Felicity Huffman's Transformation

Just a few years after attending her first acting camp, Felicity Huffman found herself doing a little bit of TV work after she got cast in the Emmy-winning teen anthology series "ABC Afterschool Specials." Over the years, the show has been known to feature several talents who go on to become Hollywood stars years later. Among the show's most famous alumni are Ben Affleck, Marisa Tomei, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rosanna Arquette, Mayim Bialik, Rob Lowe, Jodie Foster, and Cynthia Nixon.

As for Huffman, she starred in the episode "Home Run for Love," for which she is credited under her nickname as Flicka Huffman. Based on the book "Thank You, Jackie Robinson" by Barbara Cohen, the episode tells the story of a young white boy and an old Black man who form an unlikely friendship thanks to their love of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Jackie Robinson, the first African American to ever play Major League Baseball. Meanwhile, Huffman plays Sara Greene, who helps her family run a hotel. And while the actress doesn't get much screen time in the episode, her work on the show earned Huffman her Screen Actors Guild (SAG) card.
