“That was an era when TV child actors just didn’t work after their show was over. I think Christina Applegate and I are the only two who maintained some sort of career path past the shows that launched us.”
Milano, who welcomed her first child with her CAA agent husband David Bugliari in 2011, believes that the current crop of troubled child stars were doomed from theget-go.
“I have a great family, and I look at a lot of these kids who struggle in the industry and think they’d have struggled no matter what they did.”
