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.

Caster Semenya’s brilliance 15 years ago sparked an ongoing battle to compete. One of the greatest athletes of our time, Semenya is not the only champion who has been wrongly blocked from competition. I am a filmmaker, who made a documentary Category: Woman in 2022. I had the privilege of witnessing the heartbreaking stories of women athletes from the Global South, torn from their sport, due to racist,...
