Melissa Francis only had three acting credits to her name after the 1980s. She appeared in an episode of Hardball in 1990, and had small roles in the 2009 film Race to Witch Mountain and the 2012 film The Dictator. Leaving her child acting days behind, Melissa went to Harvard University to study economics and became executive editor of The Harvard College Economist magazine and captain of the Harvard Polo Team. She later turned her screen experience to television journalism, becoming the primary weekday anchor for FNC’s America’s News HQ. Melissa also published a book in 2012 called Diary of a Stage Mother’s Daughter: A Memoir.
