Cole Sprouse, along with his twin brother Dylan, has had a great career in Hollywood as a child artist. They started their career when they were only six and have been working non-stop since then.

Emil Minty – Jeweller
The Feral Kid from the movie Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) has surely grown up to be a nice young man. Emil Minty was a child actor in the eighties. He acted in a few other movies like The Flying Doctors, The Winds of Jarrah, and Fluteman.
However, none of them had been as big or as significant as his role as Mad Max 2. After a short stint in the movie industry, he became a jeweler. Maybe he has investments and can launch his own business someday.
Erin Murphy – Writer
The little girl from Bewitched has grown up a lot now. And interestingly, Erin and her twin took turns in playing the role of Tabitha. However, as they grew up, their looks became dissimilar, and finally, Erin got the role of Tabitha. She didn’t act much once the show ended but she had other jobs, too.
Stylist, makeup artist, casting agent – she tried her hands in all these! Now, she is a writer, motivational speaker, and also the face of her husband’s company Verge Living in Las Vegas. We hear, she has also started a new business. She has alpaca in her ranch and her business is alpaca knit wear. A woman of substance, she is.
Danny Lloyd – Professor
Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining can terrify even the bravest of adults. At the age of only six, Danny Lloyd acted in it, bagging the lead role. This was possible because the brilliant director that Kubrick was, he never let the boy understand it was a horror movie while filming it.
However, the glamor and glitz of Hollywood didn’t tempt this boy. He went to lead his life his way. Eventually, he became a professor in a community college in Kentucky! We hear he teaches biology.
Jeff Cohen – Lawyer
If the name brings to mind a cute, plump, little boy with a sweet smile then you might not be able to recognize him now. Jeff Cohen has changed so much over the years, and how! He is popular for the Spielberg movie The Goonies.
As he entered puberty, he started playing football in order to lose a few pounds. Though he didn’t act after growing up, this child actor went to UC Berkley for college and got a degree in business administration. Later, he got a degree in law and is now practicing the profession.
Fairuza Balk – Actress
Most of us are familiar with the film version of Wizard Of Oz starring Judy Garland. However, Disney came up with a darker version of the same story. Fairuza Balk starred in it as Dorothy Gale when she was only 11. However, her debut happened two years before that in another Disney movie - The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.
Born to a musician father and dancer mother, Fairuza was culturally inclined from a young age who remained in tinsel town even until now. We saw her perform in movies like Almost Famous, The Island Of Dr. Moreau, and The Craft. She has a bright career ahead and has enough in her bank account to keep her going till retirement it seems!
Lisa Blair & Michelle Blair – Devoted parents
It has been 27 years since Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg & Ted Danson starred in the 1987 comedic hit, Three Men and a Baby. But, do you ever think about what happened to their tiny co-star, baby Mary? Well, we did! And as it turns, baby Mary was actually played by twins, Lisa Blair and Michelle Blair Ontonovich! The twins were just 4-months-old when they took turns playing Mary Bennington alongside the funny trio. The film made history and was the highest grossing film in 1987, quite a success especially when one of the stars was just 4 months old!
Today, the twins are devoted parents residing in Canada. It is said however, that Michelle's youngest, Jacob looks exactly like his mom in the movie posters used to promote the film! Maybe there's a future in acting with Jacob - we will have to wait and see.
Dana Hill – Passed Away
Born Dana Goetz, Dana Hill was a child actress who got famous for her role in National Lampoon’s European Vacation. Her father used to direct commercials which helped her get in the industry at a very young age. Dana was a promising athlete who could have gotten in college with a full scholarship, but she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes which prevented her from making a career in sports.
She avoided her father’s last name and used her mother’s so that people won’t complain that she used her father’s name to get work. She made a name for herself with her performance in the movie Fallen Angel. At the age of only 32, she died from a diabetic stroke.
Natalie Gregory – Director Of Sales
At 10 old, Natalie was one of the youngest child artist to have played Alice in the TV series Alice In Wonderland which aired in 1985. However, she entered the industry even before that when she appeared in commercials.
