DJ Tanner on the One-Two's....

Tomorrow marks a very special birthday in America. It is Candace Cameron's 34th birthday.  We all know Candace best from her role as "DJ Tanner" on TV's Full House.  Candace has had quite the life.

Candace grew up in a large family.  She was the oldest of 3 sisters, and after her mother passed away, her uncle Jesse and her father's college buddy, Joey, moved in to their San Francisco home to help take care of the girls.  Candace also has an older brother, Kirk Cameron.  You may remember Kirk as Mike Seaver from TV's Growing Pains.

When Candace was growing up, she had her ups and downs.  After becoming obsessed with looking like a model and keeping up with her best friend Kimmy, DJ developed an eating disorder.  She was also involved in a scandalous love triangle with rich-boy Nelson and bad-boy Viper.  It was only while cleaning up a recently vandalized park where she realized that she needed time to sort things out, by herself. 

Candace also dated the perpetually-hungry jock, Steve. Candace and Steve broke up after a long relationship and he got a job portraying Aladdin in Walt Disney World.  Candace was crushed, but after climbing a mountain she finally saw the light.

Candace often battled herself and her actions showed her 2 conflicting sides.  One minute she'll be working as a clown for a photographer to save up money for cool new tennis shoes and the next she'll be transforming an "F" grade on her exam to an "A" in order to trick her hard-working father.

Despite failing that one exam, DJ was able to take the SAT's, which were actually proctored by Vanna White and after an intense waiting period, got accepted to Clown University.

So where is Candace Cameron now?  Who knows.  Last I heard, her younger sister got amnesia after falling off her horse.  Her name lives on however, as my DJ name.

P.S. She's SOOOOOOO jealous of Kathy Santoni, the cutest girl in school.
