She hasn’t quite made adult-level yet, but Dakota Fanning is definitely on her way.
Anna Paquin- for sure!
Winona Ryder
Shannon Doherty
Alyson Hannigan
Speaking of Panic Room, remember the kid in that movie? I spent half the film trying to figure out if it was a boy or a girl. It turns out that kid was Kristin Stewart. She was famous as an adult for a while before I heard that she was that girl, and was able to recognize that.
Seriously, she could’ve passed as a long-haired boy.
Emily Browning, the little girl from Ghostship.

I’m gonna go with Al from Step by Step - Christine Lakin
Lacey Chabert (Party of Five’s Claudia)
Eliza Dushku for the win, definitely. She’s a total girlie crush for me.
For soap fans, I give you Kristen Alderson. Kristen Alderson - IMDb
I watched her grow up on One Life To Live. She was a funny looking kid but she grew into a lovely young lady.
Emma Watson (Hermione from the Harry Potter movies) is 20 years old and growing up very nicely.
Keshia Knight Pulliam aka Rudy (the youngest) Huxtable on The Cosby Show
Erika Eleniak
Scarlett Johansson was only ten years old for her first movie. Surely she’s now near the top of the hottie list.
Did she keep her Celebrity Fit Club weight off?
Was she a child actress?
Tatyana Ali played the youngest child, Ashley, in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Totally forgot about her. She’s recurring on Y&R and she’s absolutely beautiful.
I know she lied about her age to get on that 70s show (she was actually only 14 at the time), but I think she had done a few things before (Walker Texas Ranger, Baywatch, etc) so possibly.
But now… just wow. Major smokeshow.
Reese Witherspoon was 15 or 16 when she started.
She played a kid in Man in the Moon, and a few other early films.
