on the TV show "Family." And who could forget her per- formance
as the "bratty" but loveable daughter of Marsha Mason in
the original movie version of the "Goodbye Girl."
Family Life: Lives with Donald DiPietro and they have
a daughter, Anneke DiPietro, born June 2000.
Info: Quinn gave up acting in the 90's because she wasn't comfortable living her life in the public eye and the other
reason as Quinn puts it... ""nobody could conceive of
hiring me."
Trivia:

Howe; began appearing in TV commercials.
Worked as a casting agent in the 1980s
1977 Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nominee, at
age 10, for 'The Goodbye Girl.'

Where
is She Now:
Quinn briefly returned to acting in the
early 90's with a guest shot on Blossom as a waitress in a mall restaurant.
Quinn and her boyfriend have a daughter almost 6 years old.
Quinn's daughter's birth encouraged Quinn to become an
inventor and entrepreneur. And because of her daughter she
is the proud patented inventor of The Hiphugger Baby Sling
and is president of the Hiphugger company. Her company has
a corporate website (given below). Quinn still looks very
recognizable.
