Well, to go slightly out of topic...
I've now finnished watching all the Land Before Time movies.. And I ended up reading about Judith Barsi. I found her story to be so sad, so touching, that I wanted to share it with all of you, if you haven't heard it already.
Here's some Tribude Videos:
Judith Barsi voice acted Duckie (The small yellow dinosaur) in the first movie of The Land Before Time in 1988. She was never able to play Duckie in the second movie which was released some years later, due to her father.
On July the 25th, her father found out that his wife was gonna leave him. He entered little Judith's room and shot her. Her mother heard the gunshot and came running. The father shot her in the hallway, before leaving the house and setting on the fire. He then went to the garage where he shot himself.
Mother and daughter was buried in an unmarked grave. In June 2004, a fund started was set up to give the deceased child-star and her mother a headstone. Judith's grave was marked in August 2004, while her mothers was marked in January 2005.
On Judiths stone, it said
"Our Concrete Angel - Yepp Yepp Yepp." Yepp yepp yepp being Duckies quote in the movie.
Her mother's tomb it said
"The Wind Beneath JEB's Wings - Yepp Yepp Yepp" JEB being Judiths initals.
If those videos and this story doesn't move a person, then they're truely heartless indeed.
