So, where is Schuyler Fisk now?

As the daughter of Academy Award-winning actress Sissy Spacek and production designer Jack Fisk, Schuyler became acquainted with the life of the famous and successful at an early age. 

She landed her first serious role when she turned eight, playing Little Sara Lee in the 1990 comedy titled Daddy's Dyin'... Who's Got the Will? In the span of a few years, she managed to build a diverse acting portfolio with appearances in movies like Hard Promises or The Mommy Market.

Then came The Baby-Sitters Club — which changed Schuyler's career for good. Although the movie enjoyed relatively little success in the first week of its release, it did eventually attain a cultic status among viewers. 

As Kristy, Schuyler played a confident, goal-oriented young adolescent who can carry out grandiose plans and orchestrate ambitious projects involving her tightly-knit group of friends and beyond. 

The Baby-Sitters Club partially revolves around Kristy's attempts to grapple with the emotional scars resulting from her troubled relationship with her kind, but somewhat irresponsible, dad. Despite this, she eventually finds her feet and turns her latest project, a summer camp for young kids, into a success.
