13 Child Stars Who Lasted

A lot of child stars fade away or else end up on drugs and ruin what hope they could have had a long lasting career, I’m looking at you Lindsay Lohan, but some of them actually do make. Here are 13 child stars who had a long career.

Natalie Portman

Spotted in a Long Island pizza parlor at age 11 by a modeling rep, Portman landed the role of an assassin’s sad-eyed sidekick in 1994′s The Professional one year later. Unlike most of her Hollywood peers, Portman (who uses a stage name to protect her family from media attention) took a break from acting — to study psychology at Harvard. She says her parents keep her grounded. ”I value my private life and security way more than getting parts by flashing my boobs on some magazine or being a sex symbol in films,” she told EW in 2000. —Chris Nashawaty

Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio was barely 16 when he began popping up on TV, and before he’d even hit 20 there were clear signs of the nuanced work to come. In fact, in 1993, it was impossible not to notice the kid who held his own against a tyrannical Robert DeNiro in This Boy’s Life as well as channeling a mentally-challenged boy in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. Three years later, the post-modern Romeo + Juliet made DiCaprio a budding hearthrob, a job title he virtually redefined following the colossal success of Titanic in 1997. DiCaprio spent years avoiding celebrity and making dodgy choices. Beginning with Gangs of New York in 2002, however, he found a rewarding niche as Martin Scorsese’s go-to leading man. Nice work if you can get it. —Jeff Giles

Ron Howard

Born into an acting family in Oklahoma, Howard was The Andy Griffith Show’s freckle-faced Opie at 6. By 19, he was the star of Happy Days. But Howard’s interest always lay behind the camera — he shadowed George Lucas on the set of 1973′s American Graffiti and soon thereafter enrolled at USC film school. ”I was disappointed by the scripts I was getting after Graffiti,” he told EW in 1999. ”So I had a decision to make.” Howard chose directing. Twenty movies and four Oscar nominations later, it’s clear he made the right call. —Chris Nashawaty

Neil Patrick Harris

You could argue it began with his Golden Globe-nominated feature film debut in 1988′s Clara’s Heart, but we all knew Harris as Doogie Howser, MD, the 16-year-old doctor giving his appendicitis-suffering girlfriend Wanda a pelvic exam. (It’s still traumatizing.) Today, he’s a Broadway vet, an Internet star (Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog), a three-time Emmy nominee for his work on CBS’s How I Met Your Mother, and the man you call to host the Tonys and Emmys and to open the Oscars. In other words, he’s still an overachiever. —Mandi Bierly

Jodie Foster

At 3, Foster was the Coppertone kid. By 6, she was a regular on TV. And by 14, she was nominated for an Oscar for Taxi Driver. Foster left Tinseltown to attend Yale and later returned to acting feeling more centered. By age 29, she’d won Best Actress Oscars for The Accused and The Silence of the Lambs and directed her first film, Little Man Tate. ”Everybody tells you as a child actor that by the time you’re 18, it’ll be over,” she told EW in 2007. ”My mom got me … prepared for that …. My goal [was] to be in this for a really long time.” —Chris Nashawaty

Ryan Gosling

Gosling got his first big break at age 12 on TV’s The Mickey Mouse Club (along with castmates Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, and Keri Russell). ”Those kids were prodigies,” Gosling said to EW in 2007, crediting the Disney show for surrounding him with other young performers he could relate to and instilling discipline. Now he is one of Hollywood’s best young actors and has scored an Oscar nom for 2006′s Half Nelson. —Chris Nashawaty

Anna Paquin

As a wide-eyed 11-year-old, Paquin became the second youngest Oscar winner in history, taking home Best Supporting Actress for her role 1993′s The Piano. Working steadily in arthouse films (Hurlyburly), blockbusters (the X-Men trilogy), and TV, she’s now a Golden Globe winner for her performance as telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse on HBO’s True Blood. —Mandi Bierly

Ricky Schroder

Child stars never came cuter than Schroder in the 1979 tearjerker The Champ. By 12, he was starring on Silver Spoons, and at 28 (as ”Rick”), he took a high-profile role on NYPD Blue. ”There was never a period in my life when I didn’t work,” the actor told USA Today in 1998. ”I’ve always done two movies a year; they may not be blockbusters, but they’ve been good, honorable work.” —Chris Nashawaty

