An actress who starred on a wholesome 90s series was spotted out in LA during a rare sighting.

This 73-year-old played the mother of future superstar Jessica Biel on the hit show 7th Heaven from 1996 to 2007.

While renowned for her portrayal of a certain character, she has also taken on several other noteworthy roles, such as starring in the iconic 1988 horror movie Child’s Play.

Additionally, she is an Emmy-nominated actress, having earned recognition for her depiction of Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe in the 1980 TV film Marilyn: The Untold Story.

While she’s appeared in numerous other films since her 7th Heaven days, she appears to have overall kept a low-profile.

Can YOU guess who this actress is?

It’s Catherine Hicks!

Hicks played Annie Camden, a mother of seven in the hit 90s series 7th Heaven.

She kept it casual for a stroll through a neighborhood in Los Angeles on Monday.

She sported a grey crewneck sweatshirt, patterned trousers, and slip on sneakers.

The star appeared to be joined by someone else for the outing.

It’s been 20 years since Catherine famously portrayed family matriarch Annie on 7th Heaven.

The ensemble cast featured a number of actors who rose to prominence following the series, including Jessica Biel playing one of Annie’s daughters and Ashlee Simpson, whose character was in a relationship with one of the Camden sons.

The show ran for 11 seasons, airing from 1996 to 2007 and winning two ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards over the years, in addition to two trophies from the Family Television Awards.

It was also nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Art Direction for a Series in 1997. 

Years after the show ended, lead actor Stephen Collins – who played Catherine’s on-screen husband and father of their seven children, the virtuous Rev. Eric Camden -faced controversy when he landed in a sexual abuse scandal. 

In 2014, Collins admitted to sexual conduct with minors, confessing he did ‘something terribly wrong’ when he inappropriately touched one girl and exposed himself to two others between 1973 and 1994. 

Her outfit also consisted of a pair of slip-on sneakers

Catherine said two years after the scandal broke that she would love to do a remake of the series – yet added Stephen’s character would have to be killed off. 

‘I don’t know. I mean, we’d have to open with Stephen’s coffin,’ the actress candidly of her former on-screen husband. 

After her remark, Catherine flashed a coy smile and replied: ‘No, no, but I mean, it’s all up to networks and those type of things.’

‘Maybe 6th Heaven,’ she joked, presumably referencing back to her dismissal of Stephen’s character, despite seven being the number of children the couple had on the hit series.

She later said in 2023 that she wasn’t interested in returning.

‘The kids grew up, and Stephen’s gone, and, no, no, you let it go,’ Hicks told TMZ. ‘And I don’t act anymore. I don’t have the tears in me. They’re gone.

‘Because I was playing a homemaker, I wasn’t there for my real daughter, but now I’m home for my real daughter,’ Hicks added.

‘Because she never got me then when she was little. So, it’s really fulfilling.
