Profile
Actress. Born on April 6, 1976, in Panorama City, California. Cameron is the daughter of Barbara, a talent manager, and Robert, a gym teacher. She is also the younger sister of Kirk Cameron, an actor best known for his role on the 80s sitcom Growing Pains.
At age five, Cameron launched her acting career with several national commercial spots. After earning guest roles on the series Alice, St. Elsewhere, and Who's the Boss? - and playing opposite Eric Stoltz in Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) - 11-year-old Cameron was cast in Full House as D.J. Tanner, the eldest of three sisters. The part, which showcased her wry wit and charm, fully launched her career. In her down time she worked on films such as Punchline (1988) and sitcoms including Growing Pains.
During her Full House years, Cameron attended a charity hockey game in which co-star Dave Coulier was playing. Coulier introduced her to Russian-born Valeri Bure, a professional NHL player. The two began dating, and were married in 1996. After their wedding, Valeri sent Coulier a hockey stick inscribed with the following: "Dear Dave, thank you for Candace.' Around this time, Cameron appeared in several made-for-television movies: No One Would Tell (1996), She Cried No (1996), and NightScream (1997).
In 1998, Cameron gave birth to daughter Natasha. Son Lev followed in 2000. That same year, at the age of 24, she committed herself fully to the Christian ministry, and when son Maksim was born in 2002, Cameron took a hiatus from her acting career to enjoy life as a wife, Christian and mother.
Five years later, Cameron returned to the small screen with a cameo on Disney's That's So Raven. She followed the appearance with two film roles: The Wager (2007), and the Christmas-themed Moonlight and Mistletoe (2008). With her re-entry into the acting world underway, Cameron landed a principal role on ABC Family's Make It or Break It, a dramatic series about aspiring Olympic gymnasts. She continues to lecture and work with philanthropic Christian organizations, and is a columnist for Christian Women Online Magazine.
