Early Retirement of the Day: Toddlers and Tiaras star Little Eden Wood, best known for being really creepy in slo-mo, is retiring from the beauty queen scene to focus on selling more Little Eden-brand merchandise, like her $15 memoir From Cradle to Crown.
Good Morning America spoke with her pageant mom Micki, who said Eden was “following in the footsteps of some pretty big people who have done pageants, like [Miss Black Tennessee 1972] Oprah Winfrey.” When questioned if she was teaching Eden to value fame above all else, Wood responded “No.”
“So much of her life has nothing to do with that,” she went on to say. “As long as she enjoys what we’re doing and what she’s doing, Mama’s going to keep doing it…Why not see if we can’t have a Hollywood contract? A reality show? A spot on a Disney program? Why not? It’s the American Dream. It’s almost like her destiny.”
