Good for her, I respect anyone that has high standards for themselves and actually sticks to them when put in a position of choice. I haven't seen her in anything since "Step by Step" but I wish her well, in whatever she does.2000

Pretentious garbage. Lots of Catholics do movies that she may object to. Nowhere does it say in the Bible "thou shalt not do certain movies".

There is a good chance it's a combination of two things.
First, ask yourself: what is the shelf-life for a child star? Sure, there are exceptions like Seth Green who has had an amazing career. But, what about female leads? When was the last time Patty Duke FRONTED a movie NOT on Lifetime. Reality is TV is so different from when many people posting on these boards were young. Younger people likely have no idea what a TV 'movie of the week' is. These days, it's a phrase reserved for basic cable channels and I can't tell you the last time one was 'good' or network worthy.
I'm saying this because most TV actors (especially child stars) later grow into type casting and don't find roles in many major movies. TV was a medium they could operate on a decade ago, but no more. Sure there are exceptions, so I don't care to hear some smart @ss answer about some child star who has bucked the norm. Not what I'm saying. The point is females in Hollywood tend to fizzle in their late 20s as a general rule (again, there are exceptions), a child star makes it worse, and the reduction of TV movies reduced the role for a, basically, lifetime TV actress.
When you add in the fact that a persons religion MAY play a factor in it: I see how the OP can be right. The few roles that may come an actresses way may not be worth the paycheck IF that person has a college degree (which is a check in this case) AND if a persons parent(s) marketed the money made off earlier ventures right.
No doubts we're dealing with a smart and educated person here (UCLA is a difficult school to get into, quite difficult, in fact) and if money isn't a factor, there is no reason she CAN'T be selective. Again, not everybody is like Gary Colemanthey don't need to take jobs to avoid jail or high debt.they can live a comfortable life since somebody watched out for them when they were young. If the right role doesn't come along, a person doesn't have to take it. It's a rare thing, but no doubt, some have been placed in a good position to live well and work when they want to. Child stardom is NOT always a horror story, IMHO. -

Staci said:"she was a practicing cathlic and there are roles she has been offered in both movies and tv that she turned down that she found objectable to her faith"
Translation:"She doesn't want to get nekkid. She made a pile of money in Step by Step and if she keeps rolling over the CD's and adding to her IRA, no need to whip her chest puppies out." -

Practicing Catholic?
So explain the latest film she did "Death and Cremation"
Nothing objectionable in a film about a guy murdering those he feels are social bullies?
Face itwhile she may be beautiful, she isn't wanted by Hollywood anymore.
And don't get me wrong. I blame Hollywood.
