Chaz Bono
Chaz Bono, born Chastity Bono, was only famous because of his parents, Sonny and Cher, and their television show, “The Sonny and Cher Show.” Chaz was assigned female at birth but began to transition to male in 2008, after years of identifying as a lesbian publicly. He is an active LGBTQ activist and even made a documentary film titled “Becoming Chaz,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
He’s also made an appearance on the popular TV reality show “Dancing With the Stars,” notable for being the first time a transgender man has appeared on a network television program without anything to do with his gender identity.
Lisa Whelchel
Lisa Whelchel began her career as a child star on "The Facts of Life" and continued acting on and off, including the 2013 movie "A Madea Christmas." Lisa is very active in her Christian faith and spends most of her time speaking at various churches and Christian conferences. She's also written several best-selling books on a number of topics, including homeschooling and parenting.
However, at one point, she revealed she uses hot sauce as a discipline for her children, which landed her in hot water. It honestly doesn't even seem like a punishment to me.
Peter Ostrum
You'll know Ostrum for only one role: Charlie, from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," starring alongside Gene Wilder. Peter could have gone anywhere, but he instead decided to give up acting and stayed away from the spotlight, though beginning in 1990, Peter began speaking at the local elementary school about his famous role.
Ostrum would eventually start a veterinary practice in New York and start a family. When the Chocolate Factory story was remade in 2005, Peter had to eventually request no more interviews, as his private life was quickly becoming too public for his taste.
Diane Lane
Actress Diane Lane got her start at the age of fourteen in a film called "A Little Romance." She continued acting and continued to accumulate success when she reached adulthood. Some of her well-known roles include acting in "Under the Tuscan Sun" and "Unfaithful."
Diane was once married to actor Josh Brolin, but the two have already divorced. The couple made headlines at one point when it was suspected Josh had attacked her, and the police came to the couple's home. However, Diane has stated it was a misunderstanding, and there was no abuse.
Janet Jackson
Just as in Marie Osmond's case, the Jackson daughter was never part of her brothers' singing group. Don't count Janet out, though, because she's achieved her own dose of stardom, first appearing in her family's variety show, "The Jacksons," in 1976. She's had a number of notable TV roles, including on "Good Times" and "Diff'rent Strokes," and achieved much more as an adult, including a number of multi-platinum albums and a super bowl half-time show you may remember.
In 2012 she married a Qatari business magnate and gave birth to their first child, a son named Eissa, in January of 2017.
