I remember reading in some Disney mag, in my dentist’s waiting room about 5 years ago, that she’s well on her way to completing med school and becoming a doctor (perhaps so she can prescribe obscene amounts of painkillers to her despondent former co-stars).

On a related note, I met a guy at a party last week who looked just like Anthony, from Blossom.

WOAH!

I think she’s his great-granddaughter…I’m not sure, though.
