Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

Some earthquakes are caused by human activities, such as mining, reservoir-induced seismicity from filling large reservoirs, geothermal energy extraction, and wastewater injection from oil and gas operations. These activities can alter the stress conditions in the Earth's crust, releasing built-up seismic energy. Human-induced earthquakes, also known as anthropogenic or induced seismicity, are caused by human activities.
