Early life[edit]
Candace Cameron Bure was born in Panorama City, Los Angeles, California to Robert Cameron and Barbara Bausmith Cameron.[1] She is one of four children.
Career[edit]
Following in the footsteps of her older brother Kirk, Candace decided to pursue acting. She started in the entertainment business by appearing in a number of television commercials. Soon after, she guest starred roles on shows such as St. Elsewhere, Growing Pains, and Who's the Boss?. (Among the roles for which she auditioned was the lead on Small Wonder which ultimately went to Tiffany Brissette.) In a 1985 episode of the sitcom Punky Brewster, Cameron portrayed a girl named Jennifer who had been kidnapped by her father. In 1987, she had a role as the youngest sister of Eric Stoltz in the teen comedy Some Kind of Wonderful.
She began the most prominent role of her career in 1987 on the ensemble sitcom Full House, as Donna Jo "D.J." Tanner, the oldest daughter. The long-running series ended in 1995, and she was a member of the cast during its entire run.[2]
While Cameron was on Full House, she was also featured in made-for-TV movies. She starred as an abused teenager in No One Would Tell followed by She Cried No as a date raped teenager and NightScream, a mystery. Cameron guest starred in the failed TV pilot Real Mature and in an episode of Bill Nye The Science Guy as "Candace the Science Gal". She also appeared in the Tom Hanks and Sally Field feature film Punchline.
Cameron has hosted the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in 1990 with Dave Coulier and David Faustino, and again in 1994 with Joey Lawrence and Marc Weiner, becoming the first person to host twice or more (followed by Whitney Houston, Rosie O'Donnell and Jack Black).
After Full House[edit]
After Full House ended in 1995, Cameron guest starred on such network hits as Cybill and Boy Meets World.
After the birth of her children, she took a self-imposed hiatus from television and film to devote her time to her family and children. In the 2000s, she appeared as an interview on the retrospective I Love the '80s and I Love the '80s Strikes Back. She would later co-host 50 Cutest Child Stars: All Grown Up on the E! network, along with Keshia Knight Pulliam of The Cosby Show fame.
In 2006, she guest starred on the sitcom That's So Raven. The following year, she co-starred with Randy Travis in The Wager, and starred with Tom Arnold in the television movie Moonlight and Mistletoe for the Hallmark Channel in 2008. Cameron returned to a television series in 2009 and was cast in Make It or Break It,[3] a teenage gymnastics drama series on ABC Family, playing Summer Van Horne.[4] The series ended in 2012.[5]
Book[edit]
Cameron-Bure has written a book, Reshaping It All (ISBN 1433669730), published in January 2011. It was a New York Times best seller.
Personal life[edit]
Cameron Bure married Russian NHL hockey player Valeri Bure in 1996.[6] They were first introduced at a charity hockey game by her Full House co-star Dave Coulier.[6] Cameron Bure and her husband have three children: daughter Natasha (born 1998)[6] and sons Lev (born 2000)[6] and Maksim (born 2002).[7] Candace became a Christian in her teen years; she credits her faith as the binding force in her marriage.[7]
