Candace Cameron Bure is an actress, producer, author, and talk show panelist. She is best known for her role as D.J. Tanner on “Full House” and its subsequent spinoff, “Fuller House”. Bure has also played significant roles in numerous Hallmark Channel original productions, including the “Aurora Teagarden” series and the special “Christmas in America,” which she also produced.
After Full House ended in 1995, Bure took a self-imposed hiatus from television and film to devote time to her family and children. Still running in over 100 countries in syndication, Bure will forever be part of TV history through “Nick At Nite” and “ABC Family” network lineups. Bure returned to the television scene in 2014 as a contestant on season 18 of Dancing with the Stars, finishing in third place.
Bure reprised her role as D.J. Tanner in the 2016 Netflix spinoff Fuller House, her character now going by D.J. Tanner-Fuller. Bure also became a co-host of The View, starting with season 19, but left after two seasons due to commitments with Fuller House and Hallmark Channel projects.
In 2019, Bure produced a one-hour Hallmark Christmas special called “Christmas in America”. The special features people all over America as they celebrate, take part in outdoor festivals, Christmas light festivities, and more. She further expanded her portfolio in 2022 by assuming the role of chief content officer of Great American Media, focusing on promoting faith programming and good family entertainment.
Bure has written several books including “Reshaping It All: Motivation for Physical and Spiritual Fitness,” which was a New York Times bestseller; “Balancing It All: My Story of Juggling Priorities and Purpose”; “Dancing Through Life: Steps of Courage and Conviction”; “Staying Stylish: Cultivating a Confident Look, Style, and Attitude”; and “Kind is the New Classy: The Power of Living Graciously”.
