Stars including Neil Patrick Harris and Jodie Foster are on Entertainment Weekly's list of 13 Child Stars Who Made It.

The magazine claims Harris showed promise when he starred with Whoopi Goldberg in the 1988 film Clara's Heart. His starring turn in the '90s comedy series Doogie Howser, M.D., in which he played a teenage doctor, cemented his professionalism. He's since become a fixture on Broadway, television, film, and awards shows.

Foster, meanwhile, parlayed a shocking turn as a 13-year-old prostitute in Taxi Driver into an illustrious career that includes two Oscars -- for her roles in The Accused and The Silence of the Lambs.

Other stars include Natalie Portman and Ron Howard.
