Despite being a prolific ice skater, Nancy Kerrigan became a headline in the news because of some unfortunate incidents. A victim of the 1994 Ice Skating Scandal, she did not let it dampen her spirits and recovered rather quickly, truth be told.
She was such an exceptional skater that she managed to win a silver medal at the Winter Olympics in 1994, which, hold your breath, was held only a few weeks after the mishap! After that, in 2010 and 2014, Kerrigan remained as an Olympics correspondent. Kerrigan participated in the 24th season of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and won 6th place.
Mara Wilson
Wilson was famous in the 1990s as a child star. When she played the title character of ‘Matilda’ so convincingly, the world fell in love with this intelligent, mind-controlling, and Trunchball-defeating character! She was also seen in the very famous movie ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ along with Robin Williams. However, despite her initial stardom, she stepped out of the limelight.
Wilson loves to write and published a book, ‘Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame,’ in 2016. No one knows if Wilson will ever return to be in front of the cameras, but one thing is certain. She has definitely left an erasable mark in the industry that continues to shine.
Tonya Harding
Once recognized as a terrific ice skater, Harding met with an accusation in the year 1994. Every news channel reported her and Nancy Kerrigan’s beef. It was actually Shane Stant who had injured Kerrigan, but the accusation fell on Harding. She was charged with harming a fellow competitor, and her skating career obviously ended after that.
However, she had a busy life by selling a scandalous tape, having a rather short boxing career, and having set a new land speed record for a vintage gas coupe. Harding is now married to her third husband; they have a son and live relatively quietly in Vancouver, Washington.
Cote de Pablo
Chilean by birth, Pablo had spent most of her childhood in Florida. She completed high school and attended Carnegie Mellon to study musical theater. After getting her degree, she got her first role in the series ‘The $treet’ in 2000. She continued to play small roles in many movies. Still, Pablo had to wait long before shining on the silver screen!
Her big break came through when she performed the character of Ziva David in ‘NCIS’ until 2013. She played that role for many years over a whopping 194 episodes! These days, besides appearing in various shows, fans have been delighted to discover that de Pablo is working as a producer on a new show.
Melissa Joan Hart
Is there any teenager of the 90s who was not hooked to ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’? People fell in love with Melissa Joan Hart when she portrayed Sabrina with such sweetness! Her career was smooth and charismatic, and she continued on with many TV shows and movies.
Hart’s next big break came in 2010 with ABC Family’s ‘Melissa and Joey,’ which went on for five years. Quite impressive, really. An exciting piece of news broke the internet in 2012 when she tweeted that she was in full support of the Republican party, but she has since switched to Libertarian.
