Jodie Leanne
Sweetin (born January 19, 1982) is an American actress
best known for her role as Stephanie Tanner on the
television sitcom Full House.
Born in Los Angeles, California, Sweetin first stepped
into show business by doing an Oscar Mayer hot dog
commercial when she was four years old. Her debut role
was in The Hogan Family in 1987, in which she played
Pamela, the niece of Mrs. Poole. She also provided the
voice of Sally Brown in It's Christmastime Again,
Charlie Brown. Jeff Franklin cast her as Stephanie
Tanner in Full House in 1986, and was on the show until
its cancellation in 1995.
Following the end of Full House, Sweetin took a break
from acting. She graduated from Los Alamitos High School
in 1999 and then attended Chapman University in southern
California from 1999–2003. She majored in mass
communications, and planned a show business career as an
acting teacher. She pledged Alpha Phi Women's Fraternity
while in college. Sweetin occasionally made guest
appearances on popular TV shows, including Brotherly
Love, Party of Five, and Yes, Dear. She also did
commercials for Cheerios, Kooshlings, Disneyland, and
Sea World.
Sweetin married police officer and semi-pro tennis
player Shaun Holguin on July 27, 2002. Many of her
friends and family attended the ceremony, as well as her
former Full House castmates. Her flower girl was Full
House co-star Candace Cameron's daughter, Natasha.
Shortly after getting married, Sweetin began using
crystal meth. Her addiction lasted for a little over two
years, and her friends, family, and husband were
unaware. In March 2005, after being in the emergency
room from the effects of alcohol and meth, she
voluntarily checked herself into rehab. "One
minute, everyone loves you, everyone wants you, you're
it," Sweetin said. "And the next minute,
they're like, 'Who? Oh no, never mind.'
In February 2006, she appeared on Good Morning America
to publicly announce her meth addiction, mentioning that
five of her teeth had rotted away. She also denied
tabloid reports of a "three-day bender" and an
intervention from her former Full House castmates. She
also announced that her husband filed for divorce
because her addiction put his status as a police officer
in jeopardy. The divorce was finalized later that year.
Now clean and sober, Sweetin has expressed an interest
in returning to acting in movies or television. From
July 2006 to 2007, Sweetin hosted the second season of
Pants-Off Dance-Off, a TV-14 rated dance contest on Fuse
TV. The program features mostly amateurs stripping down
to their underwear to their favorite music videos.
Sweetin currently resides in Los Angeles. She gives
speeches about her recovery from meth addiction.
She was adopted and has referenced that her biological
family has had a history of addiction
She also lent her voice in the comedic satire Farce of
the Penguins which was directed by her Full House
co-star Bob Saget. Currently she is working in a new TV
pilot called Small Bits of Happiness. She plays the role
of a former child star who becomes a client of a suicide
prevention agency.
On July 14, 2007 at the Little Church of the West, a Las
Vegas wedding chapel, she married, 30-year-old set
designer and actor Cody Herpin.
On September 11, 2007 it was reported by TMZ.com that
Sweetin is currently pregnant with her first child after
