Where Are They Now - Friday, April 29, 2016

Hello fans,

I was watching 'Mrs. Doubtfire' for the first time in
a long time and I noticed something, or should I say
"someone". The young lady that played the eldest daughter looked familiar to me. Then it hit me... she's in
'Independence Day' and Joe Dante's 'Matinee'. Then I asked myself, "What's she doing these days?"

Thankfully, I was able to answer my own question with today's edition of 'Where Are They Now'.

Take care,
Steve
