Alisan Porter

I'll always think of Alisan Porter first as Curly Sue, that 1991 breakout opposite Jim Belushi that earned her a Young Artist Award. What I admire is that she didn't vanish the way so many child stars do. She grew into a real singer and songwriter, eventually winning a season of The Voice as an adult, which feels like a rare second act done on her own merit. Her story reads to me as proof that early fame doesn't have to be the ceiling. She kept the audience she charmed as a kid, then re-earned it with a grown-up voice years later.
