The Current Endeavors of the Little Giants Stars
Fact: Icebox is one of the most underrated female characters from the ’90s.
Maldron played tomboy Becky (but call her Icebox, obviously!), whose dad starts the Giants after her Uncle Kevin won’t let her play on the Cowboys because she’s a girl…even though she’s one of the best players.
“I think the message was really strong with little girls,” Maldron told ESPN in 2019. “It really means a lot to me when I hear things from people that affected them.”
After winning the big game (and landing the guy), the actress’ next high-profile role was playing Michael Douglas‘ daughter in the movie The American President before she went on to star on the TV series Ladies Man.
Since then, Maldron starred in 2008’s Poison Ivy: The Secret Society and appeared in several horror films, though she’s still known for her turn as Ice Box.
“I thought it would fade into obscurity,” she admitted to ESPN, “but it just kind of stuck around.”
