DoYouRemember?

30 years ago, as of June 11, Jurassic Park changed cinematic history. The movie, directed by Steven Spielberg, represented a major triumph in different filmmaking techniques and stands out as a thrilling book-to-film adaptation. For every memorable quote, there's an equally iconic frame, even without a single dinosaur in sight. Ariana Richards, a child actor who featured prominently in the first Jurassic Park, recreated her own memorable moment three decades later. Today 43, Richards was just 12 when she and her film brother, played by Joseph Mazzello, crossed the threshold into their grandpa's Jurassic Park. Things turned perilous fast and when the kids' safety seemed secured, the survivors realized danger was fast approaching thanks to a warning delivered in jello. As the movie turns 30, Richards recreated the moment and it's as effective as ever!

The top half of the clip shows the original footage of Richards' character Lex holding a spoonful of green jello; she pauses with the spoon halfway to her mouth as tremors send ripples through the dessert, a sign that a large, dangerous dino is nearby. The lower half of the clip shows the same thing - but this time, it's Richards today, as an adult, complete with jello of the same bright green color.

After that, she alternated between television and film, just slightly favoring TV shows. She had a cameo appearance in The Lost World: Jurassic Park in '97 but was noticeably absent from Jurassic World: Dominion, which featured returning stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. https://twitter.com/CritiReview/status/997904563821740032 However, that wasn't due to any resentment toward the series. Rather, Richards is dividing her work time between two fronts. Her latest acting credit was 2013's Battledogs. In the meantime, she's been focusing on her work as an artist. A winner of several Young Artist Awards, Richards made a self-portrait of her iconic Jurassic Park jello moment and that marked the start of her work as an artist. "During the filming of Jurassic Park I was inspired to create a watercolor that I did shortly thereafter, titled Raptor Vision," she reflected. She truly spared no expense! @jurassicworld #duet with @Jurassic World A duet 30 years in the making. #JurassicPark30 #Dinosaurs #JurassicPark ♬ original sound - Jurassic World
