Our generation has grown up with the television. Movies, Sitcoms, Games Shows raised us just as much as our parents did. We learned from our movie heroes that we could find treasure in a pirate ship with the help of a guy named Sloth, and we discovered how bad real cars sucked because they didn’t transform into giant robots. But most importantly, we met girls for the first time with the help of a television. And now, much like the girl from next door you didn’t hook up with when you had the chance, they’ve grown up into total hotties.
The idea behind the following pictorial is not to state the obvious. The girls on this list were nerdy, silly, goofy, regular kids that overcame all those adjectives and blossomed into hotness. Whereas some girls had it from the get go. Namely, Kelly from Saved By The Bell. She was hot then, and she’s hot now. Of course, we’ll still include pictures for completeness.

Tiffani-Amber Theissan – Gorgeous then and even more so now.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hayden Panettiere – A pretty obvious choice for hottie now, the star of Heroes is a major babe. But, did you know Hayden began her career as Sheryl from Remember the Titans?

Lindsay Lohan – We’ll probably get ridiculed and have rocks thrown at us for including her, but you have to admit, she’s not all that bad to look at. Especially considering the leaps and bounds she took from childhood like back when she was in Parent Trap.

Marguerite Moreau – We wouldn’t expect anyone to remember Connie from The Mighty Ducks, why would you? She was mean and played sports better than you. Most recently showing up in Queen of the Damned it’s nice to see her back.

Shawna Waldron – Currently into directing and some acting gigs including a 2 year stint as a cast member of Ladies Man, Icebox from The Little Giants is now a lovely babe. Thanks for growing up!

Anna Chlumsky – Along with Macaulay Culkin, Anna made us all afraid of bees when she played Vada from My Girl. Her career has recently began to pick up with several new movies in the works, this probably correlates directly with the recent hotness she’s achieved.

Ariana Richards – You probably know her better as the sister in the original Jurassic Park film, but we’ll always remember the adorable girl in the girl who wanted to dress up as an alien from Spaced Invaders. Now, Ariana and her cuteness spends time doing art.

Michelle Trachtenberg – Without a doubt in our minds, this is the biggest transformation on the list. Did anyone ever think that that goofy girl from Harriet the Spy would develop into the smokin’ hot chick on Euro Trip?
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Candice Cameron – While on the show Full House we watched her grow from a dorky little kid into an attractive woman. But, it wasn’t until she got out from under the shadow that Becky’s “milfness” put off, that we got to see how majorly beautiful Candice is.

Soleil Moon Frye – Punky Brewster was never one of my favorite shows, but there’s no doubt that little Punky was a cute kid. Now, there’s no doubt that she’s a super good looking woman who’s been a part of the hit shows Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Proud Family.

Tatyana Ali – Ashley from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air never really stole the show when surrounded by attention grabbers like Carlton and Will. But oh man, she’s the foxy lady grabbing attention now… movies, soap operas (The Young and the Restless), and even a singing career have been a part of Tatyana’s career.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Danica McKeller – She put the “Wonder” in Wonder Years; as in, we wondered if we’d ever meet a girl like her. Sure, she was nerdy, but that was cool. Couple nerdy with drop dead gorgeous and well, that’s Danica now. She’s still into entertainment making appearances on NYPD Blue and The West Wing, but her new claim to fame is teaching kids that math doesn’t suck in her new book “Math Doesn’t Suck”.

Tina Majorino – We won’t count points off if you don’t recognize the little starlet of Andre right away. Tina played alongside a great big seal in the movie and hilarious adventures ensued. She’s probably better known for her role as Deb in Napoleon Dynamite or Mac on Veronica Mars, how they hid sucha cute girl under all that weird movie, we’ll never know.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Amanda Bynes – All That was the kid version of Saturday Night Live back in the day. You had Keenan and Kel doing the “Good Burger” skits, and, um… Amanda Bynes prepping herself for a life of hotness. She’s made quite a name for herself starring in The Amanda Show and most recently the movie Hairspray.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Zena Gray – Zena wouldn’t have made our list except for two reasons. #1 Max Keeble’s Big Move, a movie she starred in, was just on the other day. #2 She’s hot. Other places you might have seen Zena; the movie The Shaggy Dog and Law and Order.
