Following the success of Now and Then, Thora Birch continued her budding acting career with starring roles in films like Alaska and American Beauty. Her role in Ghost World earned a Golden Globe nomination, while her work in the made-for-TV movie Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story earned her an Emmy nominee.
Birch's career is still going strong, with three films — The Etruscan Smile, Above Suspicion, and The Last Black Man in San Francisco — set to be released within the next two years.
