Jamiee Foxworth
Jamiee Foxworth started her career modelling at the age of five and appeared in commercials. But she really became a household name as Judy Winslow on the TV sitcom Family Matters, which she starred in for four seasons. After she left the show she formed a musical group named S.H.E with her two sisters but struggled to find work in the movie industry. Unfortunately she then fell down the slippery Hollywood slope of substance abuse, alcohol and painkiller addiction, and depression. She also appeared in adult movies and used nearly all of her trust fund to save her family from filing for bankruptcy. However she since turned her life around and stopped working in the adult movie industry, became clean and in 2009 had a baby boy with her long-term boyfriend.