Since then, she appeared in various movies, commercials, and cartoons. But in 1990, she took retirement from the film industry and is now the director of sales in a company. Her college education was definitely a good investment on her part!
Michael C. Maronna– Electrician
Michael C. Marona was a child actor from the nineties who starred in The Adventures of Pete And Pete. The show concluded in 1996, and Michael tried to get other roles. He appeared briefly in movies, TV series, and commercials.
But finally, he made a career out of being an electrician. Surely, his job is taking care of his insurance needs and investments despite being away from the spotlight.
Henry Thomas – Actor And Musician
Henry Thomas’s childhood picture is a dead giveaway! Every one instantly recognises him from one of the biggest blockbuster ever – E.T. :The Extra Terrestrial. The world-renowned Steven Spielberg movie had definitely given him early fame.
But unlike his peers, he stayed away from controversies and addictions and finished his college education and kept acting all the time. He is active even now at 46. We hope he has managed to amass a good amount of money so that his retirement days will be peaceful.
Devin Ratray – Actor
Remember Macaulay Culkin's big brother in Home Alone? The one who kept bullying him? That was Devin Ratray. After Home Alone, he kept looking for work and worked in minor roles in a few movies.
Eventually, he found success and has been in the movie industry until now, gaining much acclaim through his recent movies Nebraska and Blue Ruin. A few more projects are ongoing or coming up. He seems to have done good for himself. We hope his financial planning advisor gives him some good tips for future investments.
Quinn Cummings – Writer And Entrepreneur
At the age of ten, Quinn Cummings was the talk of town when she was nominated for an Academy Award For Best Supporting Actress in the movie The Goodbye Girl in 1977. Throughout the seventies and the early eighties, she worked in movies and TV shows and even worked as a casting agent.
However, she decided that life of glamor and glitz was not for her. Hence, she took early retirement and headed to college at UCLA. At present, she is a writer and entrepreneur. She invented HipHugger, a sling kind of device to carry babies, and got a patent for it, too. She has also made a name for herself as a blogger.
Alexa Pena Vega – Actress
Alexa Vega started young and she never had to take a hiatus. She found plenty of work throughout her career. When she was eight, she made her debut in the blockbuster Twister. But she got wide recognition for playing Carmen Cortez in the Spy Kids series.
Ever since, she has acted in movies, television soaps and shows, and commercials, even participating in reality shows like Dancing With The Stars. She didn’t have to take up a college program in order to have a good career as she already had enough in her bank account. She married singer Carlos Pena after her first marriage ended in divorce. The two must be completely smitten with each other as they combined their surnames to form a joint surname PenaVega.
Mason Gamble – Marine Biologist
Mason Wilson Gamble may be a reputed marine biologist today, but he will definitely go down in history as the little boy who beat 20,000 other children to win the role of Dennis for the movie Dennis The Menace. He even won a few awards and nominations for his performance as Dennis.
After that, he had a few other roles in movies and TV while he finished his college education. His last performance was in 2011, after which he decided that time investments in other fields is more beneficial for him.
Adam Hann Byrd – Actor/ Screenwriter
It is easy to recognise Adam Hann Byrd as the child actor from the movie Jumanji where he played the young version of Robin Williams. However, it was four years before Jumanji in 1991 that he debuted as Jodie Foster’s son in Little Man Tate.
Born to a writer mom and a cameraman dad, Adam wanted to complete his college programs in psychology and film studies. Ten years after his acting career ended, he started his career behind the camera, this time as a writer. Seems like he is good at it and might soon need a financial planning advisor for the money he is earning.
Peter Ostrum – Veterinarian
For Peter Ostrum, one movie changed his entire life forever; it so happens to be the only movie where he acted. When he was in his sixth grade, he was scouted by casting agents who were looking for a boy his age to act in the movie Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory. He was chosen after he passed the screen test.
The horses in the movie tickled his curiosity and he went on to become a veterinarian. He never acted in any other movie after that and turned down all offers. Well, he is doing good without being a movie star. Enough to pay his health insurance premiums, have a good credit score, and live a comfortable life.
