Chelsea Noble

Chelsea Cameron (née Noble; born Nancy Mueller; December 4, 1964^[1]) is an American actress known for her role as Kate McDonnell on the ABC television sitcom Growing Pains (1989–1992).

Noble is married to her former Growing Pains co-star, Kirk Cameron. She is also the sister-in-law of former Full House star, Candace Cameron Bure.

In 1988, Noble appeared on Full House while she was dating series star, John Stamos.^[2][3] She also appeared on several episodes of Days of Our Lives. She co-starred on Growing Pains and Kirk with Kirk Cameron.

Noble appeared in a 1997 episode of Seinfeld titled "The English Patient". She co-starred as Hattie Durham in the Left Behind trilogies with her husband Cameron. Prior to the Left Behind movies, Noble and Cameron co-starred in A Little Piece of Heaven with Cloris Leachman.^[4][5]

Noble has had several uncredited cameos in films starring Cameron as a "kissing double". Because Cameron refused to kiss any woman who was not his wife, so for romantic scenes, the actress playing his love interest would be replaced by Noble in an appropriate costume and filmed from a distance or behind.^[6] This can be seen in the fire station scene of Fireproof.

In 2014, she co-starred with her husband in the independent movie Mercy Rule, playing a married couple with two children. Although not the first movie in which they have played husband and wife (having done so in Growing Pains), this is the first time Noble has been credited as Chelsea Cameron.^[7]

Noble met Kirk Cameron when he was visiting his sister Candace on the set of Full House. They later co-starred on Growing Pains together.^[8] The couple got married on July 21, 1991, in Cheektowaga, New York,^[9] and have six children — four adopted and two biological.^[10] The Camerons are both Christians. They founded The Firefly Foundation, which runs Camp Firefly.^[6][11]
