Full Biography
Lori Loughlin is an American actress and producer who rose to international fame for her portrayal of Rebecca "Aunt Becky" Donaldson-Katsopolis on the iconic sitcom Full House (1988–1995), a role she later reprised in the Netflix sequel Fuller House. Born in Queens, New York, she began her career as a child model before transitioning to television with a breakout role in the soap opera The Edge of Night. Throughout the 2000s, she solidified her status as a television mainstay, co-creating and starring in the WB series Summerland and playing Debbie Wilson in the CW’s 90210.
In the mid-2010s, Loughlin became a prominent figure on the Hallmark Channel, starring as Abigail Stanton in the hit period drama When Calls the Heart and leading the popular Garage Sale Mystery film franchise. However, her career faced a significant interruption in 2019 due to her involvement in the "Operation Varsity Blues" college admissions scandal, which led to a two-month federal prison sentence in 2020.
As of 2025, Loughlin has successfully navigated a professional comeback. She recently returned to the spotlight with a role in the Prime Video crime series On Call (2025) and made a highly anticipated return to the Hallmark Channel to reprise her role in When Calls the Heart. In her personal life, 2025 marked a significant turning point as she and her longtime husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, announced their separation after nearly 28 years of marriage. She continues to reside in Los Angeles and remains a recognizable figure in American pop culture.