Ashleigh Aston Moore - Deceased
Now and Then star Ashleigh Aston Moore is originally from Canada. The movie had several bigwigs including Demi Moore, Melanie Griffith, Christina Ricci, and Rosie O’Donell. She acted with these stalwarts and claimed her share of fame.
However, she was also part of a children’s series that aired on TV, and even later she got a few acting offers. However, early fame spoiled her career and she died at the age of 26 from a drug overdose.
Tania Raymonde – Actress
Tania Raymonde started her career in Malcolm In The Middle at the age of 12, and she never had to look back. She got one meaty role after another that kept her bank account quite full. Later, she appeared in ABC series Lost, NCIS, and The Nightmare Room.
She also acted in a movie called Children On Their Birthdays. At 30, apart from her acting career, she is also trying to make a name for herself as a director and is currently working on her first venture.
Patrick Renna – Actor
Patrick Renna became a popular face in the nineties. He stood out with his freckles, chubby cheeks, and mop of dirty blonde hair. His role in The Sandlot gave him the star status at an early age.
After his first stint, he acted in several other shows and often did guest appearances as well. We saw him in Boston Legal and X-Files, too. We hope the actor had made some good investments at the peak of his career.
Georgie Henley – Actress
How could we forget the cute Lucy Pevensie from The Chronicles Of Narnia series? Well, that cute little girl grew up to be a beautiful woman. Georgie Henley has chosen acting as her profession unlike many child stars who opted for a normal life away from the spotlight. Several other offers poured in for this English actress.
In between acting, she didn’t neglect education and received a degree in English from Clare College, Cambridge. This beauty clearly uses her brains, for now she has moved on to directing. She is directing her first short film TIDE. At this rate, there will always be tons of money in her banks and she will never need a bankruptcy lawyer.
Dante Basco -Voice Actor
An actor, a voice actor, dancer – Dante Basco is a versatile person it seems! We first saw him in the Robin Williams movie Hook who played the Lost Boys' leader. At present, he is famous for lending his voice to various movies, video games, and TV shows.
There has been no shortage of work for this guy, and we are sure he will never need the help of a bankruptcy attorney in his lifetime. He also has a few awards and accolades under his belt.
Hanson – Musicians
Isaac, Taylor, and Zac formed a very young rock band in nineties and named it Hanson, after their surname. The immensely talented brothers came up with the big hit "MMMBop". However, things didn’t go alright for them as their recording label changed.
Despite the fact that their album Middle Of Nowhere gained huge popularity, a conflict with their record label led to a three-year-struggle, after which the brothers left and as far as we know they are planning a comeback, too. The three brothers are in their 30’s now and have their own families. An impressive bank account and a happy family life might lead to compose even better songs, we hope!
Linda Blair – Actress And Animal Rights Activist
Horror movie fans will have no problem identifying Linda Blair from her great performance in the movie The Exorcist. In fact, Linda got nominated for an Oscar and won the Golden Globe for this role. Her mother, a real estate agent, realized her potential from a young age, though she dealt with mortgage loans and refinancing all her life.
Linda started her professional career from the age of five. Commercials, catalogues, print ads - her face was everywhere. She acted in TV soaps and serials much before her big break happened. She worked continuously but these were b-grade thrillers mostly. She is an animal rights activist at present.
Bridgette Anderson – Deceased
We have seen Bridgette Anderson for the first time in Savannah Smiles back in 1982. Since then, she has been spotted in some of the biggest TV series of eighties like Remington Steele, and Family Ties. However, early fame and a lot of wealth brings with them several temptations that are hard to resist especially in youth.
When it was her time to go to college and get a good education, Bridgette got addicted to alcohol and drugs. One thing led to another, and unfortunately, she passed away from an overdose of heroin when she was just 21.
Maureen McCormick – Actress
After her successful stint on television for Bewitched and I Dream Of Jeannie, Maureen McCormick entered the world of stardom.
She is also popular for her noteworthy performance in The Brady Bunch as Marcia Brady. This long-running TV series must have helped her gather a good amount of money that she can use for her retirement home later on.
