21 Child Celebrities Then and Now
by Tattle Taylor at . Updated at .While some child stars never make it in Hollywood past their 18th birthday, flunking out of the limelight like normal people their age flunk chemistry, a few of them manage to make the transition. Here are 21 child celebrities then and now!
1. Amanda Bynes
Amanda Bynes was a delightful child star with a bright career whose hard-partying ways and obvious mental issues have made for many sad headlines in recent years.
2. Anna Paquin
Anna Paquin won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in The Piano. She went on to play Rogue and Sookie Stackhouse. Not too bad.
3. Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan had a bright, bright future when she hit the scene. And then her star went completely out and now she can't even keep a reality show afloat.
4. Britney Spears
Britney Spears got her start as a Mousketeer (like a few more faces we'll see in this gallery). Now she's a headliner in Las Vegas.
5. Christina Aguilera
Teen singing rival to Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera was also a Mouseketeer. She managed to keep her nose clean while growing up and landed a job on The Voice.
6. Christina Ricci
Famous for playing Wednesday Addams, Christina Ricci was a rising star in the 90s. She's kept an air of mystery through the years.
