We'll give that "War Horse" is technically a movie about an animal, but Steven Spielberg's sweeping war epic is actually so effective in part because of the 15 horses that managed to give an expressive, unified performance as the wonder-horse Joey. Sadly, Uggie was put down in at age 13 after a battle with prostate cancer. Lesson learned: do not mess with John Wick's dog.
This adorable, 1-year-old beagle at the time of filming won the job over a dozen other puppies in the filmmakers search for "the cutest dog in the world" and managed to warm the heart of even the most cold-blooded of assassins as played by Keanu Reeves. Janney actually "auditioned" three separate birds for the role and this one "just sat there and was so sweet," she told the New York Times.
But when the time came to film, it kept pecking at her oxygen tank, forcing her to step up her game and focus. This fluffy star in the making appeared in not one but two hits , the thriller "Widows" and the comedy "Game Night. But all's well that ended well when the two reunited on a talk show. The important thing to know about Goose is that he's not actually a cat, but rather a " flerken ," a vicious, multi-tentacled space beast who can gobble up an army of alien soldiers and leave a permanent scratch for one Nick Fury.
There are a lot of fun animal movies. I agree with TheWrap's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and provide my consent to receive marketing communications from them.
The John Hughes film was a breakout role for Porter; she starred opposite big names like Jim Belushi , who portrayed her con artist father figure whose heart she manages to soften by the end of the film and their happily ever after.
Steve Carell , who wasn't yet famous, even made an appearance. While the film itself wasn't very well-received by critics, Porter became a recognizable figure due to her curly hair, which she later revealed in an interview as an adult wasn't naturally curly and resulted from frequent perms.
She also appeared in high-profile gigs prior to Curly Sue , like appearing in a Golden Girls episode and competing on Star Search. Still, despite a promising start to her career and what looked to be her steadily rising star, Porter largely stepped out of the public eye for the rest of her childhood, only reappearing as an adult to pursue a music career. That is, until they meet rich divorce lawyer Grey Ellison Kelly Lynch , who ends up changing their fortunes for the better.
While critics may not have taken kindly to the film, it was hard not to feel fondness for Curly Sue herself, and for Porter's endearing performance. But where is Alisan Porter from Curly Sue now? Porter stepped away from professional acting for several years, but she didn't stop acting entirely. Her undeniable stage presence made it clear that she might be destined for bigger things—and soon enough, she was on Broadway.
In fact, her most recent film credit is as herself in the documentary Every Little Step , which follows the casting of that revival. And other than her work in commercials, she had no other experience going into it. I don't know if that's luck or DNA. Porter totally killed it in the role, which director John Hughes tailored for her.
After Curly Sue , Porter seemed to drop off the radar, but that didn't mean she was unsuccessful or failing to make it in the film industry. Instead, she was actually enjoying a shot at a normal life: she and her family moved to Connecticut where she went to middle and high school. Talk about a change of pace!
The move proved to be good for Porter, as she could finally focus on her own personal development without the stress of the Hollywood life looming over her. Despite the fact that Porter left the glitz and glamour of Hollywood behind, she didn't stop acting and singing — far from it, actually. She also had roles in Oklahoma! Porter also enrolled in dance classes while in high school, as she had her eye on a new prize.
And she got there after landing a role in Footloose — but there was still so much more to come. If proof was needed that she had a future after Curly Sue , boom! There it is. In , Porter did something extremely brave: she told the world that she's in recovery. Kudos to you, girl — that takes courage! For Porter, hitting bottom wasn't as bad as it could have been. But she knew when it was time to make a change.