Drew Barrymore

For a while there, it looked like Barrymore might end up as a child-actor cautionary tale. Heir to a legendary acting dynasty, she was cast in a Puppy Chow commercial at just 11 months old. At 7, the adorable moppet played Gertie in E.T. Her tweens were a soap opera of drugs, alcohol, and virtually no parental supervision — she had her first drink at 9 and was in rehab by 13. She got sober the next year. ”I had to figure everything out for myself,” she told People in 2004. Today Barrymore is among the most bankable — and dependable — actresses in Hollywood. She also directs (Whip It). —Chris Nashawaty

Joseph Gordon Leavitt

The script version of his life would have him checking into a reality TV show with other faded child sitcom stars. Gordon-Levitt, who’d popped up with guest turns on TV series from the time he was 7, really hit it big at the awkward age of 15 on the hit show Third Rock from the Sun. Grounded by his time at Columbia University, Gordon-Levitt has since proved himself not only a fierce actor but a nifty song-and-dance man in the utterly romantic (500) Days of Summer. —Karen Valby

Jason Bateman

Bateman made his debut at 12 on Little House on the Prairie. His father was a TV director, and both he (Silver Spoons, The Hogan Family) and his sister, Justine (Family Ties), were household names before they could drive. Bateman admits to some lost years in the ’90s, but his persistence paid off (Arrested Development, Juno). ”I want to be around for a long time,” he told EW in 2007. ”Now that I’ve got another flash of relevancy, I don’t want to screw it up.” —Chris Nashawaty

Raven Symone

Raven was 3 when she showed up in the Huxtables’ living room — and ours. As The Cosby Show’s precocious Olivia, she was a regular on the sitcom’s last three seasons before enjoying a second act (if you can have a second act at 6!) on Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper. Since then, the now 24-year-old has juggled TV (That’s So Raven) and a music career. ”No matter how old you are, if your name is up there, they’re going to treat you like an adult,” she told EW in 2007. ”You can have fun, but it’s a job.” —Chris Nashawaty

Christina Ricci

After making her big screen debut as Cher’s daughter in Mermaids, Ricci became the adolescent ”it” girl through her roles in The Addams Family, Casper, and Now and Then. By her late teens, she successfully transitioned into more provocative material, earning a Golden Globe nomination for playing Dede in The Opposite of Sex. Steadily working over the last 20 years, Ricci has continued to choose diverse roles in films including Monster and Black Snake Moan, which has helped her fend off typecasting. Next up, she’ll tackle the period piece Bel Ami, with Robert Pattinson and Uma Thurman. —Emily Exton

Then & Now: The Most Successful Child Stars

You know how it goes, stage parents throw their children into so they can live their failed attempts at stardom and also make a fortune from their children. Usually the kid ends up in rehab for drugs and alcohol. But this is not always the case as you can see from the following child stars up made a long lasting career out of it.

DREW BARRYMORE, Age: 34
Years in Show Business: 33

The fourth generation in an acting family, Drew appeared in a commercial when she was eleven months old. After winning over audiences at age six in “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” Drew had some tough teenage years.

CHRISTIAN BALE, Age: 35
Years in Show Business: 23

Though he appeared in some TV movies beforehand, Bale’s first major role was as the lead in Steven Spielberg’s “Empire of the Sun.” Since then, his star has steadily risen.

This year, he starred in a pair of summer blockbusters: “Terminator Salvation” and “Public Enemies.”

JODIE FOSTER, Age: 46
Years in Show Business: 43

A Coppertone Girl at age three, Jodie was doing guest spots on TV by six. While shooting her first movie, Disney’s “Napoleon and Samantha,” 10-year-old Jodie was picked up and mauled by her lion costar. It left her with scars, but didn’t diminish her drive. She went on to win two Best Actress Oscars, continues to star in hits like “The Brave One,” and is currently directing her third feature.

