10 Child Stars That Actually Made It Through Okay

5. Helen Hunt

Break-Out Role: The Swiss Family Robinson Hunt is generally regarded as a highly talented and mature actress, but few seem to know that she's been in showbiz since 1973. Considering she was born in 1963, that means she's been a starlet for the majority of her time on this Earth. After being cast in a main role in the short-lived 1975 series The Swiss Family Robinson, Hunt received a large amount of TV and film work before her role in the sitcom Mad About You transitioned her into a fully-fledged adult star in the 90s. Hunt has won 4 Emmys, 4 Golden Globes, 2 SAGs and an Oscar - not a bad haul, aye? It seems people have more or less forgotten her younger fame, which was probably something of an advantage in the pre-Internet age.
