Career
She started her career as a 4-year-old, appearing in a hot dog commercial [1] Her debut role was in the sitcom Valerie in 1987 when she played Pamela, the niece of Mrs. Poole (Edie McClurg).[2] Jeff Franklin cast her as Stephanie Tanner in Full House in 1987 and she was on the show until its end in 1995.[2] After the show's finale, Sweetin graduated from Los Alamitos High School in 1999,[1] and attended Chapman University in Orange, California.
She returned to television by hosting the second season of the Fuse TV show Pants-Off Dance-Off.[2] Sweetin starred in a TV pilot, Small Bits of Happiness, a dark comedy centered around a suicide prevention specialist; it won Best Comedy at the 3rd Annual Independent Television Festival, in Los Angeles.
Personal life
While in high school, she and actor Matthew Morrison both did musical theatre together.[3] At age 20, Sweetin married Los Angeles Police Officer Shaun Holguin. Fellow Full House castmate Candace Cameron served as her matron of honor, with Cameron's daughter, Natasha, serving as a flower girl.[4] Sweetin and Holguin divorced in 2006.
Sweetin met Cody Herpin, a film transportation coordinator, through friends, and they started dating in May 2007. They were married in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 14, 2007. The couple has one daughter named Zoie Laurelmae who was born on April 12, 2008. On November 19, 2008, Sweetin filed for legal separation from Cody Herpin.[5] A representative of Sweetin told Life & Style that "She felt this was the way she had to go."[6] On April 20, 2010, the divorce was finalized.[7]
Sweetin is a recovering drug addict who began using methamphetamine because she was "bored".[8] In 2009, Sweetin wrote a memoir called unSweetined, which chronicles her downward spiral of alcohol and drug abuse that began with the ending of Full House.[9] The book is currently under contract with Spotlight Entertainment.[citation needed] In one passage of the book, Sweetin discusses breaking into tears while addressing a crowd at Wisconsin's Marquette University about growing up on television and about how great her life was ever since she was sober. However, at the time, she was coming down from a two-day bender of coke, meth, and ecstasy.[10]
On April 30, 2010, Sweetin's representative confirmed that she and her boyfriend of one year, Morty Coyle, were expecting a child.[11] On August 31, 2010, daughter Beatrix Carlin Sweetin Coyle was born.[12] Sweetin and Coyle became engaged on January 18, 2011.[13]
In December 2010, officials in California filed documents alleging that Sweetin owes nearly $30,000 in back taxes from 2009.[14]
