Happy birthday, Candace Cameron Bure! Today, the star of Hallmark Channel movies and more turns 45 years old. Over the course of her decades-long career, Candace has grown so much from the time she was a child star to becoming Hallmark Channel staple and mother of three youngsters. As fans celebrate the star’s birthday, let’s take a look back at her remarkable transformation through the years.
Along with cast members like John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Bob Saget, Jodie Sweetin, and Mark-Kate and Ashley Olsen, among others, she appeared in nearly 200 episodes over the course of the series’ eight-season run. During that time, Candace went from being a little kid, to a teenager, and confident young woman. While the series ended in 1995, she had a lot to look forward to in the next chapter of her life.
She joined the cast of the reality competition series Dancing with the Stars for season 18 in 2014. Candace came in third at the end of the season. From there, she was a co-host on The View from 2015-2016, and continued to appear in holiday films for Hallmark Channel. From 2016-2020, she reprised her role of D.J. Tanner for the sequel series of Full House, aptly titled Fuller House. To see more photos of the star through the years, take a look at the gallery above!
