Alyson Stoner is one of the most recognizable former child actors of the mid-2000s. They got their big break starring as “the little white girl” in the music video for Missy Elliott’s “Work It,” before eventually appearing in successful film franchises like “Cheaper by the Dozen” and “Camp Rock.” But in their new memoir, "Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything," Alyson exposes the dark realities of child stardom, from working 80 hours a week at age eight, to learning how to distinguish fan mail from kidnapping plots, to eating disorders. They join Tom Power to talk about rebuilding their life.
