Mickey Rooney was a child once? Duuuude.
Diane Lane and Anthony Michael Hall come to mind from my age bracket, although they were more teenager-to-adult than child-adult transitions.
ETA: I take it back about Mickey Rooney. I was thinking of Mickey Rourke, who's an entirely different kettle of fish.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse
are former child actors much more likely to be successful adult actors now than, say, 20 years ago?
How about Leonardo DiCaprio? I'm not a fan, but he's come a long way from that sitcom the name of which is escaping me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think those three really count as adult stars just yet.

I mean -- they may not be stars but they are playing adult characters now.
I mean -- does Alyson Hannigan count?

Guess it depends on your definition of adult. Most of the earlier examples that started this conversation were people over thirty, at least.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I would definitely say Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst.
Other than True Lies, what was Eliza Dushku in as a kid? I don't know much about her career.
