Jennifer Runyon A few years before her death, she made her decision to quit Hollywood public.
“since GhostbustersI’ve done a lot of work and I’m lucky enough to be an actor. I got married in 1991 and had my son, Wyatt, in 1993. Once we had our son, I knew I wanted to spend some time being a mother,” A very Brady Christmas actress told Lady in Red Blog July 2016. “I grew up in a household where my parents worked, we had housekeepers and nannies (my mom and dad were broadcasters), and I grew up with other people who were there every day. I didn’t want that for my kids because I knew all I wanted was my mom. I wanted to be a mom.”
She continued, “I want to experience every moment. I don’t want someone to call me on set, ‘Oh my God, Wyatt is gone!’ I want to be the first person to experience that, if possible.”
Runyon, mother to son Wyatt, 32, and daughter Bayley, 30, welcomed them with her husband Todd Coleman.
Before her death in July 2024, Shannen Doherty rose to fame in film and television. The actress, who was born in Memphis in April 1971, began her career as a child star in “Little House on the Prairie” before starring in the dark comedy film “Heathers.” Doherty’s fame continued to grow after (…)
“I left the business to raise my kids, we left Hollywood and moved to Idaho and Oregon,” she added. “We were gone for about 10 years, had kids, and 10 years later we moved to California because our parents were getting older and we felt it was time to come home and spend time with our parents.”
Runyon explained that while she’s been out of Hollywood for more than a decade, she hasn’t left the workplace entirely.
“When I came home, my kids were 10 and 12, and during that time, I would work in their schools and teach acting, not introducing the kids to being actors, but doing all the fun improv exercises with the kids because it helps them overcome their fear of being in front of an audience and their peers if they have to give a speech or give a presentation,” she told the outlet at the time. “My hope is that this is a way to inspire kids to know that it’s okay to stand up in front of people; anyone can do it. I’ve been doing it for years. When my daughter was a junior in high school and my son was in college, I got involved with an organization called Tilly’s Life Center (TLC).”
