Sarah Rowland Doroff came to the limelight as an actress after appearing in Three Fugitives. Her stellar performance struck a chord with moviemakers and soon enough, she was given roles in H.E.L.P and Law & Order.
Just as suddenly as she made her movie presence known and while expectations were high to see her in more movie roles, Doroff disappeared from the big screen. Ever since only speculations are made as to the child actress’s whereabouts.
Who Is Sarah Rowland Doroff?
She is another breakout child actress that took the screen with the role in Three Fugitives in 1989. Sarah was born in 1983 but other details about her personal life have remained concealed. Moreso, she had a brief acting stint when she was a child after which she disappeared from public life.
The 40 year-old may live quietly and away from the cameras, yet, since the year of her birth in 1983, many events have happened in the industry.
Notably, one of Hollywood’s all-time sought-after movies, Starwars: Episode IV Return of the Jedi was released that year. The episode coincided with President Ronald Reagan’s plan to develop missile technology against enemies. That plan though a proposal in the face of external aggression was later tagged Star Wars.
How She Became So Popular
The child actress may not be remembered by members of Generation Z and Generation Alpha due to her long absence from movies. Yet for the keen mind, Doroff has worked alongside actors like James Earl Jones and Nick Nolte in her breakout role in Three Fugitives.
Not only was the movie a milestone, but it also announced her screen arrival with established acts at the age of 6. The plot pushes Sarah to the center stage of the movie since her sick character is the major influence on her dad’s crime of bank robbery.
Though Doroff was only a child at the time, it does not go unnoticed that her ‘little’ self is placed side by side with the ‘tough guy’ Nicke Holte. His role is that of an ex-convict charged with 14 bank robberies that finds himself in another man’s robbery the day he comes out of prison.
Nick Nolte went on to enjoy a long successful career that earned him many awards and recognition. He won a golden globe award in 1992 for his role in The Prince of Tides.

Where Is Sarah Rowland Doroff Now?
As of this writing, Sarah Doroff is still alive. Yet career-wise, she has managed to stay away from the camera lights. In fact, according to IMDB, her last credited work was in Law & Order(1990).
Notwithstanding, there are many reports pertaining to what she is up to nowadays. One such report is her change of career from the entertainment industry to retail. As per this source, the Three Fugitives Actress now works at an outfit called Planet Kydz, the outfit sells children’s clothes.
Another source links her to being a fashion agent for a design and entertainment outfit based in New York City. Of all these pedaled rumors, Sarah prefers having a quiet life away from the public.
Moreso, It is uncertain why the 90s child actress will take a drastic turn from acting. Yet, her case is no different from that of actors like Shirley Temple who left acting and became successful in other careers. In Shirley’s case, she retired at the age of 22, unlike Sarah who only has only three credited works. Notably, Temple achieved great success as a politician just as she did acting. So it is not far-fetched to think of Sarah Rowland Doroff pursuing her dreams too.
