0:00:15 > 0:00:20It's often said that the film industry is obsessed with youth.

0:00:20 > 0:00:24That's even truer than ever when it comes to child actors.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27You might find them delightful and heart-warming

0:00:27 > 0:00:29or precocious and brattish but, over the years,

0:00:29 > 0:00:30there have been times

0:00:30 > 0:00:35when the biggest names in cinema have also been the smallest.

0:00:35 > 0:00:39Today we are looking at those who made an impression on the public

0:00:39 > 0:00:42that outlasted their growing up.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44And when talking about child stars,

0:00:44 > 0:00:50there's one name you have to start with - Shirley Temple.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53So here is the girl with the curly hair all grown up

0:00:53 > 0:00:57and looking back on her days as the biggest box-office draw

0:00:57 > 0:01:02in the world on Parkinson in 1972.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05- How, in fact, were you discovered, Shirley?- You really want to know?

0:01:05 > 0:01:07I would love to know

0:01:07 > 0:01:10cos you were discovered at a very early age, weren't you?

0:01:10 > 0:01:12- Three.- Three! - What were you doing at three?

0:01:12 > 0:01:15I can't remember, I can't even remember what I was doing yesterday,

0:01:15 > 0:01:17never mind three.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18I really cannot.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21I was in a neighbourhood dancing school

0:01:21 > 0:01:24and there were ten little children all about three years old

0:01:24 > 0:01:28and a producer, not a very major one,

0:01:28 > 0:01:30but a producer came into the dancing

0:01:30 > 0:01:35school and he was looking for some children for some short subjects.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38I was a short subject at the time, in fact!

0:01:38 > 0:01:42And he told us all to line up and do a time step.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47And I lined up and I looked at him and I didn't like his face.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51And so I broke out of the line and went and hid under the piano.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55And he said, "I'll take that one."

0:01:56 > 0:01:59- That was my start.- Really? - Yeah.- Amazing.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Let's have a look. That did embark you on your career.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06Let's have a look at one of the, I suppose, classic moments from the...

0:02:06 > 0:02:09How old would you be? Six years old? When you did Bright Eyes.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10About five, I think.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Let's have a look at this and it's the classic...

0:02:12 > 0:02:14It's Good Ship Lollipop.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15Oh, marvellous(!)

0:02:17 > 0:02:20- I'm a good sport, go ahead, Michael, do it.- Oh, it's nice.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22# I've thrown away my toys

0:02:24 > 0:02:26# Even my drum and trains

0:02:27 > 0:02:29# I want to make some noise

0:02:31 > 0:02:34# With real-life aeroplanes

0:02:34 > 0:02:38# Someday I'm going to fly

0:02:38 > 0:02:41# I'll be a pilot too

0:02:41 > 0:02:45# And when I do, how would you

0:02:45 > 0:02:48# Like to be my crew?

0:02:49 > 0:02:54# On the good ship Lollipop

0:02:54 > 0:02:57# It's a sweet trip to a candy shop

0:02:57 > 0:03:00# Where bonbons play

0:03:00 > 0:03:03# On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay

0:03:04 > 0:03:08# Lemonade stands everywhere

0:03:08 > 0:03:12# Crackerjack bands fill the air

0:03:12 > 0:03:14# And there you are

0:03:14 > 0:03:17# Happy landing on a chocolate bar. #

0:03:17 > 0:03:20APPLAUSE

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Did you in fact enjoy being a film star at that age?

0:03:22 > 0:03:26- I didn't know anything else and loved it.- Yes. But I mean, how...

0:03:26 > 0:03:29You say you didn't know anything else, I suppose you didn't.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31You didn't have an ordinary life at all, did you?

0:03:31 > 0:03:36Oh, I did, yes. Well, the time I spent at the studio was different

0:03:36 > 0:03:40but then I had my neighbourhood gang and I was a tomboy.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44And as soon as I got home, I would put on blue jeans

0:03:44 > 0:03:46and a T-shirt and climb trees and all that.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52I wasn't really, and I'm probably still not, what I'm thought to be.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55- What's that? - I'm not still a tomboy but...

0:03:55 > 0:03:58LAUGHTER

0:03:58 > 0:04:02Well, for instance, I shot Eleanor Roosevelt with a slingshot

0:04:02 > 0:04:04when I was ten, you know.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05- Really?- Yeah.- Where did you hit her?

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Same place I got punished afterwards.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11LAUGHTER

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Were there many rumours put about that you weren't really

0:04:14 > 0:04:17seven or eight, that you were something else?

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Yes, I think it was... No, it started in Paris.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25The rumour in Paris started that I was a midget of 35

0:04:25 > 0:04:27with three children.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33- And we sued.- Really? - Yes, and we won, of course.

0:04:33 > 0:04:38But before that, the newspaper had to send the journalist and

0:04:38 > 0:04:42a lawyer all the way to California and they had to observe me

0:04:42 > 0:04:46at the studio for about a week before they were convinced

0:04:46 > 0:04:49- that I was really a child. - Yes.- Nice(!)

0:04:49 > 0:04:52And what about the other thing, there were other allegations, too,

0:04:52 > 0:04:56well, not serious ones, but that the studio didn't deliberately build...?

0:04:56 > 0:04:59- I think it was England that did that rumour.- Was it?

0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Does your file say that? - Er, I don't know, I don't know.

0:05:02 > 0:05:03I think it was...

0:05:03 > 0:05:04LAUGHTER

0:05:04 > 0:05:10- I bet I still have some pounds over here somewhere.- Probably so.- Yeah.

