How about she hasn’t done anything noteworthy since her young adult years or her TSR days? Is that better? For someone of Raven’s caliber, playing to the Disney channel crowd is safe and convenient. While a lot of her contemporaries were trying to burn bridges with their Disney kid personas, she chose to stay in the family doing ABC Family Channel movies and Disney cartoon voice work, and that’s fine. But most of the work that she’s done outside of TSR has been forgettable. If you don’t want to call being in her prime from 18-22, while playing a teenager on a tween network, “child stardom” that’s fine with me. Feel free to call it something else.
I’ve been trying to figure Raven out for years, and I still don’t know what to make of her. When she gives interviews, she plays herself off as being above the fray, especially when compared to the likes of Lindsay. I’ve always gotten the impression from her that she was more concerned about preserving some idealized reputation of herself rather than doing any kind of worthwhile comedy involving adult themes. Now, is that because fame/acting/ comedy isn’t her thing anymore? Is her attitude just a defensive posture because she hasn’t had many opportunities outside of TSR/Disney, and she’s just taking what she can get? Or does she really think her only options in public life are being squeaky clean or some ****ed up, boozing, coked out hellion?
