Hook Amber Scott Actress 2014, If there’s one thing every child fantasizes about, it’s always playing with friends and never growing up. While this is impossible, though some try, we can live vicariously through the movies of our childhoods. One of the movie staples for any child of the 1980s wanting to retain youth is Hook.
Starring Hollywood bigwigs Robin Williams, Julia Roberts, Dustin Hoffman, and Maggie Smith, this family comedy couldn’t go wrong. While these big stars have remained solidified in the public eye, whatever happened to the lost boys, and girl, of Hook? What does a kid do after being in a movie with these silver screen icons?
