An actress who starred on a wholesome 90s series was spotted out in LA during a rare sighting.
This 73-year-old played the mother of future superstar Jessica Biel on the hit show 7th Heaven from 1996 to 2007.
While that character may be what she is best known for, she has numerous other notable roles under her belt - including playing the lead in the iconic 1988 slasher film Child's Play.
She is also an Emmy-nominated actress, having received a nod for portraying Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe in the 1980 television film Marilyn: The Untold Story.
While she's appeared in numerous other films since her 7th Heaven days, she appears to have overall kept a low-profile.
Can YOU guess who this actress is?
An actress who starred in a beloved 90s family series was seen on a rare sighting
The star was spotted on a stroll in Los Angeles on Monday
It's Catherine Hicks!
Hicks played Annie Camden, a mother of seven in the hit 90s series 7th Heaven.
She kept it casual for a stroll through a neighborhood in Los Angeles on Monday.
She sported a grey crewneck sweatshirt, patterned trousers, and slip on sneakers.
The star appeared to be joined by someone else for the outing.
It's been 20 years since Catherine famously portrayed family matriarch Annie on 7th Heaven.
The cast included slew of actors who catapulted to fame after the show, including Jessica Biel as one of Annie's daughters and Ashlee Simpson, whose character was dating one of the Camden sons.Â
The show ran for 11 seasons, airing from 1996 to 2007 and winning two ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards over the years, in addition to two trophies from the Family Television Awards.
It was also nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Art Direction for a Series in 1997.Â
Years after the show ended, lead actor Stephen Collins - who played Catherine's on-screen husband and father of their seven children, the virtuous Rev. Eric Camden -faced controversy when he landed in a sexual abuse scandal.Â
In 2014, Collins admitted to sexual conduct with minors, confessing he did 'something terribly wrong' when he inappropriately touched one girl and exposed himself to two others between 1973 and 1994.Â
Her outfit also consisted of a pair of slip-on sneakers

While Hicks previously expressed interest in redoing a 7th Heaven reboot, she recently said she no longer had any interest
She starred opposite the disgraced Stephen Collins, who played family patriarch Eric Camden
Catherine said two years after the scandal broke that she would love to do a remake of the series - yet added Stephen's character would have to be killed off.Â
'I don't know. I mean, we'd have to open with Stephen's coffin,' the actress candidly of her former on-screen husband.Â
After her remark, Catherine flashed a coy smile and replied: 'No, no, but I mean, it's all up to networks and those type of things.'
'Maybe 6th Heaven,' she joked, presumably referencing back to her dismissal of Stephen's character, despite seven being the number of children the couple had on the hit series.
She later said in 2023 that she wasn't interested in returning.

'The kids grew up, and Stephen's gone, and, no, no, you let it go,' Hicks told TMZ. 'And I don't act anymore. I don't have the tears in me. They're gone.
'Because I was playing a homemaker, I wasn't there for my real daughter, but now I'm home for my real daughter,' Hicks added.
'Because she never got me then when she was little. So, it's really fulfilling.
Last year Hicks reunited with her 7th Heaven co-stars Barry Watson, Mitchell, David Gallagher, Mackenzie Rosman at 90s Con, where they shared behind-the-scenes stories from the show.
Hicks delivered the real zinger of the panel when she revealed that Mitchell, 44, and Biel, had crushes on Watson, 50.
'Jessie and Beverley had such a crush on him,' Hicks revealed. 'They were, like, so in love with him. [Beverley] was 15 and Jessie was 14.' Barry was in his twenties.
Since 7th Heaven, she's landed numerous other roles, most recently lending her voice to the 2020 TV series, JJ Villard's Fairy Tales
