10 Child Actors Who Beat The Odds

Child stars are usually precocious, talented and driven, so it would make sense that many of them go on to be successful adults. And, while some do take their earnings and leave Hollywood to lead "normal" lives, others become caught up in the fame and lose their way, never again basking in the limelight. Yet, there are an exceptional few who have smoothly transitioned into successful adult actors. Read on for 10 young stars who continued their Hollywood careers—and turned out pretty normal—despite the early pressures of fame.


Kristen Stewart:

Stewart's first major gig was at 12 years old as Jodie Foster’s daughter in Panic Room. She also played a small part in Sean Penn's critically acclaimed film Into the Wild before she was catapulted into mega-stardom with her role as Bella Swan in the 2008 film Twilight. Stewart’s father is a TV producer and her mother is a script supervisor, so maybe their Hollywood acumen is responsible for her grounded attitude; unlike other starlets her age, she’s not likely to be seen stumbling out of clubs late at night.
