Katrina Sholeen always knew she wanted to pursue art. It came natural to

made my choice in high school because I took art classes every chance I
got.”  She is majoring in Studio Art because she enjoys the laid back
atmosphere it has and it is more hands on and less about being in a
classroom.  She explained, “It is the only thing I was good at besides sports, and
I never intended to be a professional athlete.” READ MORE

However, there are some Disney products (like Britney, Christina, and Justin) that are able to get close to or completely remove their former company’s image.
 
Here is a list of some Disney stars that actually have a good chance of running from the shadow of doom:
