Child Stars
A selection of music for films led by actors not yet in or out of their teens, prompted by the release of Artemis Fowl with a new score by Patrick Doyle.
Matthew Sweet features a selection of music for films that have been led by actors not yet in or out of their teens. From the likes of Jackie Coogan, Shirley Temple, Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, to more recent stars such as Jodie Foster, Daniel Radcliffe and Asa Butterfield.

Directed by Kenneth Branagh, it has a new score by Patrick Doyle, and stars 15 year old Ferdia Shaw.
The programme features music from 鈥榃hat Ever Happened To Baby Jane?, 鈥楩inding Neverland鈥�, 鈥楾he Kid鈥�, 鈥楤right Eyes鈥�, 鈥楥aptains Courageous鈥�, 鈥楤abes In Arms鈥�, 鈥楬unted鈥�, 鈥榃illie Wonka And The Chocolate Factory鈥�, 鈥楾he Parent Trap鈥�, 鈥楶ollyanna鈥�, 鈥楾axi Driver鈥�, 鈥楳iss Peregrine鈥檚 Home for Peculiar Children鈥�, 鈥楬arry Potter And The Philosopher鈥檚 Stone鈥� as well as music from Patrick Doyle鈥檚 new score.
