Young actress Lisa Jakub, then 14, played Lydia, the family’s eldest child.
NOW:
After appearing in a few more ’90s films including The Beautician and the Beast (alongside Fran Drescher, one of our faves!) and A Walk on the Moon, Jakub opted to retire from acting in 2001 at 22 years old. Her autobiography, You Look Like That Girl, came out in 2015.

Then: Prior to his role as Daniel’s boss Mr. Lundy in ‘Doubtfire,’ Robert Prosky was a critically acclaimed stage actor, garnering over 100 credits to his name in the theater. In 1993, the same year as ‘Doubtfire’ was released, he scored a turn in the football classic ‘Rudy.’ And a year after that, he reunited with his ‘Doubtfire’ co-star Mara Wilson for the remake of ‘Miracle on 34th Street.’
Now: Prosky continued to act up until his death, with roles in films like ‘Dead Man Walking’ and ‘The Scarlet Letter,’ as well as on television as a regular on ‘Veronica’s Closet.’ He passed away in 2008, just several days short of his 78th birthday.
