10 Celebrities Who Became Stars Before They Were 18

Many celebrities in Hollywood today started their careers well before they hit adulthood. Some stars had their moment in the spotlight when they were young but fizzled out after a short time. Others have experienced continued success even as they moved on from their breakthrough roles.

Her breakthrough role came at age 7 when she starred opposite Sean Penn in I Am Sam. She became the youngest person ever to be nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for her role.

Taylor Momsen
