Child stars face a strikingly bizarre reality where the world gains excessive, intimate and unchecked access to their physical body and personal life. From directors and crew members on set to fan encounters on the street to media coverage, child performers are not granted bodily autonomy and instead are placed in vulnerable situations that can have lifelong consequences.

Alyson shares stories of being told to kiss people at an uncomfortably young age, TMZ tracking down their phone number and location, and legal contracts that dictated their appearance including the shade of their skin.
