Young Stars Who Grew Up to Be — Gasp! — Relatively Normal
Seeing all the publicity around
Kit Kittredge: An American Girl has me thinking about how normal the film's young star, Abigail Breslin, seems. She's already got an Oscar nomination and some headlining roles under her belt, and so far it's hard to imagine her winding up like so many other young actors these days, getting attention for their downward spirals rather than their stellar performances. So, as a plea to keep Breslin on the up-and-up, I thought it would be fun to check out some young stars who made good. No, they didn't all win Oscars; some had dark years or briefly faded out of the spotlight. But overall, they grew into seemingly nice people with Hollywood careers to be proud of. To see some potential role models for Breslin, just hit "Start."

Justine Bateman, but no Jason Bateman? How about Kirsten Dunst?
1Good choices, Buzz.
2What about Christina Applegate and Fred Savage? Two of my favs...
3There's also the kids from the Cosby Show that grew up to be rather normal...heck, even Lisa Bonet is relatively normal.
I actually think that far more Hollywood kids grow up normal, but America supposedly loves a tragedy/trainwreck, so it's the terrible ones that are often spotlighted...leading the good ones to live nice quiet, normal lives!!!
4I agree with tiabia.
and why is Abigail Breslin even on the list - she's still a child. (12 years old)
5kimpossible,
Abigail Breslin is just one the 'cover page' b/c she is who started Buzz thinking about child celebrities who have grown up relatively normal. Because so far she seems to be doing a good job... It says:

ahh thank you, I missed that part. I did scroll through all the other pictures though.
7You're welcome
8I've always been so proud of Elijah Wood for doing well. And to think I was the oddball back in grade school when everybody else liked Devon Sawa and Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
