The Cast From My Girl Is All Grown Up, and We Haven't Sobbed This Hard Since Thomas J Died

Though we still blame My Girl for our bee phobia, there is no doubt that the 1991 film is an absolute gift. Centered around 11-year-old hypochondriac Vada and her funeral director father, My Girl (and its equally satisfying 1995 sequel) taught us important lessons about navigating teacher crushes, potential step-moms, and the untimely death of your best friend. Even 27 years after its debut, we still tell our partners to go away and not come back for the next five to seven days when we have our period. But what are Vada and crew up to these days? Read on to see how the Sultenfuss family has kept themselves busy over the past three decades.

Dan Aykroyd Now

The 66-year-old actor, comedian, musician, and filmmaker has certainly kept himself busy since his My Girl days. Though his reign as one of the original Saturday Night Live cast members ended back in '79, Aykroyd has since returned for a dozen guest appearances, the latest of which was in 2013. He also played an Episcopal priest in his own ABC sitcom, Soul Man, which ran for two seasons.

One of Aykroyd's biggest projects was taking on the role of one of the executive producers for the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot, in which he makes a cameo appearance, along with several other members of the original Ghostbusters cast. He continues to manage the House of Blues chain of music venues, which he cofounded, and the Crystal Head Vodka brand he created. Aykroyd is also still married to his wife of 35 years, Donna Dixon, with whom he shares three daughters.

Anna Chlumsky Now

Though Chlumsky appeared and starred in several television films and series in the mid to late 1990s, she took an acting hiatus to attend college at University of Chicago, where she graduated in 2002 a BA in International Studies. After working as a fact-checker and editorial assistant, Chlumsky decided she missed acting, and she went to the Atlantic Acting School in New York City to receive the formal training she'd never actually received before playing Vada.

Since then, Chlumsky — now 37 — has had roles in independent films, including Blood Car and In the Loop, and since 2012, she has portrayed Amy Brookheimer on the HBO series Veep, for which she has received five Emmy nominations for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series. Chlumsky has also brought her talent to Broadway, appearing in the plays You Can't Take It with You and Living on Love. She and her husband Shaun So, whom she met in college, have been married since 2008 and have two daughters together.

Original scream queen Curtis, now 59, hasn't limited herself to acting since My Girl. Besides earning acting credits for films True Lies, Freaky Friday, and You Again, as well as in the comedy horror show Scream Queens, Curtis has written ten children's books with illustrator Laura Cornell. She will also be reprising her iconic role of Laurie Strode in a Halloween sequel, which is set to be released later this year, 40 years after the premiere of John Carpenter's original Halloween.

As an outspoken Democrat, Curtis has stood behind several humanitarian and political causes, including her appearance with Martin Sheen and Brad Pitt in a performance of Dustin Lance Black's play 8, which reenacts the federal trial that overturned California's ban on same-sex marriage. Curtis has been married to actor Christopher Guest since 1984, and the couple has raised two adopted children together.

He also began a comedy rock band 2014 called The Pizza Underground. Culkin is set to appear in Changeland, an upcoming comedy-drama film written and directed by Seth Green.
