What Happened? Celebrities Who Should Have Had Bigger Careers

- By

Jurnee Smollett

Now what happened here? Sure the likelihood of child stars making it big in adulthood is always a little low, but we really had some faith in Jurnee. She dazzled us in Eve’s Bayou and appeared in more television shows than we can count. But for some reason she was never able to really lock-in on a breakthrough role. Denzel Washington-directed The Great Debaters was a nice first step, but she never was able to really tackle those meaty adult roles. She’s still young, there’s still time, so we’ve got our fingers crossed that she can get it together and become the star we know she can be — sans Tyler Perry.
