The list of movies and shows she has participated in over the years goes on and on, and hse hasn’t said her last word yet.
Lisa Foiles
Lisa Foiles grew up as a kid watching the original 'All That' smash hit. Imagine her excitement when she was cast for the program in 1994! The 'All That's cast became her family, especially since she was homeschooled and missed out on being a high school teenager. She made the big time with 'Malcolm in the Middle' and was well on her way to becoming an actress in the grown-up world of showbiz.
Now, Lisa is an actress, video game journalist, model, and YouTuber. She hooked up with GameSpot and began hosting gaming events. Her work in the gaming industry has made her a frequent face at L.A. Comic-Con. She is married to producer Shawn Cloninger. The two have a daughter and a son, and they reside in Las Vegas.
Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba's 90s were incredibly fruitful with parts on both 'The Secret World of Alex Mack' and 'Flipper.' The shows got her foot in the door for some serious Hollywood action in 'Dark Angel' as Max. Her depiction of modern female empowerment was loved by all. She also appeared in 'Beverly Hills 90210', 'Never Been Kissed' and other hits such as 'Fantastic Four' and 'Rise of the Silver Surfer.'
Now she’s a family girl with her husband and children and runs The Honest Company, selling a toxin-free lifestyle. She is involved with many charities and is a Baby2Baby ambassador.
Alanis Morissette
Now known for her musical career, Morissette first got into show business as a child actor. It started with a part on the kids' show 'You Can’t Do That On Television' but soon transitioned into music, wrapping her talent all around 90s mainstream radio. In 1995, her album 'Jagged Little Pill' went platinum twelve times over. Hits like “Hand in My Pocket” and “Ironic” are still being played internationally.
Her music career is far from over, and she's constantly working on new materials. In 2021, a documentary covering her life was released, and viewers ( including us) discovered rare facts about her life. Overnight, she gained popularity all over again, this time even more impressive than before.
Lindsay Sloane
If you've ever looked at Lindsay Sloane's face and tried to remember why it looked familiar, it's because she's been EVERYWHERE in the 90s. Those who watched 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' would know her as Valerie Birkhead, Sabrina's friend from 1997 until 1999.
Sloane's acting career, however, started way before that as a child actor who signed with an agent at eight years old. That would explain how she's had a cameo in nearly every successful TV show in the past three decades. After her time as Valerie was done, Sloane got cast as another pop-culture staple as Big Red in 'Bring It On.' She was most recently seen playing the character of Billie in 'Endings, Beginnings,' alongside Shailene Woodley and Sebastian Stan.
