It's The Secret World of Alex Mack alum Natanya Ross, who admitted via Instagram story on Sunday: 'I've always been very honest about the work I've had done over the years, and the maintenance and upkeep of it all.'
The 5-foot-3 redhead first found fame after scoring a recurring role as surly goth teenager Robyn Russo on the Nickelodeon sitcom, which aired for four seasons spanning 1994-1998.
Ross went on to appear in ABC's remake of Freaky Friday (1995) as well as feature films like Little Monsters (1989), The Baby-Sitters Club (1995) and Bellyfruit (1999).
The New Jersey native also guest starred in TV shows like Step by Step, Boy Meets World, ER, The Faculty, Baywatch, Beverly Hills, 90210 and Boston Public.
'I battled a drug and alcohol addiction for the majority of my 20s,' Ross admitted to Voyage LA last year.
'Went to treatment for the final time at 30 years old which is what originally inspired me to start working in treatment.'
After becoming homeless on Skid Row, the flame-haired millennial got sober and spent 17 years 'working in the substance abuse and mental health space advocating for those suffering.'
Ross, who commands $54 on Cameo, remains the president of the board of directors for the Women's Association of Addiction (WAAT) to this day.
