A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I think those three really count as adult stars just yet.
Why not?
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.
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.

This movie called City by the Sea or something, if I recall.
This is all stuff from before she was 20 (she was born in 1980):
Switch (1999/II) .... Nina Lector ... aka Last Nine Months, The (1999)
Race the Sun (1996) .... Cindy Johnson
Journey (1995) (TV) .... Cat
Bye Bye, Love (1995) .... Emma Carlson
Fishing with George (1994)
True Lies (1994) .... Dana Tasker
This Boy's Life (1993) .... Pearl
That Night (1992) .... Alice Bloom
All of season 3 Buffy was before she was 20.
(Does SMG count? How about Seth Green?)
I think Seth Green was in a movie with Alysson Hannigan when both were pretty young, My Step-Mother is a Space Alien or something like that. He looked about 14. No idea what his real age was.
The conversation started with, "Lots of child actors seem to make good transitions into adult actors nowadays. How about those child actors from 20 years ago?" or some such. Elijah Wood and ED et al. would still fall into 'nowadays' category, I think.
