The Death of a Star: Judith Barsi, Gone Too Soon

Judith Barsi was a child star on the rise, having been discovered at the age of 5 at a skating rink in the San Fernando Valley. She’s said to have been in over 70 commercials, but she’s most known for her voiceover work in The Land Before Time as Ducky and All Dogs Go to Heaven as Anne-Marie. That all came to an abrupt halt in 1988 when she and her mother were killed by her own father. This week, Briana takes us through a tragic case of abuse that consumed a bright star far too soon.
