Chelsea Noble

Chelsea Cameron (née Noble; born Nancy Mueller; December 4, 1964 ) is an American actress known for her role as Kate McDonnell on the ABC television sitcom Growing Pains (1989–1992).

Noble is married to her former Growing Pains co-star, Kirk Cameron.

Career In 1988, Noble made her acting debut, appearing on Full House where she met and started dating series star, John Stamos. She also appeared on several episodes of Days of Our Lives. She co-starred on Growing Pains as Kate McDonnell and Kirk as Elizabeth Waters with Kirk Cameron.

Noble appears in the 1997 Seinfeld episode, "The English Patient". She co-starred as Hattie Durham in the Left Behind trilogies with Cameron. Prior to those trilogies, Noble and Cameron co-starred in A Little Piece of Heaven with Cloris Leachman.

Noble has had several uncredited cameos in films starring Cameron as a "kissing double". Cameron refused to kiss any woman who was not his wife, so for romantic scenes, the actress playing his love interest was replaced by Noble in an appropriate costume and filmed from a distance or behind. This can be seen in the fire station scene in the 2008 movie, Fireproof. In 2014, she co-starred with her husband in the independent movie Mercy Rule, playing a married couple with two children. Although not the first movie in which they have played husband and wife (having done so in Growing Pains), this is the first time Noble has been credited as Chelsea Cameron.

Personal life Noble met Kirk Cameron on the set of the TV series Full House when he was visiting his sister Candace Cameron Bure who was one of the stars of the series. Noble and Kirk later co-starred on Growing Pains together. The couple married on July 21, 1991, at Our Lady Help of Christians Chapel in Cheektowaga, New York, and have six children — four adopted and two biological. The Camerons are both devout evangelical Christians.
