A fresh-faced blonde ingenue, Mary Stuart Masterson made her screen debut at age eight playing the daughter of her real-life father, Peter Masterson, in "The Stepford Wives" (1975). Following her less than auspicious debut (her biggest line was "Daddy, I just saw a man carrying a naked lady"), she effectively stopped working to concentrate on her education, squeezing in only an occasional TV appearance (a 1986 Robert Zemeckis-directed segment of "Amazing Stories" and in the 1980 ABC movie "City of Fear"). By age 18, Masterson had decided to follow in her parents' stead and resumed her career, playing a cancer sufferer who beats the disease only to develop a drug habit and give birth to a drug-addicted baby in the soap opera-ish "Love Lives On" (ABC, 1985).
