A child star from Honey I Shrunk The Kids is completely unrecognisable over three decades after the film’s release.
Amy O’Neill was 18 years old when she starred as Wayne Szalinski’s (played by Rick Moranis) daughter Amy in the hit Disney film in 1989.
She had began auditioning for roles from the age of 10 before making her first appearance on television three years later on an episode of Mama’s Family as a younger version of Betty White’s character, Ellen Harper.

Her career kept progressing as she got older, before getting her big break in Honey I Shrunk The Kids, where she was shrunk by her father’s invention.
Her performance was lauded and she was nominated for a Young Artist Award.
She then reprised her role in the sequel, Honey I Blew Up The Kid, three years later in 1992, albeit only in the opening scene where she left for university.
She also starred as Pandra in 1992’s White Wolves: A Cry in the Wild II and played minor roles in such shows as Murder She Wrote and Gabriel’s Fire.
O’Neill continued acting for a further two years until 1994, when she decided to leave Hollywood after getting scripts that required nudity and decided to become a performance artist — still working as one in LA.
