The Cast Of "A Little Princess" Are All Grown Up, But Where Have They Gone Since Leaving NYC?

Twenty-two years ago, Alfonso Cuaron and Mark Johnson gave us one of the best movies of our childhood, A Little Princess. Even today, re-watching the film instantly brings back a ton of nostalgia, and makes us feel like kids again.

Based on the novel of the same name, the 1995 film follows a a young girl named Sara trying to adjust to her new life in a New York City boarding school after receiving news that her father had died while fighting in the First World War.

The movie taught us some life lessons and delivered a strong message that all girls, regardless of status and wealth, can be princesses.

After all these years, we can't help but wonder what happened to the actors who brought our favorite characters to life. So let's see what they've been up to since 1995.

Eleanor Bron - Miss Minchin

Bron was already a seasoned actress before taking on the role of the headmistress in the film. She appeared in a handful of movies after A Little Princess, and published several books. If you're ever in The Great Britain, pay attention to the error message voice on your phone, it's Bron's.

Vanessa Chester - Becky

After starring in A Little Princess, Chester was cast as Kelly in a lead role in The Lost World: Jurassic Park as well as Harriet The Spy. She also appeared in Malcolm in the Middle, Veronica Mars, How I Met Your Mother, and more recently in a web series titled City Girl.

She also appeared in "Weird Al" Yankovic's video for "Bedrock Anthem," before portraying Ermengarde. DeLoach was only able to book a few more acting gigs before jobs dried up.

After playing the tantrum-throwing little diva at Miss Minchin's School for Girls, Mulroney only managed to score a few more roles. She hasn't had acting roles since growing up, and according to her Facebook page, she appeared to have been working as a bartender.

But what has Sara and the captain been up to since?

NFL in the 90s. The Golden Years of FootballIf you can cast your mind back to what the NFL was like in the 90’s, you can perhaps remember some of the great teams and players of the time, not to mention some of the important milestones as well. Maybe you remember the Dallas Cowboys winning three Super Bowls in four years or when the Denver Broncos won a perfect season in 1998. Of course, there are plenty of memorable player moments too. Like when Dan Marino won the title of the best all-time passing leader. Or when Jerry Rice

Brace Yourself: The Backstreet Boys Released A New Song And Are Going On A World Tour

The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen. But anyways, they've been putting out music and performing together for 25 years now, and they have no intention of stopping. To be fair, they did warn of this two decades ago. They

If there was one product that you had to pick that would best represent what it was like to be a preteen in the 90s, I think a lot of us girls would agree that Lip Smackers would be the best choice. These little tubes of oftentimes glittered, scented, colorful lip-balm made us all feel like the fanciest of ladies, totally ready to grab our purses and do whatever it is that our moms did when they weren't paying attention to us. You had so many different choices too. You'd have a classic berry scented red Lip Smacker, you'd have

Die Hard's Reginald VelJohnson Reveals How Al Powell Got Him Cast On Family Matters

Watching Die Hard is like watching a little piece of history. It truly has remained one of the greatest movies of all time no matter how much time passes. Maybe we didn't know how special it was when we first saw it, but as the decades go on, it has become clear that it's a true classic that is basically required viewing for every single person. Everyone obviously thinks of Bruce Willis when they think about Die Hard, which makes sense because he embodies John McClane in a way that makes him feel real, but he's not the only iconic

Trailer For New Nickelodeon Documentary Has Your 90s Favorites Spilling All The Secrets

Nickelodeon wasn't just a television network, it was basically a generation. Kids all over the country were bonded in this weird little family, obsessing over shows that our parents just couldn't possibly understand. They were for us. They weren't made to appeal to our parents, they were made for our enjoyment and so we felt a special connection to them unlike any other shows. Nickelodeon is still going strong today, but it's hard to remember that there was a time before the iconic kids network came around. The company may be a juggernaut now, but how did it get started?

Reptar Bars Are Back And They Are The "Superist" And The "Duperist" Versions Yet

Everyone remembers watching Rugrats as a kid, right? It was only the best kids' show ever. Those "dumb babies" as Angelica Pickles would say were a lot more clever than they let on, and in their many adventures they inspired us kids to believe that we could do anything. I mean, we don't have to question how or why a baby keeps a screwdriver in his diaper, because the logistics of where he got it or how he keeps it in there without hurting himself is beyond me, but that's not what matters here. What does matter is that these
