Ariana 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."