Melissa Sue Anderson – Actress
Several commercials paved her path to an easy career in Hollywood. Her most noteworthy role was as Mary Ingalls in NBC’s Little House On The Prairie. She has acted in several movies and TV shows since then like Happy Birthday to Me and Midnight Offerings.
The 55-year-old American-Canadian actress is also a famous writer. Her autobiographical book that talks about her years as a child actress are a great read. It is called The Way I See It: A Look Back At My Little House.
Angus T. Jones — Actor
He has starred quite a lot on TV and films, but it was Two and a Half Men, the popular yet controversial sitcom, that has given Angus Jones the name and fame that he sought. Astonishingly, and contrary to expectations, Angus has never been perky or much keen about the TV show that has given him fame and brought him under the spotlight – he was even heard remarking that its content is as good as crap.
But, with first-string financial planning with the aid of a competent financial planning advisor and having raked in $300K per episode from the sitcom for more than a decade, he surely can take out some time to give out such unpleasant statements.
Tami Stronach — Dancer And Choreographer
The portrayal of the Childlike Empress in the 1980s movie The Neverending Story was a great start for Tami Stronach, and it was believed that her acting career was just about to begin. But unluckily, her parents didn’t support her decision of becoming an actress as they were apprehensive and afraid of the fact that Tami’s path may lead to an alcohol or drug rehab as has been the case with many Hollywood superstars.
After growing up like a normal kid, she decided to pursue dancing. Being a member of The Neta Dance Company, she has performed on numerous shows. Of late, she is all geared up to make a comeback on the silver screen with the film Ultra Low. It’s like a second home-coming after a brief retirement.
Noelle and Cali Sheldon – Actresses
We all remember Emma, Ross and Rachel’s little daughter, don’t we? But what happened to her after the conclusion of Friends? Well, MTV says that the toddler was played on screen by twins Cali and Noelle Sheldon. The sisters will be all of 16 this year. So, it has been more than fourteen long years since we have caught a glance at the cute baby of the Green-Geller family.
The twins have continued their respective careers since their early debut on Friends. Noelle last appeared in Maxwell, a 2013 short film, whereas the 2012 short Agorable was Cali’s last venture. It’s a pleasure to witness the Sheldon twins doing great in their career, and fans would surely love to watch them more on screen after they complete their college.
Evanna Lynch – Actress And Model
A self-confessed bookworm, Evanna Lynch credits this as the most important factor behind her casting in the Harry Potter series. Her role as eccentric Luna Lovegood was her shot at fame. Plus, concurring with J.K. Rowling definitely helped. At 26, Evanna has made up a robust acting career for her own, and it is beyond any doubt that she had the potential to become a top-notch actress in Hollywood before anorexia hit her.
But she has taken up the cudgels and is helping women across the globe in their fight against the disease. Though it’s a fact that a big portion of her time, money, and energy is spent on this charity that she does, we hope that at the same time she has had a health insurance done and doesn’t have to take the help of a bankruptcy attorney in the future.
Taylor Lautner – Actor, Model and Voice Actor
The Twilight star made his first appearance in front of the camera at the age of nine. Taylor got a huge break when he portrayed the character of Jacob Black in the Twilight series, playing an eye candy as well as a werewolf. Killer abs and looks to die for, Taylor a.k.a Jacob Black became a heartthrob to millions. No doubt that he has his savings account stacked up with currency and the credit score rising high.
The 26-year-old hottie is busy filling more with voice acting nowadays. This lad surely knows the ways of refinancing, and we are sure that he will never have the need to file for bankruptcy.
Jennifer Jason Leigh – Actress
Fast Times at Ridgemont High was her first silver screen appearance. Her career underwent a massive growth and so did her credit score as she starred in movies like The Hitcher and The Single White Female.
Her family filed a petition in court against Warner Bros after her father, Vic Morrow, breathed his last breath in a helicopter accident during filming. An off-the-court settlement was carried out with the help of a death attorney.
