Once upon a time, Kellie Martin was super famous

Kellie Martin is another name that will likely be recognizable to Gen X and older millennials, but to fewer people under age 40. Martin started on screen in 1982, but broke out in 1989 as part of the ensemble for the drama series "Life Goes On." Her career dwindled for a handful of years after the show's end in 1993 — with a failed sitcom attempt on "Christy" in 1994 and 1995 — but Martin had a major resurgence in 1998 when she scored a series regular role on "ER." Her character was written off the series only two years later, which is shortly before the actor graduated from Yale University with a degree in art history.

In the years following Yale, Martin appeared mostly in TV movies with names like "Live Once, Die Twice" and "Lethal Obsession." She then transitioned to Hallmark, where her films have had far fewer menacing titles (think "Christmas in Montana" and "Hello, It's Me"). Martin appeared in 14 movies for the network between 2012 and 2019, including nine in the "Hailey Dean Mysteries" series, where she appeared as the title character. Though she is not one of those child stars who ditched Hollywood for a "normal" job, Martin has clearly given up on Hollywood. She's had only one role since 2022 (the TV movie "An Amish Sin") and since her online toy store Romp no longer has an active website, there is not a lot of intel on what the star is doing today for work.
