Danny Lloyd’s first film was this one and it was also his last, for whatever reason he retired from acting shortly after – which surely sets the film’s conspiracy fans into a tizzy. There are seldom few films in modern history as beloved as The Shining, and seldom films where a star is born instantly and then flutters out instantly as well. Lloyd thought he was just making a drama about a family in a hotel. But luckily the director of The Shining, Stanley Kubrick did all he could to actually shield little Danny Lloyd from the fact that he was the star of one of the trippiest, most haunting horror movies ever made. It's enough to drive a kid crazy, or at least traumatize him for life. All of that insane nonsense and we haven't even gotten to dear old dad being driven completely nucking futs by all of the pyro and ballyhoo going on around him. Ghosts, goblins, hedge mazes, elevators filled with blood, and being able to commune telepathically with some weird old guy. Who would have thought that there are so many things that could happen in the life of a small boy living in a hotel with just his mom and dad. In the film, Bradley is sentenced to die. Brad Pitt (who she also starred with in Kalifornia) played Billy who introduces her to drugs and prostitution and then to kill the man she loved. The real life story and the lady known for playing crazed girls crossed paths, Lewis played the TV version of Cannaday, Amanda Sue Bradley in the TV film, Too Young To Die in 1990, when Lewis was 17 and her character was 15.

For her crime, even though Gray had been the person to convince her to murder Ronald Wojcik was sentenced to die by lethal injection, which was commuted to a life sentence, being released on parole in 2008. She was 16 years old at the time and had been married and then divorced by the age of fourteen.

In 1982, Attina Marie Cannaday killed a man with the help of David Gray. Since her portrayal of crazy psycho killer, Mallory Knox in Natural Born Killers, Juliette Lewis has been known for playing all kinds of in–your–face bad ass girls, including Iron Maven in Whip It and Katherine Fuller in From Dusk Till Dawn.
