Candace Helaine Cameron Bure was the youngest of four children, born in Panorama City, Los Angeles,
California to Robert and
Barbara Cameron. Following in
the footsteps of her older brother
Kirk Cameron, (who played Mike
Seaver for 7 seasons on the hit show

decided to pursue acting herself. She appeared in several commercials,
and guest-starred on shows such as
Punky Brewster (1984),
St. Elsewhere (1982) and
Who's the Boss? (1984).
In 1986, at age 10, she was cast as Donna Jo "D.J." Margaret Tanner-Fuller, the eldest
daughter, on
Full House (1987) and
Fuller House (2016).
The show's eight-year run ranks it among the most successful series of
all time. Candace also appeared in the films
Punchline (1988) (playing
Sally Field's daughter), as well as numerous
television movies.
After
Full House (1987) ended its
run, Candace married hockey player
Valeri Bure at the age of 20. They have
three children. Candace continues to make appearances on
I Love the '80s (2002), and
hosted
