Lisa Jakub

Hello, my name is Lisa Jakub. But most people in a restaurant/dentist’s office/yoga studio dressing room, call me “Hey, you look like that girl from Mrs. Doubtfire/Independence Day/Rambling Rose.”

There is a good reason for that. I am that girl. More accurately, I was that girl. Or maybe I always will be her. 20 years later I’m still trying to work that part out.

My memoir is being published by Beaufort Books and will be available fall of 2015. It's about my unusual life as a child actor and how I made the unpopular choice to leave Hollywood, grow up and stop pretending.

I'll keep you posted on that, and any other interesting things I can come up with.
