They became popular in childhood. Children with a doll-like appearance, whose photographs have spread all over the world, almost from infancy have become accustomed to the light of the spotlights and the adoration of their fans. Their success was followed by millions of viewers who were touched by their spontaneity and beauty. How is their life going today, have they managed to preserve their charm and unclouded outlook on life?

Ira Brown

This blue-eyed blonde beauty became famous when she was two years old. Her parents were determined to make their daughter a famous model. I must say that they did it quite well. Photos of a living doll flew around the Internet with lightning speed, the girl became a real star. At the same time, the baby herself enjoyed the photo sessions and the endless change of outfits.

The eight-year-old model is still in demand today as it was at an early age. She participates in fashion shows and photo shoots, patiently endures makeup and hair styling. Only her blue eyes got a little more serious.

Alana Thompson

Cutie Boo-boo, while participating in a children's beauty contest, charmed everyone not only with her external data, but also with her bright openness. This little girl, who performed under the pseudonym of Hani Bubu (the girl's home nickname) really felt like a queen, behaved quite confidently in front of the cameras. Later, the whole family of the cutie Boo-boo was invited to take part in a reality show. Many video cameras were installed in their house, and the family's life was monitored around the clock. After the scandal with the girl's mom's new boyfriend, the show was quickly closed.

Today Alana Thompson is already a teenager, and the features of a 6-year-old cutie in her are hard, but guessed. The girl is very fat, but she does not consider this a problem. She came to a show in which her mother, who was determined to lose weight, participated. But Alana very quickly realized that the daily restriction was not for her, and decided that she was surprisingly good at any weight. From time to time, photos of her appear on the network, but we are no longer talking about the former popularity.

Richard Sandrak

This boy was not only handsome, but also the strongest child in the world. When the baby was 2 years old, his family moved from Ukraine to America, where the father was tirelessly engaged in the physical development of his son. At 8 years old, the boy won the title of the strongest child and became a mega-star. He was constantly invited to television and was called little Hercules.

Under the guidance of his father, Richard continued training. At the same time, he practically did not have a childhood. He was forbidden to walk with friends, to eat tasty but unhealthy food. The father of little Hercules was accused of child abuse, and later convicted of beating his wife. At the same time, Richard himself turned to the police, who then completely broke with his father. Today Richard works as a stuntman, but flatly refuses to swing again. He is already 26 and is quite satisfied with a normal life, without exhausting training.

Anne Turner Cook

The portrait of this little girl was painted in charcoal by the Turner family's neighbor, artist Dorothy Hope Smith, at the age of five months. Two years later, in 1928, Gerber chose this design to fit on the packaging of their entire line of baby food.

Today, Anne Turner Cook is 90 years old, earning her Master's Degree in Teaching English, teaching literature and creative writing. Leaving her teaching career, Anne Turner Cook took up writing mystical novels.

Eva Ionescu

This girl-woman became famous thanks to her mother, Irina Ionesco. As a professional photographer, she made her daughter her favorite model. When the baby reached school age, her pictures became frankly erotic. When Eve was 11 years old, her pictures appeared in Playboy, then there was participation in the film by Roman Polanski "The Tenant" and quite scandalous shooting in the non-childish film "Dissolute Childhood". The girl's mother was deprived of parental rights, although after that she did not stop selling erotic pictures of her daughter.

Today, Eve is 53 years old, she became an actress and film director. In 2011, she directed the film My Little Princess, which has a clear autobiographical line. And an attempt to explain to the mother how much pain she caused to her own child.

Elena Gerinas

Her photograph won a competition announced by the management of the Krasny Oktyabr confectionery factory to develop a corporate identity for the packaging of Alyonka chocolate. The photo of the 8-month-old daughter was taken by her father, and before the appearance of the chocolate on the wrapper, Elena's photo was published in two magazines.

In 2000, the already adult Elena Gerinas tried to sue a confectionery factory for the misuse of her photo, but she lost the claim. It is worth noting that when creating a hand-drawn portrait based on a photograph of little Elena, her facial features and eye color have changed.

JonBenet Ramsey

The six-year-old girl has become the winner of numerous children's beauty contests, won many titles and awards. However, her life was tragically cut short. The baby's body was found on December 25, 1996 in the basement of her parents' house with traces of violent death. Investigative measures were unsuccessful. The murder has not yet been solved.

Brooke Bradwell

Mother Brooke's desire to make her daughter a beauty queen has paid off. The baby won the contests that she hated fiercely. She wanted to walk on the street, get dirty and even dig worms, and her mother repeatedly forced her to prepare for the next competition.

As a result, Brooke left the parental home as soon as the opportunity presented itself. She refuses to communicate with her mother and prefers an ordinary life to fame and popularity.

The Izaban sisters from Nigeria became real stars after photographer Mof Bamuiwa published their pictures. and the photographer said: “I am glad that we managed to change perceptions and stereotypes about Africa. Someone thinks that only hungry illiterate children live here. But there are beautiful, beautiful, educated boys and girls here, and they are the ones who are ready to change this world."
