Where Are They Now?
HOT GALLERY: The Stars of My Girl—Where Are They Now?
"Vada. I'm embalming my high school teacher. Don't sing." That line, from the trailer for My Girl (1991), was the first hint that this movie was destined to become a classic. My Girl belongs to the pre-grunge '90s, when sincerity was still more common than irony. Yes, the film was set in the summer of 1972. But now that we're in 2011, doesn't 1991 feel like a more innocent time? It's been 20 years since My Girl charmed us all into submission. Where have all the actors gone? Let's find out.

Dan Aykroyd—Now
After My Girl, Aykroyd continued his career as an actor and screenwriter, even stopping by his old stomping grounds on SNL every now and then. In 1992, he co-founded The House of Blues nightclub chain, and still hosts The House of Blues Radio Hour, in the guise of his Blues Brothers character Elwood Blues. Aykroyd most recently voiced the title role in Yogi Bear.
