Here comes Honey Boo Boo: she’s 19, a college student, and getting ready to share her story in a biopic about her family’s struggles and life as a child beauty queen.
Alana Thompson rose to fame at age six after appearing on the TLC child beauty pageant show Toddlers & Tiaras.
The dynamic with her mother, “Mama June” Shannon, captivated viewers so much that the network created a spinoff series dedicated to the family. It premiered in 2012 and featured Thompson’s sisters: Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell, who passed away from cancer in 2023, Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon, and Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird.
