Welsh Family Ties
I found this article about Welsh family ties interesting:- http://icwales.icnetwork.co.uk/celebs/news/tm_headline=family-ties-tame-young-welsh-celebs%26method=full%26objectid=19540052%26page=1%26siteid=50082-name_page.html What's also interesting, are the Welsh 'child stars' they use to illustrate their point. One noticable exception exists - they missed out on a fine example of how Hollywood corrupts young people :plotting

Re: Welsh Family Ties
Interesting article, indeed. Thanks for the link, Stevie. One noticable exception exists - they missed out on a fine example of how Hollywood corrupts young people :plotting Hmm, do you think they missed out that example on purpose or by accident?

Ok, Stevie & Frances, I love your new avatars!!

Hmm. Interesting. I agree with the writer. Thanks for posting the link :)

This article was most interesting, Stevie, and I wonder just how truly "goody-goody" those celebs REALLY are? Sounds a bit cynical of me, I know, but this piece sounds almost too overly slanted! I had to laugh at your comment about the 'noticeable exception'! :whistle :roll:

It is an interesting article and actually I'm surprised that didn't use either Ioan or Matthew as an example. As most of those they used have gotten into some sort of trouble even if it is limited by community ties. Despite the recent frustration and anger Ioan's recent action has caused some of his fans ( in the world of gossip journalism, it is doesn't garner nearly the attention as "the girls" antics), neither he or Matthew have been arrested, or involved in scandal and both are successful with Ioan performing from very young age. From a journalistic point of view, they probably would have been better examples. As even though they've both left Wales they have that upbringing and grounding whereas Paris, Britany and Lindsay were all brought up by parents who aimed them a stardom at the cost of other elements in their lives. It's too bad the article didn't go into more depth as the topic is intriguing. GG
