Jaimee Foxworth (born December 17, 1979) is an American actress who played the part of Judy Winslow, the youngest daughter, for four seasons on Family Matters. She later transitioned to pornographic films using the name Crave.

Career

Jaimee Foxworth began modeling at the age of five, soon appeared in national television advertisements, and ultimately landed the role of Judy Winslow, the youngest of the Winslow family's three children, on the long-running sitcom Family Matters. The combination of the character having little to do on the show, and Foxworth's request for a raise in salary, caused producers to simply write her off the series after its 4th season. The character disappeared without explanation; In subsequent episodes, the Winslows act as though Judy never existed, acknowledging only two children: Eddie and Laura.[1][2]

With very little acting work coming in the years after Family Matters, Foxworth formed a short-lived musical group with her two sisters. Eventually, she battled substance abuse (alcohol and marijuana), depression and destitution. It was rumored that this was prompted in part by a judge's ruling that her trust fund of more than $500,000 be used to save her family from bankruptcy,[3] but she denies this in a 2009 interview, stating that "I think [that came] from the National Enquirer. But we never filed for bankruptcy. We were almost to the point where we were just completely flat broke, but we never filed for bankruptcy".[4] Foxworth later switched to starring in pornographic films, usually credited as "Crave".[5]

Personal life

In 2008, Foxworth addressed her substance abuse issues by taking part in the reality television show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. On his July 17, 2008 radio show Dr. Drew Live, Dr. Drew Pinsky briefly mentioned that he suspects Foxworth is still using cannabis.

In December 2008, People magazine reported that Foxworth was pregnant, with she and her boyfriend expecting their child to be born in the spring of 2009. The magazine also reported that Foxworth was working on a music career and a reality show, and expected to release her autobiography in 2009.[6]

On May 29, 2009 People magazine reported that Foxworth and longtime boyfriend, Michael Shaw, welcomed a boy, Michael Douglas Shaw Jr. He was 10 days overdue and Foxworth shared the news of his birth while still in the delivery room via text message.[7]

In the fall of 2009, the TV One series "Life After" chronicled Jaimee's story, dealing with her departure from "Family Matters", the pornographic films and her subsequent marijuana use, which she claims to have stopped smoking. During the show, her newborn son is shown.
