When we take a look at our old photo albums that have been hidden for years, dusty but full of special memories, we are struck by feelings of nostalgia, love, and what if … Some of our favorite Hollywood stars are so close to our hearts that we cannot imagine as children, well, look no further.

We researched and found rare photos of some of Hollywood’s most iconic celebrities as kids and teens, and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
