Alan Arkin Hoped Abigail Breslin Would Lose

I think age limit could be good. Fame really messes up children's heads. They don't really need all those career prizes. It's ok if you act, but you should also have time to play and go to school. There's enough time for big-time acting when you are an adult.

completely agree with him...
who wants her to be another tatum oneal?
sounds like a wise man who's been in the business and cares....

I'd agree with that, because Tatum became a hot mess later on in life.

I've loved Alan Arkin since he terrorized Audrey Hepburn in Wait Until Dark. No matter how many times I've seen it, I scream my head off when he comes at her like a flying squirrel.

Kudos to him for speaking his mind, and having such a thoughtful opinion.
