Also "Hariett the Spy".

Fair actress. Maybe best known from 'Gossip Girl'
and as "Buffy's Sister".

Alas apparently started sucking down a quart, or two,
of booze every day. Had to get a liver transplant.

Also looked like she had an 'eating', ok NON-eating,
disorder afterwards.

Kinda faded quick and found dead at just 39

Kind of a 'spunky' character in her media work.
In real life, a disaster.

This happens to a LOT of "child stars" alas.
Not ALL, but a LOT. They get used, and then
tossed once they're not so cute anymore.

"Buffy" ... soap opera before, but she never
did anything of relevance after that vampire
show. Still see her name and face around, but
she's basically cruising on her residuals.
NO follow-on career.

Ok, weird bit in a Dwayne Johnson movie -
as a porn-actress turned talk-show gal ...
kinda like that :-)