0:05:13 > 0:05:19In 1934, Shirley Temple became the first winner of a special

0:05:19 > 0:05:24children's Oscar - the Academy Juvenile Award.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27The last person to win the award before the Academy stopped presenting

0:05:27 > 0:05:33it in 1960 was Britain's very own Hayley Mills.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37Probably the most successful child star of the '60s, Hayley made

0:05:37 > 0:05:43her film debut alongside her father, my dear friend John Mills,

0:05:43 > 0:05:47in the 1959 film - it was called Tiger Bay.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51The next decade saw her become a major star in America

0:05:51 > 0:05:54and appear in over a dozen films.

0:05:54 > 0:05:59Here she is comparatively ancient at the age of 22 being interviewed

0:05:59 > 0:06:04about her life on the set of another film, the thriller Twisted Nerve.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09You made Tiger Bay in 1959, which was a great success for you.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13The critics liked it and then, of course, Walt Disney saw it.

0:06:13 > 0:06:14Yes, it was his wife saw it, actually.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17It was raining one day in London, she told me,

0:06:17 > 0:06:18and she was shopping with a friend

0:06:18 > 0:06:23and they went into a cinema, really to get dry, and, uh...

0:06:23 > 0:06:27same thing, he wanted to make this film Pollyanna.

0:06:27 > 0:06:28I was about the right age.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33So... I met him, actually, one day in the Dorchester,

0:06:33 > 0:06:35in the top... I think it's called the Harlequin Suite.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38And...

0:06:38 > 0:06:41we spent all afternoon, they've got one of those machines

0:06:41 > 0:06:44that you put a penny in... In the Harlequin Suite, a penny!

0:06:44 > 0:06:48..put a penny in and it lights up all the interesting bits of London.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50And, uh...

0:06:50 > 0:06:52he...

0:06:52 > 0:06:55My brother was there, who was about seven at the time, and he's

0:06:55 > 0:06:58so great with children, he was really marvellous with children.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01He played with this machine and us all afternoon.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04In those days, were you aware of being a star?

0:07:04 > 0:07:05In some ways you must've been

0:07:05 > 0:07:07but perhaps at home it was very different.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Oh, I demanded the full treatment. Breakfast in bed...

0:07:10 > 0:07:12er...

0:07:13 > 0:07:15You know, the full stuff.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19I wouldn't go anywhere without your escorts and your Rolls-Royces.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22I wasn't having any of that mucking-in business with the washing up,

0:07:22 > 0:07:25- no, not likely. - I don't believe that.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27It can't be an easy thing to be a child star and yet

0:07:27 > 0:07:29lead a normal life.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32And I'm sure your parents were only too well aware of that.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Didn't they go out of their way to make your life

0:07:34 > 0:07:36at home as unglamorous as possible?

0:07:36 > 0:07:38But, you know, erm...

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Life is...

0:07:41 > 0:07:44Life is what you make it, isn't it? And, uh...

0:07:47 > 0:07:49..you work as you have always worked,

0:07:49 > 0:07:52you live as you've always lived, unless something...

0:07:53 > 0:07:57..traumatic changes it. You have to change as a person.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59I suppose that's what I'm saying.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01And, uh...

0:08:01 > 0:08:02I don't think...

0:08:02 > 0:08:05that I did. I mean, you don't change overnight.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09And this business is not...

0:08:09 > 0:08:13has never been a completely new business, a completely new world.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16And, erm...

0:08:17 > 0:08:19You know, my father was an actor when I was born.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23So...

0:08:23 > 0:08:26And, after all, when I wasn't working, I went back to school.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28And, uh...

0:08:28 > 0:08:30What was that like?

0:08:30 > 0:08:33I mean, to go from the glamour, from the bright lights,

0:08:33 > 0:08:36to go back to school. How did that hit you?

0:08:36 > 0:08:37Oh, it was a relief.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43I went back to school till I was 15 and then, uh...

0:08:43 > 0:08:46I went to a finishing school in Switzerland

0:08:46 > 0:08:49and learned French rather badly and I learned how to ski

0:08:49 > 0:08:52and I got terribly fat on Swiss chocolates, I think

0:08:52 > 0:08:54that's where my weight problem started.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Fondue every day of the week. And, uh...

0:08:59 > 0:09:02I suppose it wasn't a normal life, really, but...

0:09:02 > 0:09:04but, erm...

0:09:04 > 0:09:10I did things that I had always done. Went riding, went to the cinema.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13- What do you like at the cinema? - Anything, really.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15I'd go every day of the week if I could.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19I made so many frilly-knicker films.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21The films where you're always sort of upside-down

0:09:21 > 0:09:24going like that in rompers and white socks

0:09:24 > 0:09:26and all that sort of stuff.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Erm...

0:09:28 > 0:09:30I find it awfully hard to get away from those,

0:09:30 > 0:09:33get out and do something else.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35And...

0:09:35 > 0:09:42The, uh, difficulty now for people my age, for me now, is that there

0:09:42 > 0:09:45are not really an awful lot of very good parts written for...

0:09:47 > 0:09:48..females of my age.

0:09:48 > 0:09:54There are much more, many more parts written for men.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58Women so often are just bunged into films as...

0:09:58 > 0:10:01a bit of love interest.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05But, uh, when I was first starting,

0:10:05 > 0:10:08there weren't really so many kids and it was...

0:10:08 > 0:10:10You know, there was rather less competition

0:10:10 > 0:10:12and now there's rather a lot.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16That interview was recorded in 1968,

0:10:16 > 0:10:21the same year that the smash-hit musical Oliver! transformed

0:10:21 > 0:10:23the life of our next subject,

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Jack Wild, in the role of the Artful Dodger.

