READING, Pa. — Standing onstage at the historical theater in southeastern Pennsylvania, actress Candace Cameron Bure reminisced about the time that she thought her career was over.
In retrospect, she had nothing to worry about. Bure, who shot to fame in the ABC sitcom “Full House,” has had one of the longest-running stints in Hollywood among her 1980s child star peers. Now in her 45th year in show business, she remains a pop culture mainstay, the kind of celebrity who can make headlines by uttering a single quote on her podcast and is inundated with invitations to appear on reality shows. And it’s all anchored by a fierce “Full House” nostalgia, which remains strong — boosted by a Netflix reboot — after four decades.
