Child stars to Adult Stars

It's sure hard to tell under the three pounds of make-up and hair-spray. So...you say she's fine, but has she been successful? That's what this thread is about...kids who made it big time as adults.

Keisha Knight Pulliam has been around since she was a little kid in 1984 (Cosby Show) and, now an adult, is still acting today which I would believe to be a success....wouldn't you?

hayley mills, annette funicello (shame what happened to her) roddy mcdowell, janet jackson, diane lane, melissa gilbert

Some nice choices susan. I had forgotten about Roddy McDowell.


I'd also like to add to the successful list...Natalie Wood.



Child stars who fizzled as they grew up...

Margaret O'Brien and Freddie Bartholomew.


Loner...about Judy Garland.
I think she transitioned very successfully from a child star to an adult star. It's just the way her movie career stopped that seemed like a failure...and don't forget she went on to have a successfully career with her concerts. I also think she'll always be the banner girl of how the studio system at the time failed her as a child and an adult.