0:10:27 > 0:10:32It set Jack on a path that included the highs of television stardom

0:10:32 > 0:10:38in America and, sadly, the lows of alcoholism and addiction.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Here he is at the start of that journey,

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Oscar-nominated for Dodger and discussing newly found fame

0:10:44 > 0:10:47and fortune with the chat-show host Simon Dee.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49APPLAUSE

0:10:49 > 0:10:51- You've got a few fans out there, Jack.- I see.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Welcome to the show.- Thank you.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Listen, congratulations on your nomination for an Oscar,

0:10:56 > 0:10:58you must be knocked out about that.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01I was, actually, I didn't think children got Oscars, you know.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04I haven't heard of any children getting too many Oscars

0:11:04 > 0:11:06- but I hope you get it. You haven't got it yet, good luck.- Thank you.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09When did you first get the very fat script

0:11:09 > 0:11:11of Oliver! put in your hand?

0:11:11 > 0:11:15Well, it wasn't until about a week before we started rehearsing.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Did you think you'd get through it all right?

0:11:18 > 0:11:21I didn't then at the time but I did, you know.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24- I see. Did you make any goofs, Jack, on the show?- I did, actually.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27- They used it, which was... - They used it?

0:11:27 > 0:11:29They used it because, you know,

0:11:29 > 0:11:33- they have problems speaking cockney with America, you know.- Yeah.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Well, I said "mate"...- Yeah.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39..on one of the sequences and they don't know what "mate" is, you see.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Of course. - So, you know, they used it anyway.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45I can't see anything wrong with "mate".

0:11:46 > 0:11:49You are a cockney. Where do you come from in London?

0:11:49 > 0:11:52- I don't, actually, I was born in Manchester.- That's what I said.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54LAUGHTER

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Whereabouts in Manchester? So a few Mancunians can say,

0:11:57 > 0:11:59- IMITATES MANCUNIAN ACCENT: - "Oh, he lived on our street."

0:11:59 > 0:12:02- I lived near Oldham, which is a place called Royton.- Mm.

0:12:03 > 0:12:08- And it's a sort of village, like, you know.- Is it?- Yeah.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10You don't sound too Mancunian but never mind.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Have you been back there since you sort of made a hit?

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Oh, yeah, I go back there about every six months or so,

0:12:15 > 0:12:18you know, to see me friends and relations.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20You're going to buy your mum a house, are you?

0:12:20 > 0:12:22- Yeah.- Where are you going to put them?

0:12:22 > 0:12:26- Erm... Somewhere around Hounslow, you know, in the district.- Hounslow.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Yeah.- Of course, one good thing, a curious fact, very much

0:12:29 > 0:12:31on your side... I made a note of it so I won't forget.

0:12:31 > 0:12:35..boys who play Oliver Twist tend to fade away a little bit

0:12:35 > 0:12:38but the Artful Dodgers live on. I can name you a few Artful Dodgers,

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Anthony Newley, Davy Jones, Leonard Whiting,

0:12:41 > 0:12:45and they've all achieved a very different type of success.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Anthony Newley, who's making movies now,

0:12:47 > 0:12:48Leonard Whiting playing Shakespeare.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50What do you want to do with yourself?

0:12:50 > 0:12:52I just want to be successful, me, you know.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54LAUGHTER

0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Normal run-of-the-mill success? - Yeah.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Mrs June Collins is your manager, Jack, is that right?- Yeah.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03And she found you in a park, or something, playing football.

0:13:03 > 0:13:09Yeah, I was just sort of playing football with my brother,

0:13:09 > 0:13:13you know, and this lady came up and said, "Do you want a job?"

0:13:13 > 0:13:17- See, and... - LAUGHTER

0:13:17 > 0:13:20- All right, all right.- I thought, you know, "What's she going on about?"

0:13:20 > 0:13:23I thought she was a bit...

0:13:23 > 0:13:25you know, and so...

0:13:25 > 0:13:29I said, "I've already got one, I help the milkman," you know.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31LAUGHTER

0:13:31 > 0:13:34That was true, that. It was, honest, it was really true.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36How much a week were you getting for that?

0:13:36 > 0:13:39I was getting about five bob or something stupid, you know.

0:13:39 > 0:13:40And so...

0:13:41 > 0:13:44- And so she said, "No," she said, - HE STUMBLES:- "Show..."

0:13:44 > 0:13:47- "Show business."- Have a drink. - Thank you very much.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52She said show business, see, and so I said,

0:13:52 > 0:13:57"I don't care," and me brother said he didn't care and so she spoke

0:13:57 > 0:13:59to our parents and they said,

0:13:59 > 0:14:01"If you want to do it, do it," so we did.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03LAUGHTER

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Good.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Did what?

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Well, you know, went for an audition for the Oliver! stage show.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13What did you have to do for that?

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Just sing, oh, what was the name of it?

0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Friends And Neighbours or something. - How did it go?

0:14:19 > 0:14:21# When you've got friends and neighbours... #

0:14:21 > 0:14:23That's it.

0:14:23 > 0:14:24LAUGHTER

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Quick as a flash, quick as a flash.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29You know, a lot of child stars... Forgive me for using the word,

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Jack. ..have achieved fame and then a lot of disappointment.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36People like Jackie Coogan and also girls like Judy Garland and

0:14:36 > 0:14:40a few others, they've had a lot of sad stories after their success.

0:14:40 > 0:14:45How do you view all that? Does that frighten you a bit?