Jeremy Jackson — Actor
Any Baywatch fan will tell you who Jeremy Jackson is. The 90s witnessed the rise of Jackson, playing David Hasselhoff’s on-screen son Hobbie. After Jeremy quit Baywatch, things turned bad when he found himself caught in a web of drug addiction, leading to his downfall. Adding to that several encounters with the law, Jeremy is now nearing oblivion.
Though he tried his hand in a few productions and had a brief stint at Celebrity Big Brother, things didn’t work out for him. Today, Jackson has been forced into retirement as he went behind the bars for an alleged stabbing incident. Sad to see a star fall from the sky like this.
Jason J. Richter – Actor And Bassist
Appearing in TV commercials as a kid ensured that Jason was earning quite a lot of money and saving well from such a young age. After moving to Los Angeles, Jason inclined towards an acting career, and very soon, he was seen portraying the character of Jesse in the 90s movie Free Willy.
After having a great run at the box office in the 1990s, Jason’s acting career decelerated, but luckily, he found out a way of refinancing himself. He joined the band Fermata as a bassist and is experiencing a relaxed life out of the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. No doubt, the fear of bankruptcy is not there anymore.
Daniel Radcliffe — Voice Actor
The biggest role that Daniel Radcliffe ever played was undoubtedly that of Harry Potter. During the length of its filming, the English actor barely appeared in other movies and TV shows.
The talented actor got diagnosed with a neurological disorder, dyspraxia, at a very young age, but he managed to find a strong foothold in Hollywood against all odds, and also improved his credit score in the process. The actor has also dabbled in music videos and has made his mark on stage as well. Whatever he pursues in the future, we will always remember him as the Boy Who Lived.
Christina Ricci – 'RAINN' Spokesperson
It goes without saying that Christina Ricci has had an extremely busy career. It all started with The Addams Family, a 1990’s film, which catapulted her to fame and stardom. Since then, the actress has appeared in more than one hundred and fifty films and TV shows and netted an insane amount of money during her tenure in Hollywood.
We wonder how she manages to find out time for RAINN, a non-profit anti-assault organization for which she is a spokesperson. We think she has amassed so much money from her film career that she won’t ever be neck-deep in debt, and that she can start retirement planning right now.
Nick Jonas — Solo Musician
Very few fans ever imagined that the Jonas brothers would pursue their interests individually as their boy band garnered huge commercial success. Apparently, millions of dollars in the bank account was not a good enough reason for the Jonas brothers to stick together as a band.
With the brothers already pursuing solo interests, Nick Jonas has also done fairly well so far as two of his singles even entered the top 20 of the Billboard Top 100. With a handful of films and TV shows already in his kitty, we are quite sure that he won’t have to bother about bankruptcy in the near future.
Jennifer Love Hewitt — Writer, Musician And Actress
Jennifer Love Hewitt’s ascension from a child star to a grown-up celeb is regarded as one of the fascinating transformations in Hollywood. As it turned out, Jennifer gradually eased away from the limelight.
We guess she is devoting more quality time to her family which consists of her husband, Brian Hallisay, and their two lovely kids. Given her incredible net worth, it’s safe to say that the family won’t ever face bankruptcy even if Jennifer announces her retirement today. However, we will sorely miss the brunette beauty.
Matthew Lewis – Actor
Matthew Lewis’ film and television career took off when he starred as Neville Longbottom in the much-popular Harry Potter series.
After over a decade since his debut, the actor has quite a few TV and film appearances under his belt which surely has helped him add quite a lot of money to his retirement funds. With productions such as Girlfriends in the pipeline, we are almost sure that his career is poised for further growth.
Emma Watson — Women's Rights Activist
If you measure the current success of all the Harry Potter child actors, Emma Watson’s name would certainly appear right on the top. The actor’s appearance in the hit film franchise earned her more than $60 million, international fame, awards, and accolades apart.
How does the young actress use her money earned from films and television shows? Unlike many of the actors of her age, she shells out a sizeable amount every month toward women’s rights activist groups, while also putting aside some money for paying her health insurance premiums on time. Take a bow, lady!
