Marla Olmstead

This documentary aired a few years ago, I found it fascinating, moving, inspiring and also reaaallly sad, I wanted to share it here to see what other people's views were on it. But I mean really, who wants to be famous at 5?! It's crazy, poor kid. Just type the name 'Marla' into google and it's the top hit. It doesn't look like the website has been updated for a while though because Marla would be nearly 11 now.
