Jennifer Grey – Jeannie Bueller
You hardly need us to tell you that Jennifer Grey followed up her supporting part as Ferris’s annoying sister with her starring role in Dirty Dancing the following year, right?
Her lack of subsequent major roles has famously been blamed on her nose job, although she has kept working ever since, showing up in Friends and winning Dancing with the Stars in 2010 and most recently starring in the Amazon original series Red Oaks.
Lyman Ward – Tom Bueller
The actor who played Ferris’s dad has had a strange mix of roles since, including three different Murder She Wrote characters, a nameless secret service agent in Independence Day and a role in the pilot of Beverly Hills 90210 which was recast for the full series.
He has had the best luck with further teen films, showing up in The Faculty and as a pastiche of Tom Bueller in Not Another Teen Movie. He was also married to his on-screen Ferris Bueller wife Cindy Pickett for six years.
Cindy Pickett – Katie Bueller
Cindy Pickett followed up her turn as Ferris’s mom with a three-year stint on the cult TV series St Elsewhere.
She cornered the market in crime drama guest appearances, showing up in NYPD Blue, Without a Trace, CSI: Miami and Cold Case, as well as following her ex-husband Lyman Ward into a role in an episode of Murder She Wrote. She’s still working and will appear in the vampire TV show Age of the Living Dead in 2017.
