dlee—keeper of TGIF-era sitcom trivia and other useless knowledge—seems to always bring up the odd disappearance of the little sister Judy Winslow on Family Matters whenever we talk about old shows. Well last night he found out what happened. A post on the Family Matters Message Board at IMDb explained the tail. Jamiee Foxworth was a victim of Chuck Cunningham syndrome, inexplicably dropped from the cast and story line of Family Matters at the end of the fourth season. In desperation, she later turned to adult films for quick money after her sitcom fortune was used to cover her family’s bankruptcy debt. IMDb confirms her résumé. Quite a sad and odd story. The stuff rumors are made of. Foxworth is now persuing “serious acting” again, leaving the other kind behind.

Makes you wonder what else the people who used to be in our living rooms every week are doing now.
