These lonely girls had to grow up without their mothers, so their Dads and friends were even more important to them. Mayim Bialik was Blossom, the whip-smart teenager with the quirky wardrobe and a love of dancing. Blossom managed to make her way through high school with the help of her charming dad and two brothers, including Joey 'Woah!' Lawrence. Jodie Sweetin was the middle daughter Stephanie Tanner on Full House, whose dad has asked his brother and best friend to move in after his wife died in a car crash. And Sarah Polley became a Canadian TV icon and hero to a generation of girls playing a motherless big city girl who was sent on the "Road of Avonlea" to live with her aunts.