ELIJAH WOOD, Age: 28
Years in Show Business: 21

After appearing in a Paula Abdul video in 1988, Elijah got a one-line part in “Back to the Future Part II.” He got critical attention for 1990′s “Avalon,” and in his review for 1994′s “The War,” Roger Ebert called him, “the most talented actor in his age group in Hollywood history.” He lobbied hard to earn the role of Frodo Baggins in “The Lord of the Rings,” and the enormous popularity of the three films made him famous worldwide.

CHRISTINA RICCI, Age: 29
Years in Show Business: 23

Like many others, Christina was a child model until she got her first acting gig in the 1990 movie “Mermaids” with Cher. After the success of “The Addams Family,” she became known for quirky and sometimes dark roles. She started taking on more adult roles with the bawdy “The Opposite of Sex,” and got great reviews starring with Samuel L. Jackson in “Black Snake Moan.”

LEONARDO DICAPRIO, Age: 34
Years in Show Business: 19

Leo is a late-comer compared to some, getting his first break at 15 on the short-lived TV version of “Parenthood” in 1990. He appeared on the last season of “Growing Pains,” but really got attention starring with Robert De Niro in 1993′s “This Boy’s Life.” The next year he was Oscar nominated for “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.” And then he was in the biggest movie of all-time. Next up: his fourth movie with Martin Scorsese, “Shutter Island.”

SCARLETT JOHANSSON, Age: 24
Years in Show Business: 15

Johansson got her start at the tender age of nine with a bit part in Rob Reiner’s box-office dud “North.” Now she’s a bona-fide A-lister. Next year, she will star as the duplicitous Black Widow opposite Robert Downey Jr. in “Iron Man 2.”

NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, Age: 36
Years in Show Businesses: 21

Harris’ first big role was in 1988′s “Clara’s Heart” with Whoopi Goldberg, but he really hit the limelight when he landed the lead in the TV series “Doogie Howser, M.D.” Now, he stars in another top-rated series, “How I Met Your Mother,” along with playing a twisted version of himself in two “Harold & Kumar” movies.

REESE WITHERSPOON, Age: 33
Years in Show Business: 19

Reese auditioned for a bit part in “The Man in the Moon” on a lark and wound up with the lead. She’s since gone on to win an Oscar for her turn as June Carter Cash in “Walk the Line.” This year, she could be heard in “Monsters vs. Aliens.”

SETH GREEN, Age: 35
Years in Show Business: 25

Green first major role was in the 1984 Jodie Foster movie “The Hotel New Hampshire,” and he played Woody Allen’s younger self in “Radio Days.” He’s since gone on to play memorable parts in “Austin Powers,” “The Italian Job,” and most recently “Sex Drive,” along with creating the stop-motion animated series “Robot Chicken.”

NATALIE PORTMAN, Age: 28
Years in Show Business: 15

Portman first role was in Luc Besson’s “The Professional” (aka “Leon”) in 1994. After she took a brief hiatus to go to Harvard, Portman went on to star in Oscar-nominated movies and crowd-pleasing blockbusters. She costarred with fellow former child star Scarlett Johannson in “The Other Boleyn Girl,” and watch for her in the 2011 Marvel flick “Thor.”

JASON BATEMAN, Age: 40
Years in Show Business: 28

Jason’s first job was in 1981 on TV’s “Little House on the Prairie,” starting at age 12. He tried unsuccessfully to break out into movies with 1987′s “Teen Wolf Too.” After some lean years in the ’90s, he bounced back with a Golden Globe win for “Arrested Development,” and this year he’s in five movies, including the lead role in “Extract.”

KIRSTEN DUNST, Age: 27
Years in Show Business: 24

At three years old, Kirsten was a child model in commercials, and at eight made her film debut in Woody Allen’s section of “New York Stories.” She made a big impression kissing Brad Pitt when she was only 10 in “Interview with a Vampire.” Since then she had huge hits with the “Spider-Man” movies and showed of her majestic side as “Marie Antoinette.”

KURT RUSSELL, Age: 58
Years in Show Business: 46

JENNIFER CONNELLY, Age: 38
Years in Show Business: 27

Jennifer got her start in the biz at age 14 when she landed a role in Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon a Time in America,” but her career took off two years later when she was cast as the lead in “Labyrinth” opposite David Bowie. In 2001, Connelly won an Oscar for her performance in “A Beautiful Mind,” and this past year she starred in “The Day the Earth Stood Still.”

