Candace Cameron is an American actress best known for
playing Donna Jo "D.J." Margaret Tanner on the television
show Full House. She is also the younger sister of actor
Kirk Cameron. She is married to former Russian ice hockey
player Valeri Bure (brother of Pavel Bure).
Candace Cameron was born in Panorama City, California, to

footsteps of her older brother, Kirk Cameron, she decided to
pursue acting herself. She started in the entertainment

the majority of their time in the Fort Lauderdale suburb of

In 2006, as a reflection of her evangelical faith, she
