Wow! You've done your homework. Most of these people look quite scary now!
Can you say NOSE JOB, Tina Yothers? Doesn't look like original equipment.
I had a crush on Danica McKellar back then, even though I didn't watch the show, but now...WOW!
(I know you already said WOW! but I couldn't think of anything else to say that would be appropriate in the mixed company of this blog.)
It looks like there have been a few nose jobs there, annonymous.
Danielle Brisebois gets my vote for...well, everything.
Did Brian Bonsall grow up to be a vampire? Are those fangs hanging out of his mouth? The picture did seem to have been taken at night...
I love Erin Moran. I worked with her and Donnie Most on a shoot for Brawny paper towels that never saw the light of day. Don't know what happened there.
bubbasmom, if you google Brian Bonsall, you'll find a better photo where you can see that those are rings on his lips.
Ok, another word for Danica McKellar would be "Yowza!"
Yes, Danica is still hot and is very smart, having authored some masters (or phd) level math papers. that's a package!
How about two shots of Gary Coleman. I don't think he's changed a bit (aside from arrest record) since Strokes.
There's another picture of Brian Bonsall that is even more awesome. Although the juxtaposition of lip rings and polo shirt is mighty nice too.
Yeah, BB's had a wee bit o' trouble with the authorities since his TV days.. following in the footsteps of his "Diff'rent Strokes" idols, I suppose.
Danica...Wow,indeed! She has grown up very nicely.
Actually, a lot don't look too bad...one in the category of child star goes to pieces, gets into drugs, then finally achieves a bottom feeding 'media personality' career is Danny from the Partridge Family.
Looks like a red-headed prune now.
Fun list, Cary! Some of these people haven't changed much, others I wouldn't even have recognized.
I still have a thing for Erin Moran. *swoon*
To me, Justin Henry is always the brother from "Sixteen Candles."
I guess it is about a coin flip on whether you escape the Ugly Stick.
Erin Moran looks like a scary clown that would sneak into my bedroom at night and try to eat me. And I hate Blossom because people used to tell me I looked like her. Her and her damn flower hats. Hate her.
Aries.. I think Erin Moran has a "thing" too. In her pants.
winnie cooper is a PhD in Mathematics and has written many books on getting girls interested in math!
Danica McKellar. Seriously? Wow??
Oookay. Not saying she's grossly unattractive, but her jawline is quite manly. I see 10x hotter girls shopping every time I go to the grocery store.
(If you don't live near a grocery store frequented by attractive college girlies I highly recommend you move.)
Just goes to prove, Freaky looking little kid, Freaky looking adult...
and Jeremy Miller's photo (old and new) just screams " Hello! Showtunes!"
"I hate you!"
"I hate you back you little shit!"
and yet Dustin winds up with the kid in the end. Nice. :)
Day-umn...but Peter Billingsley sure grew up purty! Those eyes are just dreamy! And to think he was just nerdy Ralphie and Messy Marvin.
Lindsey, I hated Jody on "Family Affair," too, because people used to tell me that I looked like him.
Madhat, I have a thing for women with strong jowls. So sue me.
What an awesome compilation!
Going through the list of immediate standouts...oh, w'tha hell, I'll comment on each and every one:
Danica--looks the same--always with the cute, knows something you don't know smile
Justin Henry--don't know who he is--Eight is Enough?
Erin Morna--was weirdly sexy to me growing-up but now just seems like a friendly grown-up woman with perhaps a rather toothy smile. But I've heard she's a nice lady.
Jeremy Miller--looks the same to me
Melissa Gilbert is strange one to me--is she hot? I never can tell either way...sometimes in a moment, very hot, then another time, like your brother. But I'll bet she's a banshee in bed, either way...
Adam Rich--okay, the above 8isEnough entry corrected itself here - obviously not Justin (but that same identical "aint he a cute kid" perfunctory TV mop top. Seems like he turned-out well enough but also looks to be a bit of a gigilo/svengali "Live at the Roxbury" type perhaps? Maybe not...don't know the young buck.
Blossom still cute. Might even be hot--hard to tell from the photo.
Regarding Lisa and Louise--spitting image of Stephen King's mind. God, I miss Scatman Crothers.
Yep, Peter Billingsly has to have traveled the greatest distance from zero to hero! Handsome chap.
Mindy Cohn...always kind of felt sorry for her and frightened of her so going to let sleeping dogs lie.
Looks like Robbie Rist said to himself, "I'm going to blow this Brady Bunch rap forever but could only make it as far as Abe Lincoln--go, Rob Lincoln!
Tina Yothers--another strangely cute one. Definately a schnozz job here. Like the new dark bangs--was always this color or non? She used to be quite a little bad girl on the Howard Stern show while he still had a little cerebral chutzpah and before he became a total misogynist ass.
Brandon Cruz of today is sca'wy! People let me tell you 'bout my best f'iend. Probably a likeable guy though...
Lisa Whelchel--pass.
Brian Foster--yep, same but different!
Kim Fields--never saw that wretched show but when channel-surfing, I would pause if she was on as a strange secret crush began to emerge that finally vindicated itself--briefly--during Queen Latifah's reign on TV where Kim completely blossomed as a babe. Ms. Fields went on a TV show blind date with some lucky joe schmoe palooka and genuinely seemed kind of nice and also confused about her own status simultaneously - am I a nobody, am I a somebody...oh god please, can somebody tell me!?"
Danny Lloyd--he ain't go da shinin' no more. Underneath that smile, probably kick your teeth in if you ask him to say "redrum" one more time!
Melissa Sue Anderson could strike me dead with those laser beam eyes! Intense--lovely, actually--almost scary!
Don't remember Brian Bonsall--was too busy scoping-out that little minx, Justine Bateman...
Don't remember Danielle Brisebois.
Never watched Home Improvement. Looks like the kid turned out well enough though...
Elizabeth is still so cute and another little crush of mine that does not diminish with this photo. I miss her...
I think Adam Rich is channeling a George Michael. ....barbra peapod
Wow! Danica McKellar was HOT then and she is still HOT today! Wow!

Geez, the creepy twins still look kinda creepy! And lots of them look "plastic fantastic"..hehe.
YIKES!
Is it just me or does Danny Lloyd's adult picture look like it was taken at the county lock up?
Here's a link to Danica McKellar's academic paper, which I cannot understand in the slightest:

That must be an old picture of Brian Bonsall because I see that guy at the bars all the time and he's covered in tattoos (including his neck).
I love Danica McKellar. I had such a girl crush on her when I was a teenager and I love what she ended up doing with her life.
Danny Lloyd looks like crap!
great blog! love the list!!!
How could you leave out Mary Badham and Philip Alford ("To Kill a Mockingbird")?
