Christine Helen Lakin (born January 25, 1979 in Dallas, Texas) is an American actress. She is best known for her role as Alicia "Al" Lambert on the 1990s ABC situation comedy, "Step by Step." Lakin got her start in commercials, before landing her first major role as Young Rose in the American Civil War drama, "The Rose and the Jackal." That movie aired in 1990, one year before she was cast as Al Lambert, the tomboyish daughter, on "Step by Step." In later seasons, many male viewers were attracted to the program because of how attractive Lakin had become. After "Step by Step" was cancelled in 1998 (due to low ratings), she continued to appear in made-for-TV movies, and has several new films either in production or post-production. She is a 2003 graduate of UCLA, where she earned a degree in communications.
