Ah, the 90s. A decade that brought us flannel shirts, cassette tapes, and a whole lot of memorable faces. You know the ones—those actors, musicians, and TV personalities who seemed to be everywhere, yet somehow faded from our screens and airwaves without us even realizing it. It’s a little like that old sweater you love but didn’t notice was lost in the back of your closet. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane and catch up with some of those famous faces we might’ve forgotten… or at least haven’t seen in a while.
1. Jennie Garth
Remember Kelly Taylor from “Beverly Hills, 90210”? Jennie Garth was the quintessential girl-next-door with a flair for drama. After the show wrapped up in the early 2000s, she dabbled in a few reality shows and movies, but it seems like she quietly stepped away from the spotlight. Where’d she go? Maybe she’s out there living her best life, far from the paparazzi’s prying eyes, or perhaps she’s busy raising her kids and perfecting that homemade guacamole recipe we all dream about.
2. Jonathan Taylor Thomas
Oh, JTT! He was every teen girl’s crush in the 90s, thanks to his role on “Home Improvement.” With his boyish charm and those striking blue eyes, it’s hard to forget him. After a successful run, he decided to take a backseat to Hollywood, focusing on his education and a quieter life. Last we heard, he was dabbling in voice acting and occasionally popping up in nostalgic conversations. Honestly, can we get a reunion special, please? I need to know what he’s up to!
3. Tiffani-Amber Thiessen
From “Saved by the Bell” to “Beverly Hills, 90210,” Tiffani-Amber Thiessen was a staple of 90s television. Who didn’t want to be her or at least hang out with her? Nowadays, she’s more about cooking shows and motherhood than high school drama. It’s refreshing to see her embrace a different kind of fame, but you can’t help but wonder what would happen if she reprised her iconic roles. Would she still be the queen bee, or has life made her a little more… relatable?
4. Brandy Norwood
Brandy was everywhere in the 90s, from her hit songs like “The Boy Is Mine” to her iconic role in the sitcom “Moesha.” She was a trendsetter, and her voice was unmistakable. Fast forward to now, and you might not hear her on the radio as much, but she’s still in the game! With a few recent projects and collaborations, she’s making her way back into the spotlight. It’s like she’s got a secret map to rediscovering fame, and I’m here for it!
5. Lisa Turtle (Lark Voorhies)
Another “Saved by the Bell” alum, Lark Voorhies played the fabulous Lisa Turtle. She was the fashionista we all aspired to be, with a style that inspired countless trends. After the show, Lark faced some personal challenges that took her away from the limelight. Today, she’s working on her mental health and even released a book. It’s a reminder that fame isn’t everything, and sometimes, taking a step back is the healthiest choice.
6. Wilmer Valderrama
Oh, Fez! Wilmer Valderrama brought so much laughter to “That ’70s Show” with his quirky charm. He was the go-to guy for anything fun and silly. After the show wrapped, he went on to pursue various acting projects, but he’s also done a lot of behind-the-scenes work. You might catch glimpses of him on social media, where he’s found a new audience. It’s nice to see him thriving, even if it’s not in the same way we remember.
7. Angela Kinsey
Angela Kinsey played the hilariously uptight Angela Martin on “The Office,” and she was just as unforgettable as the show itself. After the show ended, she seemed to slip off the radar for a while, but don’t worry! Angela has been busy with her own YouTube channel and various acting gigs, proving that she’s still got that comedic flair.
