 Raven-Symoné is as chipper as her alter-ego, the wacky, offbeat teen on Disney's hit show "That's So Raven," even though she's conducting a telephone interview in the middle of her daily exercise workout.
"I'm walking," she pants, between breathless giggles, "and people around me are making me laugh."
Raven was just a baby when the Ford Modeling Agency signed her to a contract. And who can forget her portrayal of chubby-cheeked Huxtable granddaughter Olivia Kendall on "The Cosby Show." Now 22, she's managed to navigate the fickle tides of Hollywood while building a solid fan base by spreading her message of self-esteem, body acceptance and empowerment to young women in Every City, USA.
Keeping her act clean has paid off for the blossoming media mogul. The Raven brand is valued at $400 million, since "That's So Raven" ruled the Disney Channel for four seasons (the network still airs the reruns) and spawned merchandise deals for everything from perfumes and clothing. Earlier this year, Raven played bubbly high school senior Melanie Porter in "College Road Trip" with Martin Lawrence and executive-produced the flick. And last August, she took a page from the Martha Stewart playbook when she decided to launch ravensymonepresents.com, her interactive 'tween-friendly lifestyle Web site with videos and do-it-yourself crafting tips.
