Biography

Actress Jodie Sweetin earned a permanent and well-deserved place in the hearts of all mid-'80s sitcom lovers circa 1987, when the then-five-year-old won the part of pint-sized Stephanie Tanner, the middle daughter of widowed sportscaster-turned-morning-show host Danny Tanner (Bob Saget), on the Friday-night laugh-fest Full House. Sweetin remained with the ABC program for all of its eight-year run (from 1987 through 1995) but maintained a somewhat lower profile thereafter. The former child star made headlines in 2007, however, when she announced her pregnancy with her second husband. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Career

Her debut role was in the sitcom, Valerie, in 1987, in which she played "Pamela," the niece of Mrs. Poole.[1] Sweetin also provided the voice of "Sally Brown" in It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown.[1] Jeff Franklin cast her as "Stephanie Tanner" in Full House, in 1987, and she was on the show until its end, in 1995.[1] After the show's finale, Sweetin finished high school and attended Chapman University, in Orange, California.

She returned to television by hosting the second season of the Fuse TV show Pants-Off Dance-Off.[1] Sweetin starred in a TV pilot, Small Bits of Happiness, a dark comedy centered around a suicide prevention specialist; it won Best Comedy at the 3rd Annual Independent Television Festival, in Los Angeles.

Personal life

At age 20, Sweetin married Los Angeles Police Officer Shaun Holguin. Fellow Full House castmate Candace Cameron served as her matron of honor, with Cameron's daughter, Natasha, serving as a flower girl.[2]

Sweetin met Cody Herpin, a film transportation coordinator, through friends, and they started dating in May 2007. After just two months of dating, Sweetin married Cody Herpin in Las Vegas on July 14, 2007. Herpin and Sweetin's daughter Zoie Laurel May was born on April 12, 2008.[3]

On Wednesday, November 19, 2008, Sweetin filed for legal separation from Cody Herpin.[4] A representative of Sweetin told Life & Style that "She felt this was the way she had to go."[5]

Sweetin wrote a memoir which is under contract with Spotlight Entertainment and chronicles her downward spiral of alcohol and drug abuse that began with the ending of, Full House. The book, titled, unSweetined, was released in bookstores November 3, 2009.[6]
