I agree! She's very talented. I'm glad Sally Draper has become a much more prominent character over the last couple of seasons.

Or she could be the next Lindsay Lohan. You never know with the whole child acting thing.

They all have the potential to end up like Lindsay Lohan.

I don't think that's entirely true - it seems to depend a lot on what their family is like. So many child actors are meal tickets for their families, which is why the parents often don't take the responsibility they should. Lohan is a prime example of that, and her parents are dysfunctional in other ways as well. (I also think in her case she's perhaps looking for attention more than she's truly in love with acting as an art form or craft, which Kiernan seems to be.)

If the child has stable parents who are supportive, but also protective when they need to be, and who keep their child grounded and are not seeking money and attention for themselves, they are much less likely to go off the rails. For example, Chloë Grace Moretz has remained very grounded due to her parents, who seem to be doing everything right.
