Where Are They Now - Friday, August 18, 2017

Hello fans,

With the new Thor movie coming out this fall, Thor: Ragnarok out November 3rd, I've got Thor on the brain.

And when I think Thor I think 'Adventures in Babysitting'. Stay with me. Remember Sara (Maia Brewton) from the 1987 hit movie. She was a huge fan of Thor and she had the helmet and hammer. It's the first time I remember seeing a mainstream movie acknowledge Marvel Comics.

Thor aside, I wonder what child-actress Maia Brewton has been doing all these years later. Let's see...

Take care,
Steve
