You'll probably best remember her from this Jello pic right here.

According to her Instagram bio, she's a painter, actress, and mother.

She seems pretty happy!

She's super into smoothies.

Like, I'm not kidding, she's always posing with them.

She also has a dog, so that's cool.

And because you were dying to know, she was Catwoman for Halloween last year.

So yeah, all the child stars from the '90s are in their 40s now.