0:14:45 > 0:14:48No, actually, it doesn't because...

0:14:48 > 0:14:51my father puts my money into a certain sort of building society

0:14:51 > 0:14:55and he looks after it, you know, and I don't think...

0:14:55 > 0:15:00You know, cos they won't take money off me or my brother, me parents.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02You know, which is very nice of them.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04LAUGHTER

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Who have you got pinned up in your bedroom?

0:15:07 > 0:15:09- Manchester United Football Club.- Oh!

0:15:09 > 0:15:11- LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE - Hey!

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Of course you have.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Anyone in particular that you like? George, I suppose.- George, yeah.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Bobby and everybody. Do you see them play much?

0:15:21 > 0:15:24I've...actually, I've only been to one football game.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26And, then, you couldn't see...

0:15:26 > 0:15:29No, I went to one where they played here in London, you know.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31They're not doing too well at the moment, are they?

0:15:31 > 0:15:35No, but, you see, when I go to America, they always lose.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38- So when I come back, they win.- You need to be their mascot, I think.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Yeah.- Jack, that's what it is. A serious question for a second,

0:15:41 > 0:15:44what did you think of the Hollywood gloss when you went over there?

0:15:44 > 0:15:45Well, erm...

0:15:45 > 0:15:49It was much to the way I thought it was going to be, you know.

0:15:49 > 0:15:54There was a lot of people with long hair and...

0:15:54 > 0:15:57- They were women, Jack. - Were they? Oh, sorry.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59LAUGHTER

0:15:59 > 0:16:02But...you know, it was very warm and...

0:16:02 > 0:16:04- Did they treat you nicely? - Yeah, it was very nice.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06What are you going to do with all this?

0:16:06 > 0:16:10What was the first thing you bought when you signed your contract?

0:16:10 > 0:16:11I think... Oh, what was it?

0:16:11 > 0:16:15I think... Oh, yeah, I went down to some big apartment store

0:16:15 > 0:16:20and bought some clothes and, er...oh,

0:16:20 > 0:16:22- some flippers for swimming.- Yes.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25A snorkel and a mask and some swimming trunks.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28You were going swimming, then, we may gather from that?

0:16:28 > 0:16:29Yeah.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34With Jack Wild and Mark Lester, Oliver! contained

0:16:34 > 0:16:38some of cinema's most enjoyable children's performances.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41Our next film is also stuffed with them,

0:16:41 > 0:16:45the all-child extravaganza Bugsy Malone.

0:16:45 > 0:16:50It came out in 1976 and visiting the set was Barry Norman's programme,

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Film '76.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55I wanted to make a film where the kids were the heroes

0:16:55 > 0:16:57and a film where we'd talk down to them

0:16:57 > 0:16:59and a film made as well as one would make an adult film,

0:16:59 > 0:17:02so that when the mums and dads take the kids to the pictures,

0:17:02 > 0:17:03they won't fall asleep,

0:17:03 > 0:17:05which is what normally happens. Which is what I do, anyway.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07The big problem is obviously the guns

0:17:07 > 0:17:09and you can't have a gangster film without guns,

0:17:09 > 0:17:12so we invented a thing called the splurge gun which is

0:17:12 > 0:17:15a regular machinegun but it fires a capsule which, on impact,

0:17:15 > 0:17:17is like a custard pie,

0:17:17 > 0:17:19and so instead of St Valentine's Day Massacre

0:17:19 > 0:17:21or whatever, we have Custard Pie Massacre.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Nobody's ever killed or dead

0:17:23 > 0:17:25but they're all splurged and they're out.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28Just a bit more. That's it. Great. >

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Just say your line, Tim, please. >

0:17:30 > 0:17:34- The gun, Captain.- Yeah? - Get in there.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Yeah, but what kind of gun?

0:17:39 > 0:17:42- A big gun, Captain. - "A big gun, Captain"!

0:17:42 > 0:17:44You've been standing here for two hours

0:17:44 > 0:17:48and you're going to tell me "a big gun"? You banana brains.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50They are no different to adults, actually,

0:17:50 > 0:17:55in a way and you have to con them at times, you have to be nice

0:17:55 > 0:17:58to them at times, you have to be strict with them at times.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01Generally, the best way is that it has to be fun for them.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06There are 1929, 1930 replicas of cars,

0:18:06 > 0:18:09they're all pedal-driven cars to avoid injuries of kids driving.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12But, to all other intents and purposes, they just

0:18:12 > 0:18:15look like regular cars, they're just driven by foot power.

0:18:17 > 0:18:21There are 11 musical numbers, most of them take place

0:18:21 > 0:18:22here in the Speakeasy.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25We're making a totally American-speaking film

0:18:25 > 0:18:27and we happen to be making it here but I hope that

0:18:27 > 0:18:29if we make it well enough,

0:18:29 > 0:18:31the only time that people think of it as an English film

0:18:31 > 0:18:34is when they see, "Made at Pinewood Studios," at the end.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36# Once you get here feel the good cheer

0:18:36 > 0:18:38# Like they say in the poem

0:18:38 > 0:18:40# Fat Sam's ain't humble

0:18:40 > 0:18:43# But it's your home sweet home

0:18:43 > 0:18:45# Plans are made here Games are played here

0:18:45 > 0:18:47# I could write me a book

0:18:47 > 0:18:50# Each night astounds you

0:18:50 > 0:18:52# Rumours are a-buzzing Stories by the dozen

0:18:52 > 0:18:55# Look around your cousin at the news we're making here

0:18:55 > 0:18:59# Anybody who is anybody will soon walk through that door

0:18:59 > 0:19:03# At Fat Sam's Grand Slam Speakeasy. #

0:19:08 > 0:19:12Of course, one of the standout performances in Bugsy Malone

0:19:12 > 0:19:16came from the acclaimed child actress Jodie Foster playing

0:19:16 > 0:19:20the nightclub singer and gangster's moll Tallulah.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22She was already a sensation

