Clare Carey Played Kelly on "Coach." See Her Now at 54.

The actor is still active in the entertainment business.

The sitcom Coach ran for nine seasons from 1989 to 1997, and while it was mostly about the coach of a college football team, Hayden Fox (Craig T. Nelson), it also featured storylines about his personal life, including his daughter Kelly Fox. Clare Carey played Kelly on Coach, and the character began the series as a college student reconnecting with her dad. The young actor remained on the sitcom through Season 7, though her role became less significant over the years.

But, Coach isn't Carey's only recognizable role. While she hasn't been acting in movies or TV as much in the past few years, she has been on other popular shows. Now, Carey lives a very private life, though she's still passionate about entertainment. Read on to learn more about the 54-year-old actor today.
