Kerry Washington

Ahead of the release of her memoir Thicker than Water, Kerry Washington shared a look at "Little Kerry," whom she said was "So precious, right?! And also, so strong. Stronger than she knew at the time."

Kristen Bell

Actress Kristen Bell credited her "disastrous" haircut as a kid for her ability to "never take flack from anybody."

Jessie James Decker

Dwayne Johnson

Before he was The Rock - international superstar and tequila magnate - he was just a cute 7-year-old in Hawaii with a gap in his teeth.

"No way this stud doesn't grow up to become Sexiest Man Alive," the actor joked on Instagram.

Kat Dennings

The actress looked awfully cute as a Brownie, but her time in the Scouts was short-lived: "I got kicked out of Girl Scouts for writing, choreographing and starring in a skit called 'Lexie Monroe, Detective' that was deemed inappropriate for Earth Day," she wrote on Instagram.

Emma Stone

Even as a braces-sporting sixth-grader in Arizona in 2000, the actress had a twinkle in her eye. It might have been that she had already found her life's passion: Stone began acting in a community theater when she was 11.

Kelly Clarkson

A young Clarkson brought her accessories A-game to her sixth-grade picture session in 1994, but she would soon clear the scrunchies out of her closet to make room for a recording studio. By the time she was 10 or 11 years old, she told Reader's Digest, she had written her first song.

Jamie Foxx

Before he adopted the name Jamie Foxx, he was Eric Bishop. And as a sixth-grader in 1980, young Eric had already been playing the piano – which would come in handy for his Oscar-winning performance as Ray Charles – for a decade.

Reese Witherspoon

By the time she was in sixth grade in 1988, Witherspoon had made it to the top of the local heap – and not just as a cheerleader. By this point, she was modeling and acting in commercials and had won the Ten-State Talent Fair at age 11.

Keith Urban

The country star started on the guitar at age 6 and had such a knack for playing the instrument that he was winning talent competitions while he was in elementary school in the 1970s. By the time he was 15, Urban dropped out of school to pursue a music career.Ka

Marissa Janet Winkour

"I matched every outfit with colorful yarn in my hair," the Retired at 35 star says of her style choices in 1978, when she was in kindergarten.