Kylie Jenner — Reality TV Star
Being a mother at a young age was perhaps not even thought of! But to our dismay, that certainly is one of her accomplishments. Just a few months after she turned 20, she welcomed the baby girl along with her rapper boyfriend Travis Scott.
Her pregnancy was perhaps one of the most discussed topics of the decade. Pros in her life are the ratings of Kylie’s reality show that has rocketed up. No need to think how much that has added on to her overflowing bank account, but the investment is brilliant.
Josh Peck – Actor And YouTube Personality
Beyond your expectations, Josh from Nickelodeon series Drake & Josh turned out to be more popular. Not just getting transformed from a kid actor to an adult Hollywood star, Peck has made many film and TV appearances besides getting hitched to his girlfriend, Paige.
Unfortunately, his fellow actor, Drake Bell, is now fighting bankruptcy and depression, sharing a strained relationship with not only his co-star in the hit series but also someone who used to be his best friend.
Michelle Trachtenberg — Actress
She looks like a dreamboat! After rising to fame as a Nickelodeon actress from the 90s, in The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Michele has completely transformed from a kid to a charmer.
Michelle enjoys a heavenly reputation for her characterization on-screen, and has raised many eyebrows by playing the character of Dawn in Buffy: The Vampire Slayer series, to be precise. We certainly do not have any apprehensions about her credit score because that, under any circumstance, has remained unaffected. Good luck!
Dakota Fanning — Actor And Model
Both the Fanning sisters know how to be in the limelight, for sure. Elle is quite an eligible actress, whereas Dakota has proved her talent in juggling between acting and modeling. She surely has found a great way to refinance her bank balance.
With over 50 TV shows and movies in her kitty, Dakota is an improvised version of the seven-year-old girl with braces who made her debut in I Am Sam. Both Dakota and her bank balance have grown manifold in these years, for sure!
Blake McIver — Actor And Pianist
Blake has proved himself to be multifaceted time and again. From starring in Full House in the 80s to lending his voice to Eugene in Hey Arnold! and co-writing the theme song for “End of the Spear”, Mciver is talent personified.
Of late, he has grabbed an Ovation award for Little Boy. And if we have to go by his hosting for Afterbuzz TV and the charisma he exudes, we guess, none of his contemporaries have that colossal bank balance that Blake has. We certainly don’t want his retirement.
Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson–TV Star
It has been approximately a decade after TLC’s Toddlers and Tiaras, but the reality star Alana Thompson has managed to hold on to the spotlight amidst a little bit of controversy.
Her earnings were on the decline after her reality show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo in 2014, and the critics were of the opinion that Alana might face bankruptcy. But now in 2018, she has perhaps gained control of her life in between many controversial issues surrounding her personal life.
Jerry O'Connell — Actor
Jerry O’Connell made his mark as Quinn Mallory in Sliders, and his portfolio seems to be quite phenomenal. Post that, Stand by Me, Jerry Maguire, and Scream 2 made Jerry one of the most potent and generative actors in the 90s decade.
Of late, starting from 2015, he was a part of the Justice League saga till 2017 and even showed up in one episode of The Big Bang Theory. Presently, Jerry is wedded to Rebecca Romijn, and the lovebirds have been together since 2007. Oh! We forgot to mention that Jerry is also the recipient of two Teen Choice Awards, and he truly is going great guns!
Melissa Gilbert – Actor
Many of us can recall Laura Ingalls Wilder from the legendary NBC show Little House on the Prairie. Melissa Gilbert also starred in many TV films such as Anne Frank. But she has already screwed up in her personal life as she had gotten herself addicted to drugs.
In fact, spent her life in alcohol and drugs rehab to release herself from the hang-up. We pray that she does her health insurance soon and doesn’t have to take the help of a bankruptcy attorney.
Drew Barrymore – Actress
Drew has always been a sweetheart to millions of fans. But the E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial star was addicted to other things besides acting. A sound bank account and a hefty bank balance gave a comfortable room to addictions.
Much was heard about her treatments in drug rehabs, and many rumors made the rounds, but thankfully, Drew Barrymore was able to revive herself. We really hope that she doesn’t fall back into a web of addictions anymore and has a health insurance done soon enough.
