Ostrum is no longer involved in acting. He is a successful veterinarian in Lowville, New York, having received his degree from Cornell University.
The only one of the child actors of the film to continue performing, she has since appeared in a number of British television soaps and mini-series - gaining some brief notoriety for a nude scene as Rowella in the BBC's Poldark II, which was shown well before the traditional 9 p.m. adult viewing time.
Her other work includes theatre and pantomime, as well as considerable voice-over work, for which her mellifluous tones are particularly well suited.
A qualified fitness instructor since 1998, she appears in the 2005 ITV series Fat Families as fitness advisor to one of the fat families.
She appeared in Emmerdale in 2006.

Later on, Nickerson was a member of the Short Circus musical troupe in The Electric Company, an educational TV program for children. She also guest starred as a girlfriend of Peter Brady on The Brady Bunch.
Nickerson appeared in other shows and stage productions, before retiring from acting in her early twenties to be married.

This would be neat to see where they are now. I loved the bossy girl, she cracked me up.
