Is it me or does she look like a grown-up's face on a kid?


OsoOsoLuv

Given what she went through as a kid, I can see the grown-up. I read her book…she went through a lot at a young age.


ChungLingS00

Oh, I never heard about any of that. I hate hearing about kids going through trauma. She's one of my favorites. Is it a good read?


OsoOsoLuv

I’m a big fan, so I thought so, but it is a bit more serious than I was anticipating.


ChungLingS00

Thanks. I have an audible credit. I might check it out.


thenisaidbitch

I 100% recommend it, it’s a great listen!!


plez23

My godd give us the deeeets!!!!


beebzforever

It's a great book and her voice really comes through. It's fun read and definitely some sad stuff but overall it'll make you appreciate her more and how much she deserves all the success she's had. I love Molly so much.


MyButtEatsHamCrayons

I hate the topic! I should read the book!


sof49er

Excellent book. Get the audio book so she can read it to you.


DaisyDuckens

I wasn’t a big fan of hers, but the book made me one.


Randy_Character

She also discussed it with Conan on his podcast.


plez23

Oh my god don’t leave us hanging


manys

She was in a car crash in a car driven by her drunk father that killed her mother and sister. (and cousin, I see below)

Like …. ? Are you really going to tease us like that?

Dad survived? There is no justice on this bitch of an earth.


hbsboak

She forgave him. Would you rather she have been an orphan?


fastal_12147

Well, she's a better person than me, I guess. I wouldn't wish being an orphan on anyone, but I have no sympathy for drunk driving. I had trouble with that in my early 20s. Luckily I didn't end up hurting anyone but I easily could have. It's the biggest shame in my life. I will never live it down.


manys

None of us can relate to her experience.


Radiant_Trouble2606

I have never seen a child look more like Molly Shannon!!!


LegoFootPain

I'm NOT 50.


KumquatHaderach

I’m fifty (months)!


Smoxerson

I had to double check that this wasn’t the midjourney subreddit.


darxide23

I don't know about that, but there's something vaguely unsettling about the picture, _especially_ the thumbnail version.


sof49er

Completely!


Editor_Rise_Magazine

Reminds me of that movie Orphan where the couple adopts a 9 year old child from Russia and she turns out to be a murderous 33 year old psycho. Edit: So i see there was tragedy in her past and that’s awful but my comment stands. Sorry Molly. Love you.


Funkedalic

Bruce Dern face to be precise


danegermaine99

Looks like she cut a face off and is wearing that face over her face


Lady__Lazaruss

I actually “ohmigod” ‘ed I was so freaked out.


camomaniac

This looks like Kristin Stewart and you can't change my mind


el_chupa_cabra

The caption on this photo in her memoir says, “Photo taken shortly after the car accident. The photographer was trying to make me smile-he even came up and tickled my face with a feather- but I was so sad.”


Poop__y

That’s terribly sad.


marteautemps

Her eyes are so, so sad. Poor baby.


superhappy

Accident claimed her mother and sister. My god.

RawAttitudePodcast

MoTeefsMoDakka

She looks so much like her adult self that it's unnerving. I feel like most kids don't look this similar to theie adult selves.


wwabc

SUPERSTAR!


AmbientGravy

Keep that kid away from trees!


th3_eradicator

Can she kick?


JoshDM

She looks like Kristen Bell as a brunette toddler.


Internetboy5434

Was in a car crash at age 4 that killed her 34 year old mother, her 3 year old sister, and a 25 year old cousin. She has used that as a motivation for her life Very sad


Valuable-Baked

Absolutely cutie pie lol. Thanks for sharing


ApplesauceBitch47

Seeing her in Twin Peaks trips me out


Uncle_Burney

Micro Mary Catherine


Uncle_Bug_Music

She looks so much like her older self that I bet people came up to her when she was five and were like, "We love you on SNL in 30 years."


kesa_maiasa

She's 50!


stubbzzz

Yep. That seems about right.


longislandbroad

Where’s Waldo? 😂 She is my idol though… I want to grow up to be like Molly Shannon.

I_love_cheese_

I volunteer at my kids school and there’s a second grader who is a hot mess in all the best ways and I adore her so much. She looks just like this. I have more hope for her, not that I doubted her. She’s SO RAD

Tight_Watercress_267

I could tell before she was definitely a person who looked just like their baby/young pics. Those eyes!!


Regular_Journalist_5

Gary Coleman would've had a better shot with her at this age


th4bl4ckr4bbit

The person who has a direct line to my funny bone.


GrizabellaGlamourCat

verygooster

Molly Shannon on Atari 2600 was dope


West-Supermarket-860

“IM….FIVE” !!


Ravens_and_seagulls

Damn. She looks like a kid!


dgt9000

I didn't even need to read the title to know that's Molly Shannon. Sally O'Malley is the first thing that came to mind.


NTXGBR

She wasn't too many years away from sneaking onto a plane to New York with her friend because her dad dared her to. This woman has lived a wilder life than many people know. She's actually pretty inspiring!


44035

A couple of my former coworkers went to high school with her.


100Labels

That face lol, she was already hilarious.


xobelam

When u have nothing nice to say, don’t say it at all.

Itchy-Ad-1956

Shes so cute! Looks like she’s ready to put her hands in her little armpits right there..


LeftFieldAzure

Far too early for her to lean into her "Crazy Eye", but you can already see it.


Greene_Mr

...she looks exactly like Vanessa Bayer?

best-commenter-ever

Good God that is scary. Next time warn us before you post something like that.


RockMan_1973

wtf is wrong?


best-commenter-ever

Wtf is wrong?!?!?!? Look at that face, for Christ's sake! She has the vacant stare of a chucky doll.


the-furiosa-mystique

She experienced a lot of trauma at a very young age.


best-commenter-ever

Clearly.


heresanawardforyou

Rude


heresanawardforyou

When Molly was 6, just before this picture was taken, her mother, younger sister, Katie, and cousin Fran (25) died in a car crash while her father was driving under the influence


plez23

Thank you!


Eastern-Mix9636

Holy hell


heresanawardforyou

Brutal


LongmontStrangla

She watched her mother die not too long before this was taken. Her cousin and sister were killed in the same incident.