RON HOWARD, Age: 55
Years in Show Business: 50

Ron Howard has had three stages of his career: as a child actor, starting at age five on “The Andy Griffith Show” and then in movies like “The Music Man”; then as a young adult star in “American Graffiti” and “Happy Days”; and his current incarnation as the Oscar-winning director of “A Beautiful Mind” and hit-making film and TV producer.

DEMI LOVATO
On performing at the Disney Channel’s Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future concert: “It”s not just another president. What’s great about having the Disney Channel at the inauguration is now kids can be able to realize what a great experience this will be … I’m ridiculously nervous to a point where I don’t know what I’ll be able to do with myself. And I really hope I don’t fall.”

PORTIA DE ROSSI
“Don’t we all have so many hopes for that poor man?”

KIEFER SUTHERLAND
“I’m going to watch it on the telly like most other people.”

NICK JONAS
“It’s absolutely an honor to be able to perform. We’ve always talked about a future in the White House one day, so to be able to go back should be fun. What we’re doing is all for the children and families of the military … We know that Sasha and Malia [Obama] are fans of ‘Burnin’ Up’ which is probably what we’ll playing.”

JENNIFER BEALS
“I’ll be there. I started working for the campaign during the primaries. Then I went to Ohio to speak. I went to Pennsylvania twice, knocked on doors, phone banks, talked to five, 10, 500 people, just did as much as I could. He means the change that you want to see in yourself. The economy is first and foremost, obviously.”

PAULA ABDUL
“I’m going to be in Tampa on Home Shopping. I’m going to watch with my friends.”

JASON BATEMAN
“I”m excited … we’re putting a new face on the leadership of this country, somebody representing all of us Americans that is a bit more appealing to the rest of the world, somebody who comes from a bit more of a common-sense position. That’s been lost for the last eight years. In fact, I’m going to be shooting a PSA for him, a pledge — you’re trying to pledge what you plan on doing to sort of better the country. Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, a bunch of people [are going] to make it. We’re going to deliver it to Obama, I think, on Inauguration Day.”

DENIS LEARY
“We’re going to be watching at work. Larenz [Tate] is going so my plan is to call him on his cell phone as often as I can that day and see if he’s finagled himself into the White House or not. We’re just looking for ashtrays and souvenirs that he can steal and bring back on set because he has to be back at work the next morning.”

AMBER TAMBLYN
“It’s going to be amazing. I have friends flying to New York tomorrow, who are going to take the train down to D.C. They’re coming from L.A. to go to it. Everyone is doing something for it.”

EDIE FALCO
“I was invited. I’d give my right arm but we’re in the middle of production, so we’re going to watch it on set.”

JIMMY FALLON
“I’m doing Ellen on Tuesday and then after that I guess I’m just going to watch it. I guess I’ll just watch it on TV but I’m excited about it. Change is good.”

SCOTT FOLEY
“I hope to watch it if I’m not working. I don’t have any plans specifically for the inauguration aside from the same kind of plans I had during the election, turn the TV on and be a part of history that way.”

SHIRLEY MANSON
“Hell, yeah, of course. I’ve got my Obama T-shirt ready. I’m going to wear it the whole way through. Like most of my friends and people that I know, I’m really excited about his possibilities and potential.”

SETH MacFARLANE
” It’s going to be a clusterf–k, but I’ll be watching. We all fought hard to make this happen. Here’s my theory: It’s going to take one term just to undo everything that George Bush has f–ked up. And by the way, not just George Bush but Reagan. too … So I think, step one, we have to admit to ourselves we have to give Obama two terms, and we have to let the Democrats continue to undo everything that’s gone wrong since the ‘80s. My fear is that eight years will roll by, assuming he gets elected a second term, and they’ll go, ‘Why didn’t he fix everything completely?’ And they’ll elect Sarah Palin, who will completely take the country to s–t, and if that happens, we do not deserve to be the dominant power any longer.”
