Miley Cyrus, 2009
It's a bummer to have to think about aging gracefully when you're just 16 years old. But when you've lived so glaringly in the spotlight since the age of 12, as "Hannah Montana" star Miley Cyrus has, and you're hoping to have a long career in the business, you've got to plan ahead. The path is riddled with the career carcasses of child stars gone wrong... like Lindsay Lohan. But it doesn't always have to be a tragic tale; that light down the road is the sun glistening off Jodie Foster's two Oscars.
For Miley and other Disney-backed stars, such as Zac Efron, Selena Gomez, and Demi Lovato (as well as Nickelodeon's up-and-coming teen starlet Miranda Cosgrove), there are lessons to be learned from those who've come before. Read on to see both the inspirational - and the cautionary - tales of Disney's TV and movie kid stars, then and now.

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...ddfstop said "Children always suffer when their adults start acting like "children!" Tax Evation?? That woman is a fine role model for her daughter ... not! She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"

Hayley was my favorite Disney Kid! I think She should still be doing Movies and I would love to see her in a Family Adventure type thing.

Ike Eisenmann was my favorite Disney kid actor. The Escape movies are my all time favorite movies. I watched Ike in the Fantastic Journey TV and other ABC after school specials. Way to go Ike on the new Escape movie!
