Young actors, timeless performances

Forty years ago, Tatum O'Neal became the youngest Academy Award winner for her performance in "Paper Moon." She was 10 years old.

Eleven-year-old Anna Paquin took home the Oscar 20 years later for her role in "The Piano."

Could 6-year-old Onata Aprile be the next young actor to follow in their footsteps? Her performance in "What Maisie Knew," out on DVD and streaming this week, was called "remarkable" by film critic Ty Burr in The Boston Globe.

Stephanie Curtis joins Kerri Miller to discuss young actors in film.
