Producer Don Fedderson insisted that the character of Buffy remain perpetually six years old, even as Anissa Jones, the actress playing her, grew into her teens. In promotional appearances, Jones was still required to bind her chest and carry the Mrs. Beasley doll. This dehumanizing treatment is thought to have contributed to Jones feeling too typecast to continue her acting career. This discouragement also contributed to her dissolute behavior in her teen years until she died of a drug overdose at the age of 18. As her mistreatment as a child actor not allowed to act her true age became public knowledge, it became informally accepted from then on in Hollywood that all child actors in live-action roles must be allowed to grow up normally and have their characters reflect that progress.
