This 90s starlet found herself in education.
Hilary Banks, the character from the beloved 90s series, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” was a total hit back then. The actress had years of success in showbiz with the Will Smith sitcom, as well as in other productions such as “Major Payne” with Damon Wayans and “Lush Life.” The actress, however, found her true passion in education. She created Sweet Blackberry, a non-profit that teaches kids about black history.
In 2020, Parsons was back starring in a new family drama called “Sweet Thing” about the”misadventures of a pair of siblings looking for childhood sanctuary amid familial turmoil and dysfunctionality.” Sounds good!
Mike Vitar
This Mighty Duck became an LA firefighter.
Mike Vitar shot to stardom as a child in the kids classic, "The Mighty Ducks." He also starred in the film "Sandlot." In 1996, however, the young actor left the scene and decided to work in a completely different field — the LA Fire Department.
We're sorry to see him out of Hollywood. He could have been a real star.
Lark Voorhies
This former Saved by the Bell actress got saved by the brush.
Voorhies got famous from her Lisa Turtle character on "Saved by the Bell," making her a household name. After the show, the actress, unfortunately, quit acting and took to the canvass. The now painter, however, is apparently very private about her work and keeps it to herself.
Since 2010, Voorhies has also self-published three whole books: "Reciprocity," "Trek of the Cheshire," and "A True Light." Clearly talented in many aspects!
Geena Davis
This screen legend is helping women in the film industry.
Geena Davis is best known for her work in the films "Thelma & Louise," "Beetlejuice," and "A League of Their Own." After a very long and successful career, the actress took some time out from Hollywood life to focus on bettering the roles of women in film and how they are represented in the media. She founded the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media.
Good work Geena! We hope to see you again!
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Buffy the Entrepreneur.
Buffy was our favorite vampire slayer ever. Thanks to this show, the actress Sarah Michelle Gellar became a household name. After many years on TV and film, the actress turned to a different field...food. Gellar founded the now enormously successful food company, Foodstirs — a cooking and baking-kit company that deals in organic and non-GMO ingredients.
We never could imagine Buffy calming down and turning to the kitchen, but it seems that life is full of surprises.
