What Ever Happened to the Cast of 3rd Rock from the Sun?

As Lynn Tanner, the Tanner family’s teenage daughter, Andrea Elson was the show’s emotional bridge between family sitcom and sci-fi chaos. Lynn was sweet, sensible, and constantly embarrassed by her alien “brother.” Elson played her with genuine heart, balancing teenage angst and affection in a house that was anything but normal.

Before ALF, Elson was a young actress on the rise, having appeared in Whiz Kids and Silver Spoons. She was just a teenager when she joined the cast, and the sudden fame of being part of a hit network show was both thrilling and overwhelming.
