Lori Loughlin, an American actress popularly known for her role in "Full House," was born July 28, 1964, in New York City.
One of Loughlin's first acting roles was as Jody Travis in the series "The Edge of Night." She appeared on the show from 1980 until 1984.
Four years after "The Edge of Night's" end came the beginning of "Full House." On the show, Loughlin played Rebecca Donaldson, later Rebecca Katsopolis, when her character married Jesse Katsopolis, played by John Stamos. Aunt Becky and Uncle Jesse were fan favorites on the series.
When the original "Full House" came to a close in 1995, it wasn't the end of the show.
Much of the original cast, plus some fresh new faces, were part of the reboot, "Fuller House," which focused more on the children of the Tanner family.
After "Full House," Loughlin acted in a number of TV shows, like "Summerland," "In Case of Emergency" and "90210."
She also appeared in several TV movies, like "The Price of Heaven," "Eastwick," "A Mother's Rage," Northpole: Open for Christmas" and "Every Christmas Has a Story."
