One of the actresses who I think has done an incredible job at sticking in the Hollywood game after a childhood success story is Anna Paquin.
Anna Paquin became the second youngest person to win an Oscar at the age of 11 for her role in the Piano.

She has done a variety of films, television and feature, that would be considered prestige films, such as Almost Famous, The Squid and the Whale and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.
Yet, while these films, among others certainly are respectable,

By playing teen roles, I think she took herself from the world of "young Oscar winner" to "teen star" paving the way for her to edge her way into non-teen roles that are still age appropriate, including her most recent turn in the popular role of Sookie Stackhouse in True Blood, for which she has won the Golden Globe and Satellite Award.

Now if only, Haley Joel Osment could land himself a role on 90210 or a teen oriented film he might be able to bring some luster back to his career that really kicked off in full swing with his Oscar nominated role in The Sixth Sense.

Apparently she gives an Awards caliber performance in 'Margaret' which has been constantly delayed. At this point one wonders if it will ever be released.
She has managed to forge herself a strong career, and could continue on ala Jodie Foster.
