Candace Cameron was born in Panorama City, California on April 6th 1976. She first appeared on T.V. in 1986 on St. Elsewhere. Candace Cameron starred in Camp Cucamonga with Jennifer Aniston from Friends and The Wonder Years actress Danica Mckellar. She is best known for her role as DJ Tanner on Full House which also starred Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen and Jodie Sweetin. She is married to hockey player Valeri Bure and has 3 kids.
Best known for her role as DJ Tanner on ABCs hit sitcom Full House, Candace is counted among the most beloved and respected personalities of her generation.
In 1986, 10 year-old Candace got the call to audition for the roll of DJ Tanner on Full House. Candace impressed the studio executives and producers so much, that they delayed taping the pilot to allow Candace to complete work on her other obligations. The eight-year run of Full House ranks it amongst the most successful series of all time.
During her hiatuses from Full House and immediately following the series finale, Candace drew significant critical acclaim while tackling challenging dramatic roles. Her stirring portrayal of an abused teenager in No One Would Tell landed Candace a place amongst the most sought after television actresses in town. Following that success Candace starred in She Cried No, and Night Scream for NBC. All three pictures scored ratings victories for the network. During that time, she guest starred on such network hits as Cybil and Boy Meets World.
Candace entered the world of pop culture when she was cast in John Hughes Some Kind of Wonderful. Her feature film credits also include Punchline with Tom Hanks and Sally Field and the Cohen Brothers Frankenstein Sings.
Over the past few years, Candace has been on a self-imposed hiatus in support of her husband, NHL hockey star Valeri Bure and their three beautiful children. Candace is currently Executive Producing and starring in "The Krew,' a video for children that's very close to her heart. "The Krew,' available through Amazon.com, is a half-hour awareness video aimed at helping children avoid and deal with dangerous situations in every day life.
Charities:
Candace has a long history of charitable work including significant relationships of giving with the Starlight Foundation and Make-A-Wish, serving as Kids Club President and International Youth Ambassador. She has worked with her brothers charity, Camp Firefly and attends benefits for the Schleroderma Foundation (a charity very close to Bob Saget's heart - the disease took the life of his sister). Candace also joined a team to raise money for the breast cancer foundation at the Revlon Run/Walk for Women in 2002.
Christianity:
Candace was 12 years old when she first accepted Jesus - she was brought to church with her family by some friends. But, she confesses, it wasn't until a few years ago that she really found out what being Christian was all about. God is the most important thing in her life. The church Candace attends is a bible teaching church. There is no denomination. It clearly teaches about Jesus Christ and everything the bible states.
