Hey guys,
Blowing out 46 candles today is none other than....
Lori Anne Loughlin
Born in Queens, NY and standing 5'6"
Lori Loughlin is an actress of comedy and drama
She began her career at age 12 as a print model. During her early teen years she appeared in television commercials, and was frequently seen in national print ads like the Sears catalog and Bradlees weekly flyers. In 1979, she received her first recognizable national television exposure playing a cheerleader with a cast on her leg in a Tab Cola commercial
She was 15 when she starred on the Procter & Gamble Soap Opera The Edge of Night playing the part of Jody Travis, an aspiring dancer and she also appeared as a spokesperson for Mead Tablets
In 1983, she was nominated for a Young Artist Award for "Best Young Actress in the Daytime Series" for her role in The Edge of Night
She appeared in movies including Back to the Beach Starring Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, Connie Stevens and Paul Reubens as Pee Wee Herman
She's Guest Starred in TV Shows like My Three Sons, Matt Houston, The Equalizer, Suddenly Susan, Seinfeld, Spin City, The Drew Carey Show, Justice League Unlimited, 1-800 Missing and Ghost Whisperer
She's also starred in Made For TV Movies such as Empty Cradle w/Kate Jackson, In the Line of Duty: Blaze of Glory, Tell Me No Secrets and Casper: A Spirited Beginning playing the role of a No-Nonsense Librarian Sheila Fistergraff
She's also appeared in 2 Episodes for CBS Schoolbreak Special
"Babies Having Babies" in which she won a "Michael Landon Award" in the Young Artist Awards and "No Means No" in which she was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Performer in a Children's Special"
She has also starred in other TV Series like Summerland, a series she created and produced w/the late Aaron Spelling
The series won her a PRISM Award "Best Performance in a Drama Series Storyline"
and she starred in the short-lived abc sitcom Hudson Street Starring Tony Danza (who also produced the series)
But she is best known for her role as The Tanner Girls' Serious No-Nonsense Aunt Rebecca Donaldson-Katsopolis on the hit abc family series Full House
Her character went from recurring to regular as Rebecca and Jesse married on the show, and this would be her most notable role to date
When she Guest Starred in Season 2 of the series, she was originally only contracted for six episodes of "Full House" but after positive audience reaction, she was given a full-time role. The initial storyline for her was to be just Danny's co-host and go on one date with him, realizing they would never work out in a dating relationship and have their relationship remain just professional. However, when she became a full-time character, they created a storyline where she would fall in love with Jesse and eventually marry him.
During her recurring role in Season 2, Full House pulled good ratings from #70 to the Top 40 landing @ #32 and when she joined the cast of Full House, the series would become a Top 30 Hit for the last 6 Seasons
It was Top 20 from Seasons 4-7 and when the show moved to Tuesday Nights during the 5th Season, it became a Top 10 Hit for 2 consecutive seasons, but Season 5 was their highest peak when it peaked @ #7
In 1995, despite the fact the show was still rated in the Top 25, abc announced that it was canceling the show after the 8th season due to the increasing production costs. Their were also sources that The new WB network wanted to pick up the show for a 9th season, but John Stamos announced that the 8th season would be his last (he was mainly upset about Full House defecting from one of the "Big Four" networks to a network which had not yet received full national distribution). Eventually, the other actors announced they were also ready to move on to other projects, thus ending the show's 8-year run. The 1-hour finale was watched by 24.3 million viewers, ranking #7 for the week and attracting a 14.6 household rating and a 25% audience share
Full House was also nominated for a TV Land Award for "Best Quintessential Non-Traditional Family"
and as of 2008, Lori plays the role Debbie Wilson on The CW's 90210, the spin-off of Beverly Hills, 90210.
Lori is still staying active and she is still going strong
Lori is also married to her current husband Mossimo Giannulli who is the creator of the popular "Mossimo" clothing line and they also have 2 children
She also remains close friends with her "Full House" Co-Stars John Stamos, Bob Saget, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen, Andrea Barber who played Kimmie Gibbler on the show and of course, Dave Coulier
She also appeared in cameo roles in Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen's movies including To Grandmother's House We Go playing the role of a Game Show Hostess
Here are her personal quotes:
"At first it was awkward having to be romantic with him because of our past relationship in real life, but when I realized that it was professional and we were just acting, it made it a little bit easier not getting caught up in the moment." - about playing the love interest of John Stamos on "Full House" after having a real life relationship with him.
"It was quite an adjustment to me. Before "Full House" my roles were mostly serious soap opera parts playing evil characters. Now I was a squeaky clean morning show host from Nebraska on a TGIF sitcom."
When you don't work for awhile, immediately you get a little black mark next to your name. You have to make difficult choices in your life, and you just have to be happy with them. - on taking her first leading role in "Summerland" since the 1995 end of "Full House".
Happy Birthday Lori, God Bless, and Keep Staying Beautiful
