Date of Birth: March 25, 1974

Age: 41

Voorhies is an actress who quickly rose to fame playing Lisa Turtle on ‘Saved by the Bell’, an NBC sitcom, from 1988 to 1993. She was among those nominated for The Young Artist Award six times, and won in 1990 and 1993. She also starred as a regular on ‘Good Morning- Miss Bliss’ on the Disney sitcom.

Born in Nashville as Lark Holloway, she later adopted a stage name, “Voorhies”. She was named ‘Lark’, after the character in ‘Cool Breeze’ (1972), played by Margaret Avery. At age 12, she appeared in a national TV commercial for the Universal Studios Tour, advertising the upcoming King Kong attraction. At age 14, she reappeared on one episode of the ‘Small Wonder’ (1989).

Lark married Miguel Coleman in the 1996, before separating from him in 2001 and divorcing in 2004. She later met Jimmy Green, a music engineer, at some networking event in 2014. After dating for an year, they married in April, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In 2012, Lark’s mother told the ‘People Magazine’ that her daughter had been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. Lark however, denied this during multiple interviews, insisting that she was fine. Her changing appearance has begged to differ.

Date of Birth: February 22, 1986

Age: 29

Hughes was born in California to Mary and John Hughes. He started his acting career when he was just 22 months old in a public service announcement. This was followed by appearing in his first ever feature film 5 months later. At only age 3, Miko starred in ‘Pet Sematary’ as Gage Creed (1989). He’s also known for various films such as ‘Apollo 13’, ‘Mercury Rising’ (alongside Bruce Willis) and ‘Kindergarten Cop’.

As an adult actor, he guest-starred on several episodes of WB’s ‘Roswell’ despite not doing much film work. John Hughes was widely popular as a consistent, busy young actor in Hollywood. He received an Emmy Award for participating as the voice of Tommy in ‘Life with Louise’ (1995), the number-one-rated Fox animated series. Other voice-over credits include ‘Sly and Witt’, ‘Twin Babies’, in the feature film ‘Baby Geniuses’ (1999).

At age nine, he released 2 albums as a musician, one which was self-titled and the other was called ‘Halloween Haunts’. These were then recorded and released by his very own company (Little Chief Inc.) in 2013. Currently, he’s a successful DJ, naming himself ‘DJ Cubed’. By just looking at him, you’d never think of him as the creepy, homicidal kid who rose from the dead to kill people!
