I was watching this, and was surprised of some people who made the list, and very surprised of a few who didn't, particularly one certain young actress, Daveigh Chase (Voice of Lilo- "Lilo & Stitch", Voice of "Chihiru"- Disney's "Spirited Away", Played the role of creepy little girl "Samara" in Dreamwork's, "The Ring", Played little sister to Donnie in "Donnie Darko", Played the role of "Joyce", on Fox's "Oliver Beene" and has made guest appearences on a great many popular TV Drama Shows (Nearly all the most popular), "ER", "Touched By An Angel", "Charmed", "CSI Miami", "Cold Case", "The Practice", just to name a few shows out of many more I haven't listed. Currently Miss Chase has a regular role on HBO's "Big Love", which stars Bill Paxton, and is beginning it's second season.

Anyhow, I guess I'm a little surprised that I didn't see her on the list.

I was more than a little surprised that Bart, Lisa & Maggie Simpson, who are not real children, were included in the list (especially considering they have not, in fact, grown at all).
