Ann Jillian (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hblIxjcK5CU), especially during (https://www.datalounge.com/thread/9868513-it-s-a-living) the 1980s (https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/ann-jillian-its-a-living-cancer-battle-former-child-star), strikes me as somebody (https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCelebs/comments/n0yadh/does_anyone_remember_ann_jillian_in_the_1980s/) who was a victim of the Hollywood Hype Machine (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/HollywoodHypeMachine/ExamplesThatDidntHoldUp). During the height of her notoriety (https://tellytalk.net/threads/the-ann-jillian-fan-page.10934/), she was hyped up as the second coming (https://www.datalounge.com/thread/13489060-jean-harlow) of Jean Harlow (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Harlow).
The most obvious thing to say or argue (http://comforttv.blogspot.com/2017/08/top-tv-moments-ann-jillian.html) is that her cancer ordeal (https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/ann-jillian-on-surviving-cancer-working-with-walt-disney-more/) is what derailed her career or momentum. But Ann by the looks of it (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0422713/), was still able to obtain work in Hollywood.
But regardless, besides It's a Living (https://www.reddit.com/r/GenX/comments/qau39x/anyone_remember_its_a_living_an_80s_sitcom_about/), she headlined two sitcoms (Jennifer Slept Here (https://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/showthread.php?24226-Jennifer-Slept-Here-The-weird-Ann-Jillian-sitcom-which-only-lasted-one-season) and The Ann Jillian Show) that unfortunately for her, didn't last very long. She was also in Mr. Mom alongside Michael Keaton. Her last (https://www.filmboards.com/board/t/What-has-she-been-up-to-these-last-few-years%3F-2391468/) credited acting role appears to be (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Jillian) from the year 2000.
