Coogan had his fair share of supporting roles in the ’90s (most notably in Cousins and Toy Soldiers) and did some theater work as well, but his biggest claim to fame is as a stoner-teen-turned-chef beside Christina Applegate in Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead. Grandson of Jackie Coogan (Uncle Fester on the original Addams Family series), Keith Coogan played Brad, the other child, along with Brewton’s character, who Chris was forced to babysit, even though he had a serious crush on her. Keith Coogan - Brad Buena Vista Pictures/Getty Brewton graduated from Yale in 1998, works as a lawyer, and lives with her wife and two kids in Manhattan.

She, like her costar Shue, also had a role in the Back to the Future series as Sally Baines. Still best known as the Mighty-Thor obsessed kid, Maia Brewton’s career in Hollywood was steady in the ’80s and ’90s, landing roles on shows such as 21 Jump Street and The Wonder Years. Most recently, she co-starred in CSI from its 12th through its 15th season. Following that success, however, Shue’s blockbuster luck started to run out. Following that breakthrough, Shue had supporting roles in Cocktail, Back to the Future 2 and 3, Soapdish, and garnered BAFTA, Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for her lead role in Leaving Las Vegas. So, with that in mind, let’s see what these heavy hitters have been doing since their wild night on the streets of Chicago.Īfter playing the main love interest in 1984’s The Karate Kid, Elisabeth Shue would go on to win the lead as Chris, the babysitter in charge whose night to turns to mayhem in Adventures in Babysitting, hr first starring role. In the barren, post-1991 wasteland the world has been divided into two camps: those who prefer Adventures in Babysitting and those who think Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead is the one true babysitter movie (even though it doesn’t really have the much to do with the craft of babysitting.) We’re not here to settle that debate - not now - but in one area, the former reigns supreme: the cast of Adventures in Babysitting has seen more career success than the Don’t Tell Mom-ers, as is evidenced by their accumulated Golden Globe, Emmy, and Oscar nominations.
Once, we were awash in great films about babysitting, but no longer.
