Many years after her time on Days, Andrea became well known when she became a regular on Full House as Kimmie Gibbler. In this scene, Kimmie and D.J. were getting music lessons from Uncle Jesse. |

This is one of Cain's favorite episodes. Kimmie was head over heels in love with D.J.'s cousin, who was played by Kirk Cameron (Candace's brother). Kimmie followed him around whereever he went and kept bugging him, even after he told her to go away. |

D.J. and Kimmie were always getting into trouble. Here they were trying to get young Michelle to do something she wasn't supposed to be doing. |

When Bob Saget (who played Danny Tanner) quit hosting America's Funniest Home Videos he did a special finale of AFHV. He had all of his former co-stars join him. All the stars returned for the reunion, which was the first time they'd been together on TV since Full House ended. |  |

Child stars are stereotyped," says Barber (at her parents' home). "I didn't have problems going back to real life." For the most part, Andrea Barber, 23, has fond memories of Full House. Her only problem: wardrobe. "Once in a while the costume people would say, 'Hey, kids, take home whatever you want,' " recalls Barber. "The others would grab armloads, and I'd just take a pair of pants. My character was obnoxious, had stinky feet and wore things like purple tights and a yellow top. I hated the clothes." She nevertheless played the role to the hilt. "It was hysterical to see this geeky girl next door taking shots at Bob Saget," says House co-creator Robert Boyett. After House, Barber aimed higher. In 1999 she graduated from California's Whittier College and spent that summer interning with the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. Now working as Whittier's assistant director of foreign studies, Barber is applying to grad schools to pursue a master's in women's rights. "I love being a student," she says. "If I could, I'd stay in school forever." Photo by: Dorothy Low, text: © People Magazine, June 2000 |
