For ages, media consumers have loved seeing where their favorite actors and actresses wind up years after making it 'big.' And it's especially common with child actors because it's always fun to see how their little faces have grown, especially when the child viewers themselves have grown up.
And films like 'Beethoven' and 'Beethoven's 2nd' propelled a cute little "Emily Newton" into the spotlight when she was still missing teeth. Now, the actress who played her is an adult, just like the fans of the films.
But really, the only thing fans know about Sarah Rose Karr these days is that she graduated college and now lives a very quiet life. Fans aren't content with knowing this little about Karr. The question is, why are they so obsessed?
Fans Miss Their Childhood Favorites
Most of the people wondering where Sarah Rose Karr is today are the now-adult viewers of movies like 'Beethoven' and 'Kindergarten Cop.' Both '90s films are memorable for different reasons (one had a huge dog, one had Arnold Schwarzenegger!), but both were hits with the younger set.
And that's the key: films and TV shows that were made for '80s and '90s babies hold a ton of nostalgia these days. Everyone wants to travel back in time, or even just live in the present with the same things they grew up with.
That explains why fans are kind of obsessive about celebrities from yesteryear. But why Sarah Rose Karr specifically?
Fans Say Sarah Karr Is Amazing At Anonymity
Various articles across the web speculate about what Sarah Rose Karr is doing now, but all of them have a single detail to share: the former actress is really good at keeping a low profile.
If she has any social media accounts, they're either under pseudonyms or they're private for friends and family only. And Karr isn't snapped by paparazzi or trailed be fans -- because no one knows what she looks like now.
Some media sources even report erroneous 'what Sarah Rose Karr looks like today' headlines with photographs of Nicholle Tom. But that, say fans, just proves how great Karr is at maintaining a "normal life."
Fans Want To Know What It Was Like To Meet Arnold
While 'Beethoven' may have been a bigger film for Karr -- it did involve a full-on franchise -- 'Kindergarten Cop' was arguably the more iconic movie. After all, it featured Arnold Schwarzenegger, and it also preceded the 'Beethoven' films.
And that connection to Arnold is what got Redditors thinking about who to invite on the platform for an AMA. One person requested "any of the children from Kindergarten cop."
Because they want to know what the child stars remember about the movie, and whether Arnold was nice in person.
Fans also hope to find out whether any of the kids in the movie are still friends today. But these are things they may never find out, at least not about Sarah. Since she's living life under the radar, it's highly unlikely that she'll ever jump on Reddit for an AMA.
That would mean revealing some details about her life, which she clearly isn't up for sharing. Most fans, while they're curious about Karr's life, are content to let her continue living her quiet life.
But many do admit to being "incredibly jealous they got to meet Arnold," which is relatable. Though they suggest that 'Kindergarten Cop' likely remains "just a special part of their lives" that they can remember fondly.
Where About The Other Kids From 'Kindergarten Cop'?
That one Reddit thread about the film got fans wondering where the rest of the kids -- apart from Sarah Rose Karr -- are today. One commenter even claimed to have chatted on AIM with one of the film's child actors. Obviously, that was back in the days of AOL, which clearly dates the interaction.
But the fan noted that the kid they chatted with, who seemed to be telling the truth, was "just your average boring kid."
Similar stories indicate that the twins from the film were similar; neither bragged about their time in the movie and at school, they didn't want to talk about the role.
In fact, one Redditor said that one of the twins denied being in 'Kindergarten Cop' at all; they said it was only their twin on screen.
Which makes fans think that none of the kids from that movie went on to be big actors or want to spend much time in the spotlight. They just hope acting was a good experience for the kids, and that they're still doing what makes them happy today, even if it's not a Hollywood career.
