'thirtysomething': Then and Now

Mel Harris (Hope Steadman): Married to Michael Steadman, Hope was conflicted over her decision to be stay-at-home mom. Another recurring theme on the show was Michael and Hope's interfaith marriage – he was Jewish and she was Christian. Hope's best friend on the show was Ellyn Weston. Mel Harris is still a familiar face to TV viewers. She's had roles on "The West Wing," "Dawson's Creek," "House" and other series. (HO/ABC)
