Celebrity Shortlist: Top 3 Female Former Child Stars Who Won An Oscar

It takes a lot of hard work to take home an Academy Award, so it makes sense that the sooner you start, the better. Here are our top three female former child stars who won an Oscar at #3. It's Regina King. Regina was just 14 when she was cast on the hit sitcom 227 back in the 1980s. She says working on the show was better than any acting school, and it clearly paid off when she was crowned best supporting actress for a Beale Street Could talk. Thank you, everybody. On the 2nd place we find Brie Larson. Bree knew she wanted to be a star from a young age, so her mom moved them to Hollywood and Larson started working from the age of 9. Going on to win an Oscar in 2016 with the Movie Room. And our top spot goes to Jodie Foster, a child model from the age of three. Jodie was acting by 6 and 1st nominated by the Academy at 14 for her role in Taxi Driver before going on to win two Oscars with The Accused and The Silence of the Lambs.