0:19:22 > 0:19:26and had won huge praise for her role as a young prostitute opposite

0:19:26 > 0:19:32Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese's film Taxi Driver.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36In 1978, the broadcaster Desmond Wilcox made

0:19:36 > 0:19:41a documentary about the 15-year-old Foster, gaining a level of access

0:19:41 > 0:19:46to her private and home life that today seems quite extraordinary.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52You've never taken any acting lessons, have you?

0:19:52 > 0:19:54- No.- Why not?

0:19:54 > 0:19:58Well, I don't think it's necessary. If you have some instinct

0:19:58 > 0:20:01and if you're doing OK... I think maybe I might

0:20:01 > 0:20:04when I'm, like, 18, 20 years old.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08I might take it at Strasberg or something like that,

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Jeff Corey maybe,

0:20:10 > 0:20:13because there are a lot of other actors out there

0:20:13 > 0:20:15too that are just as good.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18Right now, I think it hurts you a lot

0:20:18 > 0:20:21because it makes things that aren't natural for children,

0:20:21 > 0:20:24especially for children, who all work on their instinct

0:20:24 > 0:20:28and just working on things that they think are OK.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32But your sense of timing, for instance,

0:20:32 > 0:20:36is that instinct or is it something you've learned or taught yourself?

0:20:36 > 0:20:39- I don't know. - Do you ever feel like a big shot?

0:20:41 > 0:20:46Yeah, sometimes, when people ask me for my autograph. It's really nice.

0:20:46 > 0:20:51When I go to a screening. And people say, "There's Tatum O'Neal."

0:20:51 > 0:20:57Then I feel like a big shot. Nobody really knows me, I don't think.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Yes, they do, they stop you in Disneyland

0:21:00 > 0:21:02and they don't always say, "Is that Tatum O'Neal?"

0:21:02 > 0:21:05No, not always. "You're somebody, aren't you?

0:21:05 > 0:21:09"Don't I know you? I mean, I know you, don't I? You're somebody."

0:21:09 > 0:21:12But it's nice, you know, people thinking that you are someone,

0:21:12 > 0:21:14it's nice.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16WHISTLE BLOWS

0:21:28 > 0:21:31In her journey through the Hollywood jungle around her,

0:21:31 > 0:21:35Jodie is careful not to forget that it was in the bright

0:21:35 > 0:21:36world of imagination and fantasy

0:21:36 > 0:21:41created by Walt Disney that she was first discovered and acclaimed.

0:21:41 > 0:21:45She's wise for her years and still makes Disney pictures.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48She hasn't rejected the child-star roles which she knows one day

0:21:48 > 0:21:52she must grow out of but would be foolish to despise.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55Anyway, she's also young for her years and, whenever she can, she

0:21:55 > 0:21:59goes back to Disneyland to take advantage of all the free rides

0:21:59 > 0:22:01the publicity people will give her

0:22:01 > 0:22:03and to enjoy recognition and admiration.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10You've got Taxi Driver on the wall here.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12Taxi Driver and that's my name.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16Is that the first time that you had your name up on a big

0:22:16 > 0:22:20- movie billing like that? - Erm, let me think...

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25I think except for Echoes Of A Summer

0:22:25 > 0:22:28but that didn't have the big release that Taxi Driver had.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Those are the British Academy Awards, you've got two of those.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34Yeah, these are the British Academy Awards.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36This one... Let me see which one it is. This one is for

0:22:36 > 0:22:39best supporting actress for Bugsy Malone and Taxi Driver

0:22:39 > 0:22:43and this is for most popular, no, most promising newcomer.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48The British Academy Awards.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52APPLAUSE

0:22:59 > 0:23:02Thank you very much to everyone that was involved in Taxi Driver

0:23:02 > 0:23:03and Bugsy Malone,

0:23:03 > 0:23:08directors and great actors and everyone that cooperated together,

0:23:08 > 0:23:10and mostly the press that has been so nice to me over this year

0:23:10 > 0:23:15and everything else this year. I'm so nervous, I can't even believe.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19And most of all my family, who stood behind me when...

0:23:19 > 0:23:23when I needed it. Most of all my mother. Thank you.

0:23:23 > 0:23:24APPLAUSE

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Do you think about your own looks at all?

0:23:40 > 0:23:43There you are with lenses and cameras pointed at you all

0:23:43 > 0:23:46the time, you must think about how you look.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49Well, every kid my age has to think about how they look.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52"Oh, my God, what am I going to do? My nose is out of shape,

0:23:52 > 0:23:54"I've got a big nose, my mouth..."

0:23:54 > 0:23:57Yeah, but, I mean, I'm not sitting there in the mirror

0:23:57 > 0:23:58all the time going like that.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Cos I figure, once I look in the mirror,

0:24:00 > 0:24:03I'm going to look the same as the last time.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Do you think you're pretty?

0:24:05 > 0:24:07No!

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Why not?

0:24:09 > 0:24:13- I don't know. I have a big nose. - I think you're pretty.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16I begin to like my nose. I used to hate my nose.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19But then I sprained it in the bottom of the swimming pool

0:24:19 > 0:24:22and now I like it because it goes like that.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Do you wear make-up at all or do you want to wear make-up?

