Who Am I?

I think I'm gonna mix it up a bit on the Who Am I? segment. Instead of just having celebrity children, I am also going to start including pets and recent pictures of celebs we haven't seen in a while. Since some of you rely heavily on the clues, then the change should not effect your ability to guess, so no complaining, please.

To begin:

-Pictured on the left is Candace Cameron Bure (that'd be this little hockey player's mom), and on the right is an actress who guest starred on Bure's claim-to-fame show.

-"I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes. I saw the sign."

-Even though she has a quite full resume, I will always remember her as the best friend and bad influence to Bure's onscreen middle sister.

-Ironically, she has had a quite boring (i.e. drama-free) public life whereas her former onscreen best friend has had her fair share of drama including a drug addiction and (so far) 2 failed marriages.
