8. Raven Symone
The former child star took a break from her career to focus on health and burn 70 pounds on the elliptical. She credits small, frequent meals as a key part of her success. Raven-Symoné Christina Pearman was born in Atlanta, Georgia and she started her career in modeling when she was really, really young. As an infant, she worked for Atlanta’s Young Faces Inc. Modeling Agency and was featured in local print advertisements.
At age two, she worked with Ford Models in New York City and appeared in ads for Ritz crackers, Jell-O, Fisher-Price, and Cool Whip. In 1989, Raven-Symoné auditioned for a part in the Bill Cosby movie, Ghost Dad, but was too young for it. Instead, Cosby offered her a part on his television series The Cosby Show, as his step-granddaughter Olivia.
She made her debut in the premiere episode of the show’s sixth season, and remained until the series finale in 1992. From 2003 to 2007, she starred in the Disney Channel series,That’s So Raven in which she played Raven Baxter, a psychic teenager who tried her best to keep her psychic powers a secret. During her time on That’s So Raven, she released her third album, This is My Time (2004) which was her bestselling solo album to date, charting at number 51 on the Billboard 200.
