From fame to working a 9-to-5: The struggles of being a D-listed celebrity

Brittany Ashton Holmes

She was the darling of the silver screen in the iconic film, “The Little Rascals,” as Darla, the cute little girl that melted hearts. But, as the credits rolled, it seemed that Hollywood had no more roles for Brittany to play. Retiring from acting in 1996, just two short years after the film’s release, it was as if the spotlight had been snuffed out before it had truly had a chance to shine.

But, all is not lost! This charming actress has traded in the glitz and glamor of Hollywood for the laid-back vibe of Los Angeles. You can now catch her whipping up lattes and cappuccinos at the Starbucks she’s working at. But don’t be fooled by her barista duties, Brittany is also pursuing a degree in Political Science, surely making her the most well-rounded barista you’ve ever met. Whether she’s brewing coffee or studying for her exams, Brittany’s career may have been short-lived, but her role as Darla will always be remembered as a truly captivating performance.
