LazyTown’s Pink-Haired Stephanie Went From Inspiring Kids On TV To Helping Them In Real Life

Plenty of child actors have dropped off the map and chosen to live quiet, normal lives away from Hollywood. One of the most unforgettable is Julianna Rose Mauriello — the pink-haired lead who ruled 2000s kids’ television as Stephanie on LazyTown. As soon as she disappeared from the screen, wild internet rumors and baseless speculation started spreading to fill the silence. But the truth behind her vanishing act is far better than any gossip. Today, she’s still changing young lives for the better, but has traded red carpets and screaming fans for a fulfilling career away from the cameras.
