A recent thread asked about the greatest musical artist of "all time".<br /><br />My GDaughter was watching a show this morning about the 50 greatest child actors of "all time".<br /><br />When did "all time" begin, 1980? 1990?<br /><br />In 200 years the music of Ludwig Van Beethoven will still offer some of the most magnificent and moving sounds ever heard. For a loooong time the songs of John Lennon and Paul McCartney will still enchant, as will the music of Richard Rogers, Leonard Bernstein and other 20th Century artists.<br /><br />Among the top child actors of "all time" Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, Jackie Coogan and Ron Howard were not in the top 25, if they were mentioned at all. Who was #1? CARTOON CHARACTERS, for crying out loud!<br /><br />I guess my generation was born before "all time" began.
