Rich or Rehab: Whatever Happened to Staci Keanan?

Posted by Jen Chaney

Children of the '80s, surely you remember the girl who had "My Two Dads." Her name was Staci Keanan and for three seasons on NBC, she played sitcom daughter to Paul Reiser and Greg Evigan. Presumably, many of you have spent many sleepless nights wondering what happened to the young actress. Well, here's the update. Consider your insomnia cured.

After her stint on "My Two Dads," Keanan popped up on a few other series here and there until she landed a more permanent gig on that other sitcom that made her famous, "Step by Step." After that comedy ended its run in 1998, the Pennsylvania native's bio gets a bit ... vague.

According to imdb, she majored in art history at UCLA. But I coudn't dig up any information about when she graduated. What is apparent is that Keanan eventually returned to acting. She appears to have done some theater and, in recent years, a few more movie credits have appeared on her resume. Among them: a pair of recent roles in Christian-themed films slated for release this year: the comedy "Holyman Undercover," scheduled to come to DVD in September, and a film that ChristianCinema.com describes as "pro-life", "Sarah's Choice."

It's unclear what's on tap next for Keanan, but she seems to be working semi-steadily. Meanwhile, "My Two Dads" made its DVD debut earlier this year. You can catch her reminiscing about the experience on the box set's special features. Who knows? Perhaps a "My Two Dads" renaissance is just around the corner.

Here's a semi-recent picture of Keanan, proof that the 33-year-old has aged pretty well.

Is it just me, or do a really high proportion of sitcom child stars go on to be very active Christians? Maybe the title of this feature should be "Religion or Rehab"?