Anna Chlumsky – Actress
The cute and beautiful Vada Sultenfuss from My Girl and My Girl 2 has made a long journey and has raised many eyebrows when she disappeared from the Hollywood scene in 1998. But Anna Chlumsky re-arrived after nine long years.
Slowly and steadily, Anna is again grabbing eyeballs. She is now a wife and has mothered two kids, and she is managing her career at the same time. Quite a feat! We are sure that Anna has her health insurance done, too, providing the stress she is taking.
Elijah Wood — Actor
Elijah was hailed by the critics as the most talented and versatile actor in his age category, perhaps in the whole of Hollywood history. He started out as a child sensation, and later on grew into a globally acclaimed superstar. The Lord of the Rings trilogy threw Elijah from his boyhood on to the big league, and Frodo Baggins became a household name.
Nearly two decades later, The Lord of the Rings is still culturally relevant, but Frodo Baggins seems to have disappeared from the limelight. His accusations against tinsel town and the hangover of being Frodo might have taken a toll on him. He obviously dilly-dallied in a few other productions and started his own music label as well, but we think that won’t be enough for him to float around in Hollywood. As fans, we want to see more of him in the circuit.
Danica McKellar – Actor And Writer
Juggling between her Hollywood career and her involvement in various educational activities, Danica has proven beyond doubt that she is not just a pretty face and a Hollywood sweetheart for 15 years and more since her first appearance on the silver screen; she is much more than that.
The transition phase from a kid to an adult actress has definitely been tiresome, but concentrating on writing mathematics books has always been a pleasure for 43-year-old Danica. At this juncture, we are sure retirement is not even on her mind now.
Tatyana Ali – Actress And Singer
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star Tatyana who played Ashley Banks has come a long way since her Bel-Air days, but retirement is something which hasn’t ever crossed her mind, let alone bankruptcy.
Banks has appeared in more than 50 films and TV shows and had she not taken up the responsibilities of a wife and a mother, she would have been a leading superstar in Hollywood. She and her husband Vaughn Rasberry are maintaining the financial investments of her family, we guess. The sky is the limit for Blake!
Jake Lloyd — Retired
If you are an ardent Star Wars fan, Anakin Skywalker will be etched in your minds forever. Making his presence felt with Jingle All The Way, Jake made a breakthrough in The Phantom Menace. He climbed the ladder of fame rapidly and achieved expeditious international acclamation.
It is unfortunate that now Llyod is raging a war against schizophrenia, and his chances of reviving his acting career are bleak. Dropping out of school, having been arrested for a traffic rule violation, and purportedly assailing his mother, he is destined for a psychiatric facility and that will spell doom for the actor, we fear. Get well soon, Jake.
Soleil Moon Frye — Actress
Soleil started her career as a child artist who gained much popularity from the TV show Punky Brewster. At the age of seven, she stood in front of the camera to shoot for the sitcom. As a very successful businesswoman, she is quite adept at wealth management, applying her entrepreneurship skills to her great advantage.
She had opened up an online boutique for children, and at present, runs that successfully. Her colossal bank account and the fame that she derived from the TV show are the main factors that have helped her with the finance she required to run her business. Wish her all the best!
Corey Feldman – Actor and Musician
Who could even think that the small kid, who started his career at a tender age of three, would eventually grow up and become such a successful musician and actor? He sought liberation from his parents, maybe on some earning feud, with the help of his attorney.
Needless to say, though his personal issues went from bad to worse, his personal career mushroomed, and Corey is reaping the dividends from all the popularity and the fame that he has achieved over these years.
Bonnie Wright – Actor and Filmmaker
The British actress is a popular face as she portrayed the character of Ginny Weasley, the love interest of Harry Potter. She is hungry for knowledge and success and has received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from the London College of Communication.
Surprisingly, she completed her college and continued filming for the Harry Potter series simultaneously.
We are quite sure of the fact that she didn’t require a student or an education loan back then, and now that she is an adult, she is concentrating on her financial strategies to increase her credit score.
