Latter Career and Santa Clause
In 1994, Paige got her most notable and memorable role when she was cast in the family comedy film entitled “The Santa Clause”, in which she portrayed the character Judy the Elf. The film is the first in the series starring Tim Allen as a man who accidentally causes Santa Clause to fall from his roof. He helps Santa complete his deliveries, and realises that he must become the new Santa, trying to convince the people he loves that he has indeed become Clause. The film received generally positive reviews, and was a box office hit.
Following this appearance, she was involved in projects including “Untamed Love”, “Mad City”, and “Milo”. One of her last projects was a support role in an episode of “Ally McBeal” in 1999 – the series is a legal comedy drama which aired on Fox from 1997 to 2002. It follows the titular lawyer played by Calista Flockhart working in a fictional Boston law firm. She often engages with other lawyers whose lives are dramatic, eccentric, and humorous.
Personal Life and Social Media
For her personal life, not much is known of any of Tamada’s romantic relationships.
Following her stepping away from an acting career, not much information has been revealed about her, and media coverage surrounding her is scarce. No one has made an effort to track her down and discover her current endeavors. There are rumors going around that she later found a career in business, establishing herself as an executive for a retail company, however, this hasn’t been confirmed. There were two sequels following the success of “Santa Clause”, but she was no longer a part of the franchise then, with the films also declining in quality and popularity.
One of the reasons there is very limited information about her is due to the lack of any social media presence. She doesn’t have accounts on any of the major social media websites as she has decided to retain her privacy, no longer seeking the fame that once surrounded her youth. There are photos of her as an adult circulating, though taken years ago, so she may look different or it may not be her at all due to the lack of validation. It is not known if she is married or has started a family.
