Could your kid be a star?

Judy Goss knows everything about the world of modeling. A former actress and model of Ford and the author of "Break Into Modeling for under $ 20," Goss knows how difficult and can become more competitive. Still, that not more of her shepherd their 4-year-old twin daughters, Dara and Danielle, from audition to audition, hoping they in the business.

"You are very outgoing and theatrical, and identical twins are rare," says Goss, 40, lives in a New York suburb. So she got professional pictures taken by their daughters, and has hours-long lines with them, hoping they will land a coveted place on a commercial, TV or print ad. (So far, they have a common bit part on "Law and Order," back when they were children.)

As the economy falters and unemployment rises, the prospect of implementing your children to work - in the world of acting, modeling or even beauty Festival - may seem more tempting than ever. But would-be stage mothers and fathers should take note: Your child help for the heavy investment of time and money. It is usually the parents to share portfolios slow children from audition to audition and contacts in the modeling world. And it may take years for the family to see any substantial income, if at all.

Goss, who is also a spokeswoman TheCuteKid.com, a web portal for kids interested in modeling, says that lately she has hordes of parents feed their offspring with only a brief encounter with a casting agent. "One could pay enough so that we never have to worry about the school," says Goss. "You get an allowance every time the commercial airs, so you could for a long time." Twins, she notes, have even more potential. (Olsens, anyone?)

There is the potential upside that the parents moves. Take 12-year-old Ashton Cline of New Orleans that used to be for more than a year and already has three commercials and a small film under his belt. He has a representative for a certain time and only with Morgit Management in New York. Is he rich? Not yet. "But the potential is amazing," says his mother, Gnanse Nelson.

This is the same way Alan Byrd feels about his daughter Abby. Two years ago, when Abby was 3, she was filmed for a local TV spot. The director praised Byrd and told them they should act so that their parents signed for their classes, the head shots and has her an agent. Since that time, but not much comes. "We have since their introduction in the local theater, but as usual, it's an audition with unpaid roles," says Byrd, lives in Orlando, Fla.

Jennifer Bourgoyne of San Jose, California, is trying to her son, in cash. Cash and his brothers' films have always done because it could be "directed" at 18 months, "says Bourgoyne." Do I want him to be a celebrity all his life? Goodness, no! I hope to get a doctor out of this one.