Zendaya – Actress And Singer
Zendaya was first inclined towards modeling, but after playing Rocky Blue in Shake It Up, the 21-year-old girl is now sure to aim for the sky. She believes in working round the clock as she is juggling her acting and musical career.
What's even more impressive is the fact that she has also authored and published a book at the meager age of 17. Wow!
Add to that, an appointment as the ambassador for the charity organization, Convoy of Hope. She doesn’t need to worry an inch about her bank account because she has plenty stacked in it.
Jodie Sweetin – Actress And Dancer
Jodie Sweetin a.k.a Stephanie Tanner from Full House is famous for her visits to drug rehab centers.
Her decline began with the ending of the 90s sitcom but held herself up even after the addiction that took 15 precious years of her life.
She has revived herself, and she is back with a reiterated Stephanie Tanner in the sequel Fuller House. Now that she is clean from within, we are sure she will have health insurance in place.
Anthony Michael Hall — Actor
His career as a kid took off with some commercials, a la many child stars, and Hall grabbed his first acting assignment pretty soon. His quantum leap came through the film National Lampoon Vacation.
But it had been The Breakfast Club that resulted in his overnight success and made him a dream boy for all teenage girls.
He had to leave the arena mid-way since alcohol addiction got the better of him, but he made a stunning comeback by starring in The Dead Zone and The Dark Knight. At 50 now, Anthony is still mesmerizing us with his performances and seems to be in full flow. We are happy that he has put his past on the backburner and marching ahead.
Alison Arngrim - Retired Actress and Author
Alison Arngrim had no trouble getting accustomed to fame as she followed in the footsteps of her family who was well-versed in the world of show business. Arngrim gained notoriety and huge fame at just 12 years old for her iconic role as Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie.
Some would even call her television's first mean girl as her character was a mean-spirited, spoiled, and bratty child, which Arngrim played perfectly! Following her life of fame, she later published a book Confessions of a Prairie B***h: How I Survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated.
In 2002, she earned herself a Former Child Star Lifetime Achievement Award.
Karen Dotrice - Retired Actress
We can all remember the adorable Jane Banks in Disney's production of Mary Poppins in 1964. Well, Karen, who played Jane, remembers being cast for the role at only 8 years old which is also the point in time that her career really took off and was soaring.
It's been nearly 50 years since Mary Poppins was released and Karen has often reflected back to her moments on set, "the joy you see on screen is the joy we felt." She also made a comment on how it was often hard for her 8-year-old self to stay in character when the legendary Dick Van Dyke would do one of his "goofy dances".
We don't blame her! But we know one thing for certain, little Miss. Jane Banks will forever live in our hearts and memories!
Henry Thomas – Actor
This picture of Henry Thomas from his childhood is an instant giveaway! He is in his iconic red hoodie from the biggest Blockbuster favorite, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. E.T. definitely brought Henry Thomas into the spotlight at a young age and turned him into a household name, and quite frankly, an icon of his time!
Unlike his fellow child star peers, however, Thomas stayed away from controversies and even finished his college degree and continued on with his acting career afterward.
Thomas has recently gone viral and made headlines for playing the younger father figure on Netflix's incredible new series The Haunting of Hill House - another must-see starring Henry Thomas!
Lisa & Louise Burns – Retired
It has been 38 years since the Stanley Kubrick film, The Shining, was released starring the legendary, Jack Nicholson. And it has been 38 years since the iconic Grady twins from the movie forever haunted our dreams! Without Lisa & Louise Burns playing this role, we are positive the movie wouldn't have had the same effect it had when audiences originally saw the horror flick. They made history with this movie and are now happily enjoying life in retirement.
Jonathan Lipnicki - Actor
No one, and we mean, no one would have ever expected that Jonathan would grow up to be such a handsome lad.
Though he bowled us over with his adorable charm as a child artist, he is making women go weak in the knees with his boyish looks these days. We agree that it’s not an easy job to attain success as an adult after seeing so much fanfare as a child.
The 27-year-old former Stuart Little star now has an impressive net worth of $5 million in his banks and is all geared up for his next project.