0:24:26 > 0:24:28No way! Because as soon as you get it on,

0:24:28 > 0:24:30you have to wash it off again.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34And I've always had to wear make-up on film. On film.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36And it's such a pain.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40You have to get out all this stuff and stick it on. Gross.

0:24:43 > 0:24:48Are there occasions when you like to look pretty, wear a dress...?

0:24:48 > 0:24:51I'd always like to look pretty if I could, believe me.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54I don't wear dresses usually because they're so uncomfortable

0:24:54 > 0:24:57and I always end up splitting them or breaking them.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59I'm really a klutz and I always end up tripping over.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02Did you notice on the British Academy Awards I tripped

0:25:02 > 0:25:04- on the steps?- Yes. - I always end up tripping,

0:25:04 > 0:25:08so I try not to wear a dress because I look even stupider.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10But I like wearing pants.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12- Well, I think you're pretty. - Thank you.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16I think you do, too, really, actually.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Well, you're not supposed to get up here and say it.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23I mean, I think I've got things that are OK. Like my nose, I like my nose.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26And I have pointed ears. I like my ears, see? Ears.

0:25:26 > 0:25:32Leonard Nimoy ears, Dr Spock. Is it? No. Yeah, Dr Spock.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36- You know, Star Trek.- That's right. - Right.- Mr Spock. Dr Spock is the...

0:25:36 > 0:25:39- ..is the other guy, the baby guy.- That's right.

0:25:41 > 0:25:45Jodie Foster would go on to become one of Hollywood's greatest stars,

0:25:45 > 0:25:48winning best-actress Oscars for The Accused

0:25:48 > 0:25:50and The Silence Of The Lambs.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54And here's another young star destined for Oscar glory,

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Christian Bale,

0:25:56 > 0:26:00who, at 13, appeared in Steven Spielberg's film

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Empire Of The Sun.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08So how does the schoolboy from Bournemouth get chosen to be

0:26:08 > 0:26:11the star of the new Steven Spielberg epic?

0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Um, I applied to an agency.- Yeah.

0:26:15 > 0:26:19And I've been doing acting lessons since I was about ten years old.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22And he just finds me the auditions, sends me along to them.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24If I get it, it's great.

0:26:24 > 0:26:29But, I mean, I take acting lessons about every month or so.

0:26:30 > 0:26:34Yeah, are you a natural actor? I'm sure a lot of young people

0:26:34 > 0:26:37looking in would envy you being the star of a...

0:26:37 > 0:26:40The film hasn't been shown here yet, so you're not the big star

0:26:40 > 0:26:43- that you're going to be in about three months' time.- Yeah.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46I mean, are you a natural actor, did you show an early aptitude?

0:26:46 > 0:26:48No, I was never interested in acting before.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50I mean, when I was three years old,

0:26:50 > 0:26:53I wanted to be a hedgehog for some reason.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56- LAUGHTER - I don't know why, but...

0:26:56 > 0:26:59erm... Then I got into Doctor Who.

0:26:59 > 0:27:06But my sister Louise, she's 15, she's always done dancing

0:27:06 > 0:27:09and then she got a part in Bugsy Malone on the West End...musical.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11I saw that a few times and I just thought

0:27:11 > 0:27:12it looked like really good fun.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15And there were boys in that and I thought it looked easy as well.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19But you got this job from Spielberg over 4,000 other applicants?

0:27:19 > 0:27:215,000 applicants?

0:27:21 > 0:27:24- 4,000.- 4,000. So why you, do you think?

0:27:24 > 0:27:26Did he tell you why he picked you?

0:27:26 > 0:27:29- No, he never did, no. - How do you get on with him?

0:27:29 > 0:27:32He's great, he's really good fun. He makes you feel really relaxed.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34I mean, obviously, I was really nervous

0:27:34 > 0:27:37and tense the whole time but he was great.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40- AMERICAN ACCENT:- You went to the premiere, did you? In LA?

0:27:40 > 0:27:41How was that?

0:27:41 > 0:27:44That was great, that was really good.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47I turned up, I was with all my family in LA

0:27:47 > 0:27:51and we turned up in this big stretch with blacked-out windows

0:27:51 > 0:27:55and I had to get out with my sister and walk up this red carpet to

0:27:55 > 0:27:57the cinema, there were photographers at the side interviewing you

0:27:57 > 0:28:00as you walk up, doing autographs.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03That was really good fun and then we saw the film

0:28:03 > 0:28:08and then afterwards there's about half-a-mile-long red carpet

0:28:08 > 0:28:12going through the streets to this massive tent, which is like

0:28:12 > 0:28:15a reception where you have dinner afterwards.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18I was just amazed at it. There's spotlights everywhere,

0:28:18 > 0:28:20I mean, there's crowds,

0:28:20 > 0:28:23they had barriers, and I had these massive bodyguards either side.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26And now and then you get someone bursting out of the crowd

0:28:26 > 0:28:30and running out and saying, "Can you sign this for me?"

0:28:30 > 0:28:32But you'll be ready for the Royal Film Premiere,

0:28:32 > 0:28:35because the film's been chosen for that in March.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38Do you think the Queen will enjoy it?

0:28:38 > 0:28:40I hope so. She'd better do.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42LAUGHTER

0:28:46 > 0:28:50And, of course, Christian DID become a huge Hollywood star, winning

0:28:50 > 0:28:53the best supporting actor Academy Award for his role in The Fighter

0:28:53 > 0:28:59and starring as Batman in the hugely successful Dark Knight series.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03But that was when he was an adult.

