[@AB-un4io]

Good on you, sister!! I was told the same about my daughter and I categorically said I would never do such a thing. That’s no kind of life for a child and everything in my being hates exploitation of all kinds. That’s why I would never have been a “highly successful “ business person…considering that the highly successful part infers outlandishly wealthy and I have no desire to get wealthy off the misery and suffering of others. Especially children. What kind of monster would consider such a thing? 😳 So shamefully selfish. It makes me feel so uncomfortable. In every way. I’m so glad to hear another voice of reason. 🙂 Happy Holidays to you and yours!

I think the worst part is that she was not truly loved by anyone around her. I am not surprised to hear the school Principal found her “incapable of acting” and that she was emotionally unstable later on in life. Even though she was very smart, she wasn’t able to grow mentally and emotionally, partly due to the neglect she suffered at such an young age. Thank you so much for your analysis, Dr. Grande.❤

[@natalier7204]

Yes. And they wanted her to replace her original identity with that of the child star/cash cow. Her own self wasn’t wanted. It’s one of the worst things a parent can do. I think Gia Carangi suffered because of the same with her mother who was more interested when she was a model. There are other examples too.

[@commonsense2680]

Are child actors now heavily regulated by whatever acting union they are supposed to join to act? I hope there is a state or federal system that prevents the abuse of these very susceptible kids. All I hear is horror stories of them being abused and/or ripped off of their money by parents and guardians. Then as grown ups they all seem to be addicted to something or end up in crime. Why would any parent want their kids to enter that Hollywood scene. Wait until they are adults before they do any professional acting. I don't know how Hollywood would get people to play kids in movies though?

[@nhmooytis7058]

I had fun taking dancing lessons in grade school and thought about going on in it but decided against it. My mom was encouraging but let me make my own choices. There was another girl at our dancing school who wasn’t very talented but had a ‘stage mother’. I always felt bad for Donnalynn.

Parents shouldn’t try to make kids live out their dreams.

One avenue to investigate if she is actually deceased is the Social Security Death Index. (amateur family genealogist here) . Even if she had changed her name a some point it is unlikely that her Social Security number was changed and Lora Lee might be tracked down that way.

[@goatsandroses4258]

Lora might have had some underlying condition to begin with, then she was probably somewhat traumatized by being abandoned by her mother and placed in a new home...no matter how good that home might have been. Then she found out that by pretending (acting), she could get the attention and love...or even some sense of control over her life...that she desperately craved. I think that judge saw something, perhaps that that child was emotionally on the edge and needed a home-life rather than fame and fortune. That fame, though, may have been the way she distracted herself from the pain she was feeling. It just seems like trauma and pain was piled on top of one another for that child, and I wonder if she didn't have a mental break at some point or some kind of dissociation.

[@moomyung9231]

My dad's younger brother was the 7th child of married but poor parents. They wanted him and the grandma was willing to take care of him, but I guess it did prove too difficult and he was put up for adoption. So even from loving homes kids can still be given up based on hard circumstances. My dad was the only child of married well-off parents, they just didn't want any kids so his adoption was arranged pretty early into her pregnancy.

[@joevignolor4u949]

The movie "The Godfather" was fiction but Mario Puzo based the original book on things that happen in real life and it contains many illustrations of typical human behavior. This explains why 50 years later people are still fascinated by the characters and events portrayed in the movie. The story of Lora Lee Michel brings to mind that rich, big shot movie producer depicted in the Godfather who had a more than professional interest in one of his female child actress proteges.

[@anjachan2]

Kids should be in kindergarten/school. Not in movie after movie ...

[@vladimirputindreadlockrast812]

It's possible Lora Lee emotionally matured during or after prison, and made a conscious decision to exit the path that had been an integral part of her history of abuse, which included Hollywood. True, she would never be famous again, but she had learned to defer reward, and the contingencies of reinforcement around being an actress were ultimately outweighed by the contingencies of reinforcement around a stable, peaceful final chapter of her life. By this theory, Lora Lee's final years might actually have been her happiest.

[@andreasrau2161]

Good afternoon, Dr. Grande. Sounds like the making of a great television miniseries. Unfortunately, she seems to be typical of the child stars of that era, where children (and the wages they earned) were controlled by others who saw them largely as milk cows. Once control is broken, the ex-child stars go crazy with "freedom," and the result seems to have been predestined. Damaged children who have been forced to live in fantasy worlds of the stage and screen rarely, I think, grow up into healthy adults. She might very well still be alive, although elderly, if her disregard for norms and conventions didn't get the best of her. Thanks for sharing!😀

[@elizabethwarman9028]

Good morning Dr Grande, very I interesting analysis. I remember my Grandparents, the Warmans, talking about LoraLee. They said she was impossible, and returned her to Foster Care. My Grandparents ran a Foster Care home. I think it is a shame that everyone saw LoraLee as a walking 100 dollar bill. This child needed Mental Healthcare. But, at the time mental illness treatment was frond( spelling) upon. If or if not LoraLee is dead, research at the county hall of records would prove if she is dead or not. The good old Death Certificate. Also, could you please do an analysis on actress Frances Farmer. She was my Dad's first cousin, and my sister and I'm first cousin once removed. Frances lived under the horrible strick rule of the mother. Her mother even wanted Frances to have s Frontal Lobemy. I would greatly appreciate this.

Someone needs to solve this. What happened to her child that she was pregnant with?

[@kenya1067]

So many kids back then would be given away after years of being with their families. The amount of trauma built up during those times. Absolutely insane. It seems like people during certain time periods truly lacked any emotional intelligence they just went off of survival or self fulfillment. Like "these kids are no good to us now that they aren't cute babies, so goodbye forever or until you can bring in some cash!"

Any film called "Mr. Soft Touch" is suspect! 🤣

[@raymondbriant6409]

Mr Grande, you have a nice manner about you and I like your informative talks. I hope you do well.

[@thierrymarcellus9082]

Great job, Would you do a video on Stephen Boss? I would love your input on that case. Thank you

Wow. I just watched Mr. Soft Touch on TCM the other day. I had never heard of her before that movie.

Sadly many child actors are easy prey for people using them for money and fame.

[@barbieblue3336]

For those if you wondering about adoption then - some families were so poor, it was necessary. No welfare etc then I don't think you can compare the money then with $ today . What child back then normally could make that $. So it was worth even more then

Unstable, lost and I could imagine her life story making a fascinating movie.
