Catherine Hicks — who played Camden family matriarch Annie — was active in both film and TV when she joined 7th Heaven in 1996, and had been nominated for a Primetime Emmy for her performance as Marilyn Monroe in the 1980 TV movie Marilyn: The Untold Story.

Since then, she has worked largely in TV films like A Christmas Reunion (2015) and Honeymoon From Hell (2016), and has lent her voice to the series Coming to the Stage and JJ Villard's Fairy Tales.

Hicks is married to special effects makeup artist Kevin Yaeger, whom she met in 1988 on the set of Child's Play.

Jessica Biel played Mary, the black sheep of the Camden family. Since 7th Heaven, she has had one of the most prolific careers of the main cast, primarily in film.

However, Biel returned to the small screen and landed leading roles on The Sinner (for which she was nominated for an Emmy), Limetown, and Candy. She also married Justin Timberlake in 2012 — you may have heard about that.

Before playing Protestant minister and Camden family patriarch Eric on 7th Heaven, Stephen Collins had an impressive résumé that included roles in films like All the President's Men (1976) and Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). 

After the show wrapped, Collins continued to act on the small screen with appearances on Private Practice, No Ordinary Family, Devious Maids, and Revolution.

But it was his personal life that overshadowed his career when, in 2014, Collins admitted to sexually abusing three underage women. He later released a public apology, stating: "I deeply regret the mistakes I've made and any pain I have caused these three women. I admit to, apologize for, and take responsibility for what I did."