0:29:03 > 0:29:07The boy breaking box-office records in the 1990s was this

0:29:07 > 0:29:10young man, Macauley Culkin.

0:29:10 > 0:29:12- You look great.- Thank you.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15- You're a hot property at the moment, aren't you?- Yeah.

0:29:17 > 0:29:22- I read the papers, one million dollars for your next movie.- Wow!

0:29:22 > 0:29:24LAUGHTER

0:29:24 > 0:29:28He's taking it well, isn't he? You're taking it well.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31You would accept that. What would you do with all that money,

0:29:31 > 0:29:34one million dollars?

0:29:34 > 0:29:36Oh...buy myself a licence.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41- And then...- A licence to what? - To drive.- Oh, to drive.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46- And say I'm a midget and I'm 21. - Yeah.

0:29:46 > 0:29:51- And I would buy myself a Porsche. - What, now?

0:29:51 > 0:29:54- Yeah.- And keep it in the garage? Until you're ready?

0:29:54 > 0:29:58- And not let anybody else drive it? - Yes.- Certainly not, good thinking.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00But it's a lot of money,

0:30:00 > 0:30:03I mean, do you get to see any of the money that you've been making?

0:30:03 > 0:30:07No, actually, all I have to do is sign the cheque and...

0:30:08 > 0:30:13- Don't tell me, your mother takes it? - No, my mom takes it to the bank.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15Oh, does she? That's what she tells you.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20- You hope.- Yeah.

0:30:20 > 0:30:21Good for you, though.

0:30:21 > 0:30:26- Obviously, you're not a person that fame has changed.- No.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29- You're a simple, God-fearing young man, aren't you?- Yes.- That's you.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31Tell me about the movie.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34In Home Alone, which has been an enormous success in the States,

0:30:34 > 0:30:37hasn't it? Biggest movie in the States. Did that surprise you?

0:30:37 > 0:30:39Erm, well, kind of, you know,

0:30:39 > 0:30:42I didn't think it would do THAT good but, really...

0:30:42 > 0:30:45it's a good film, it's really funny.

0:30:45 > 0:30:49So what happens is, this young man... How old are you?

0:30:50 > 0:30:54Erm, I'm ten right now but I'm supposed to be eight in the movie.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56When you made the movie, you were probably nine.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59We'll take some time to establish.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01- You get the whole house to yourself. - Yeah.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05I mean, what happens when the young man

0:31:05 > 0:31:07gets the whole house to himself?

0:31:07 > 0:31:13He bounces on the bed with his shoes on and eats popcorn

0:31:13 > 0:31:18and gets this huge bowl of ice cream, puts in ice cream, whipped cream,

0:31:18 > 0:31:23sprinkles, cherries, marshmallows, anything.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25He takes advantage of it.

0:31:25 > 0:31:29He takes advantage of it early, see.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31That's great.

0:31:31 > 0:31:35- That's the way to do it. Would that be what you would do yourself?- Yes.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38So it was an easy part for you,

0:31:38 > 0:31:41- this, wasn't it?- Yeah. - Piece of cake.

0:31:41 > 0:31:45Did you do all your own stunts? Because there's a lot of...

0:31:45 > 0:31:46acrobatics involved.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49Yeah, erm, well, erm...my stuntman,

0:31:49 > 0:31:52my stunt-midget, did...

0:31:52 > 0:31:54LAUGHTER

0:31:54 > 0:31:57APPLAUSE

0:32:00 > 0:32:01Timing.

0:32:03 > 0:32:05- My stunt-midget...- Poor little chap.

0:32:07 > 0:32:11..climbed up all the shelves to fall and everything.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13I would only do the close-ups.

0:32:13 > 0:32:17And then I would run, slide on my knees, that was me.

0:32:17 > 0:32:21That's great, isn't it? You'd be the envy of... Do you go to school?

0:32:21 > 0:32:22Mm-hmm.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25- Have a lot of your school pals seen this movie?- Yeah.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27They must be really envious of you.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30No, no, they treat me the same and everything.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33They play up to you a little bit cos you've got all that money now.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36- No, no, they don't. - Do you get much spending money?

0:32:36 > 0:32:40- I don't get an allowance at all. - That's really mean, isn't it?

0:32:40 > 0:32:42AUDIENCE: Aww.

0:32:42 > 0:32:44No, but sometimes, you know,

0:32:44 > 0:32:46if I ask Mom...

0:32:46 > 0:32:49I ask for, like, some money and she says, "What's it for?"

0:32:49 > 0:32:51And, erm...

0:32:51 > 0:32:54Let's say I want to get a sword, I go,

0:32:54 > 0:32:57"What's it for?" "Schoolwork." "OK."

0:32:57 > 0:32:59And I just get the money and go shopping.

0:32:59 > 0:33:02What about all the screaming fans and the stretch limos,

0:33:02 > 0:33:04do you like all that stuff?

0:33:04 > 0:33:05- It's OK, you know.- Yeah.

0:33:07 > 0:33:10- Supposing it was all taken away, could you handle that?- Yeah.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13I bet you could, too, and I wish you great success in your career,

0:33:13 > 0:33:16which I'm sure is going to be star-spangled.

0:33:16 > 0:33:17- Thank you for joining us.- OK.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19Macaulay.

0:33:19 > 0:33:23- CHEERING - Macauley Culkin.

0:33:23 > 0:33:24Good man.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29We're ending today with what else? -

0:33:29 > 0:33:31the Harry Potter films.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35Here are the three main cast members back in 2001.

