush on Jonathan Brandis when I was a teen. Sad he took his own life. It’s sad any of these young people passed away before a life well lived.
