Richards Lex
Murphy
The
child actress who played the computer-hacking
granddaughter of Jurassic Park's founder
John Hammond still lives in L.A. But at 26,
Richards has given up the movie biz for now.
After high school, the budding painter headed
for Skidmore College to study fine art and
drama. Now flourishing as a portrait artist,
she sells her work in high-end California
galleries. "I've been swept up in this whole art thing," she says. "It
just took off like crazy." Like her Jurassic little brother,
Joseph Mazzello, she remains in touch with director Steven Spielberg. "He still
sends me a Christmas present every year," she says. "He's
very generous."