0:33:35 > 0:33:37Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and, of course,

0:33:37 > 0:33:42Daniel Radcliffe, who has grown into a very fine actor.

0:33:42 > 0:33:47It's the early days of their JK Rowling roller-coaster ride

0:33:47 > 0:33:50and these are their very first television interviews,

0:33:50 > 0:33:52in which they talk about their roles in the most

0:33:52 > 0:33:57successful children's film franchise in cinema history.

0:33:57 > 0:34:02Um, I didn't really think I had a chance at all but I thought

0:34:02 > 0:34:06it would just be like a really, really exciting experience to say...

0:34:06 > 0:34:09to, like... to tell my children or something. I can say,

0:34:09 > 0:34:12"Oh, yeah, I auditioned for Harry Potter, did you know that?"

0:34:12 > 0:34:14And stuff. And tell my friends that and that.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16That would be cool. I never thought I'd get it.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18Ah, when... At the beginning, you know,

0:34:18 > 0:34:20I was just doing it for fun,

0:34:20 > 0:34:24I was just doing it for a bit of fun, I never took it very seriously

0:34:24 > 0:34:27until I got to sort of the second and third...

0:34:27 > 0:34:30"Hang on a minute," you know, "I'm through to the third one,

0:34:30 > 0:34:34"I actually have, you know, a small chance of getting this."

0:34:34 > 0:34:39I kind of realised, "Maybe I will." You know, "Do I...?"

0:34:39 > 0:34:41I started really properly thinking about it.

0:34:41 > 0:34:42And then I realised, you know,

0:34:42 > 0:34:44and I kept going through and I realised that

0:34:44 > 0:34:47I'd got down to the last five and I'm going, you know,

0:34:47 > 0:34:52"This wasn't supposed to happen!" It was amazing. And I just got it.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54It was just...

0:34:54 > 0:34:55Went so quickly.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58It was just... Didn't have time to think about it, even.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00I didn't think I had a chance, really,

0:35:00 > 0:35:03but I still wanted to try because I love acting and I love

0:35:03 > 0:35:08Harry Potter and it was just a dream role to be acting in Harry Potter.

0:35:08 > 0:35:12And when I found out, I was in the bath and I just cried,

0:35:12 > 0:35:15I was so happy because it was...

0:35:15 > 0:35:18because it was such a surprise.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20I mean, why do you think they chose you?

0:35:21 > 0:35:23Don't know.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

0:35:25 > 0:35:30It's really weird because I remember sitting in the car on one audition

0:35:30 > 0:35:33with my dad going,

0:35:33 > 0:35:35"You know the guy with the black hair on my second thing? You know,

0:35:35 > 0:35:38"he was in front of the camera, he's going to get it."

0:35:38 > 0:35:40And I remember thinking to myself, "He's really good,

0:35:40 > 0:35:44"he's so going to get it," and I remember, I think it was...

0:35:46 > 0:35:50I met Rupert before I met Dan but on the first time that we did

0:35:50 > 0:35:52the thing I also thought that he'd get it.

0:35:52 > 0:35:56I remember just sitting in the car going, "Yeah, he's going to get it,

0:35:56 > 0:35:58"he was really good and he was really good."

0:35:58 > 0:36:01Yeah, my first impression of them was...

0:36:02 > 0:36:04.."They both look the part".

0:36:04 > 0:36:07I didn't know whether they acted well, but when I saw them act

0:36:07 > 0:36:09I thought they were really good as well.

0:36:09 > 0:36:13I was very excited because I didn't know... I didn't know...

0:36:13 > 0:36:16I knew it was going to be big news but I didn't know it was going to

0:36:16 > 0:36:22be THAT big news, because within 20 minutes of the announcement,

0:36:22 > 0:36:26the press were outside my house, apparently, which was pretty funny.

0:36:26 > 0:36:31In a way, I'm a bit like Hermione but in a way I'm not because I'm

0:36:31 > 0:36:36not like her in the way that I spend all of my time devoted to school.

0:36:36 > 0:36:40I am quite devoted to school but I'm not, you know,

0:36:40 > 0:36:42as obsessed as she is.

0:36:42 > 0:36:45I don't spend my free time, you know, reading my science book,

0:36:45 > 0:36:48I'm just not like that.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50But I think that she has great charisma.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52I think that most people think, "Oh, you know,

0:36:52 > 0:36:54"she's really bossy and she's a really awful character,

0:36:54 > 0:36:59"because she's just such a swot," but that's why people like her

0:36:59 > 0:37:02so much, that is her character and if she didn't

0:37:02 > 0:37:04have that, she wouldn't be Hermione,

0:37:04 > 0:37:06she wouldn't be someone who is quite as funny

0:37:06 > 0:37:08and quite as different, and that's

0:37:08 > 0:37:11why I think that she's so popular around people.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13I think that's what people see her as.

0:37:13 > 0:37:15We get along really well

0:37:15 > 0:37:20because we are all quite like our characters and, um...

0:37:22 > 0:37:25Like, Rupert's very funny, Emma's very intelligent

0:37:25 > 0:37:29and I'm in between, because that's, I think, how Harry is.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34And the characters are very compatible, so I think we were...

0:37:34 > 0:37:38We got on really well and we still do get on really well.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43From Shirley Temple to Harry Potter,

0:37:43 > 0:37:47child stars have entranced generations through the ages.

0:37:47 > 0:37:51Their fortunes may vary as they grow older

0:37:51 > 0:37:54but their youthful performances have been preserved for eternity

0:37:54 > 0:37:58on film and continue to delight audiences across the globe.
