Candace Cameron was born in Panorama City, California, to Robert Cameron and Barbara Bausmith. Following in the footsteps of her older brother, Kirk Cameron, she decided to pursue acting herself. She started in the entertainment business by participating in a number of television commercials.

In 1986, at 10 years of age, she got the call to audition for the role of D.J. Tanner on Full House. She impressed the studio executives and producers so much that they delayed taping the pilot to allow her to complete work on her other obligations. The show instantly became one of the most successful sitcoms of all time. Its eight-year run ranks it among the top series of all time.
