Jodie Sweetin, who first shot to fame as Stephanie Tanner on the beloved sitcom “Full House,” is opening up about her financial struggles over the years, particularly how close she came to running out of funds before returning to the show’s 2016 reboot, “Fuller House.”

“I had to borrow money the first week I was working on ‘Fuller House,’ and I [skittered] into my first paycheck with like $190 in my bank account,” Sweetin revealed on a recent episode of the “We’re Still Here, Babe” podcast. “And nobody that I worked with knew that.”
