E! Online just put out a list of child stars who ended up being successful while maintaining a good image along the way. Check out the list below:

Ryan Gosling
The heartthrob actor got his big break at age 12 on The All-New Mickey Mouse Club. Since then, he's been wooing us onscreen in romantic tear jerkers like The Notebook and heartfelt rom-coms like Crazy, Stupid, Love.
Christina Aguilera
As another former castmember of The Mickey Mouse Club, the award-winning singer is still making hits and was most recently seen as a judge on NBC's The Voice.

The singer turned actor got his start on The Mickey Mouse Club and later with boy band 'N Sync. Since then, he's had tremendous success in both his music and acting career, with musical hits such as "Suit & Tie" and big-screen successes like The Social Network.
Jodie Foster
The actress started her career before age 7 and was nominated for her first Academy Award at age 14. Since then, she's graduated from Yale, won two Oscars, and had two kids. No biggie.

The actor, director, writer and producer even attended the prestigious Columbia University.
Jennifer Connelly
This Yale and Stanford attendee got her career started in modeling and television commercials.
Raven Symone
