Re: Any child actors from Columbo that went on to successful acting career as adult?
I would say Lee Montgomery (from MIND OVER MAYHEM), but I'm not sure if he really stayed an actor beyond his teens. (There was a thread here about him some time ago, and I think it answered that question.)
Re: Any child actors from Columbo that went on to successful acting career as adult?
Not that I know of. Lee Montgomery added quite a lot to his resume after his stint as Steven Spelberg, but left acting in 1988 to become a musician, and Dawn Frame (Audrey in Étude in Black) vanished in 1975. I can't think of any other kids appearing in Columbo.
Re: Any child actors from Columbo that went on to successful acting career as adult?
I was just wondering about the opposite thing, COLUMBO actors who STARTED as child actors. I thought of that because I just saw CANDIDATE FOR CRIME with Jackie Cooper. (When Columbo said "When you were a kid, did you ever throw rocks at street lights?" I thought "That's a safe bet, since he was one of the Little Rascals!")
Since she had celebrity parents, was Tisha Sterling a child stress? About the earliest thing I associate with her is either the movie VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS or the Hitchcock episode CHANGE OF ADDRESS. (Since it's part of the Alfred Hitchcock HOUR, it's a relatively late one, so she's a teenager in it.)
