That reminds me of another ABC TGIF star that got hot…Danielle Fishel. She actually got hot during the show’s run, since it followed them all through high school and then college. She put on some weight right after the show ended, but still looked good, but then she lost the weight and now looks fan-fucking-tastic.
Going back many decades, Sherry Jackson was a rather plain tomboyish young girl with co-starring with John Wayne in Trouble Along the Way and then as Danny Thomas’s daughter in “The Danny Thomas Girl.”
Evidence:
And then she grew up:
(Eventually doing a Playboy pictorial in 1967 or so.)
Sarah Polley starred as a child in movies like The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Then a few years later she appeared as an adult in movies like Go, Dawn of the Dead and Splice.
The correct answer for this thread seems to be “all of them”.
I always had a crush on Staci Keanan, who is about the same age as me. She was the daughter in My Two Dads and then the oldest daughter in Step By Step. She was always cute, but now she’s really hot.
michele trachenburg was harriet the spy AND a hottie in Eurotrip. count it.
Lisa Loring (Wednesday Addams) http://threshold.vox.com/library/post/from-wednesday-addams-to-cricket-montgomery-lisa-loring.html (Bonus: the LOTR graphic from the Ballantine paperbacks at the top of the page)
Mila Kunis was in Disney’s Honey We Shrunk Ourselves which puts her into former child actress territory for me
I can think of a lot of child actresses that have already gone from hot to not so hot.
Erin Moran (Happy Days)
Valerie Bertinelli (One day at a time)
Jennifer Love Hewitt (The Byrds of Paradise)
Marie Osmond
Janet Jackson (Good Times)
If fairness, I don’t detailed track of actresses weight, so some of them might have worked back into hotness by now.
plus i think she was ~ 14 when 70’s show started… which rounds down into kids territory for me
Scarlett Pomers (aforementioned Naomi Wildman) later was cast in *Reba *as the second child. She grew up pretty hot on the show as a teen, but I understand she developed some kind of eating disorder to remain thin. I think she got better though.
I know nothing about skin care and beauty products and aging. Are her freckles now covered with make-up or were they painted on as Punky Brewster or were they surgically removed or did the “go away” with age or what?
And from the A Series of Unfortunate Events movie. Even at 16 in 2004, she was shockingly beautiful in that.
Wait till you see the promos for Sucker Punch, from Zack Snyder, the director of 300 and Watchmen. Oy.
It has Jenna Malone, Browning, and freakin’ Vanessa Hudgens from Disney.
…lord I feel old.
Candace Cameron Bure
Sarah Michelle Gellar started acting at the age of four. I think she qualifies.
how about Nicole Eggert aka Jamie Powell from the beloved Charles In Charge?
