Who is Staci Keanan?
Anastasia Love Sagorsky was born on 6 June 1975, in Devon, Pennsylvania, USA, of part Slavic descent, and is an attorney as well as a former actress, best known for her role in the NBC sitcom entitled “My Two Dads” in which she played the character Nicole Bradford from 1987 to 1990. She also starred in the sitcom “Step by Step” as Dana Foster.
The Net Worth of Staci Keanan
How rich is Staci Keanan? As of mid-2019, sources estimate a net worth that is over $1 million, earned mostly through a successful career as an actress. She later transitioned to a career in law, which has helped in continuing to elevate her wealth. As she continues her endeavors, it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase.
Early Life and Career Beginnings
Staci grew up in Devon near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where her father worked as a car salesman. She grew up with a sister, and at the age of just five, began a career as a commercial model, on television, radio, and in print advertisements. She voiced television commercials for My Little Pony while also appearing in ads for Hershey’s Kisses and Burger King.
She then moved to New York City with her mother and sister, appearing in summer stock productions under the name Staci Love. In 1987, she made her television debut in the miniseries entitled “I’ll Take Manhattan”, based on the Judith Krantz novel of the same name, telling the story of the wealthy Amberville Company after the patriarch of the family dies. The rest of the family then battle to try and take control of their father’s company. The program was highly successful, and took one of the highest television ratings of the year.
Acting Prominence
When Keanan was 12 years old, her family decided to move to Los Angeles, one of the reasons was so that she could be closer to the acting industry. This eventually led her to one of the biggest roles of her career in “My Two Dads”, the sitcom starring Paul Reiser and Greg Evigan, which ran for a total of three years. After that, she worked on the short-lived series entitled “Going Places’ which starred Heather Locklear and Alan Ruck and aired on the ABC, while it also aired in Germany, under the name “Zwischen Couch und Kamera”.
In 1991 she gained her next project entitled “Step by Step” – during this time, she had changed her on screen name from Stacy to Staci, and Keanan. The show ran from 1991 to 1997, starring Patrick Duffy and Suzanne Somers. Each of them has three children and they spontaneously marry during a Jamaican vacation, resulting in them becoming the heads of a large blended family. After the show, Staci became less active as she focused on completing her education, but still had small roles in a few independent projects over the next few years, including in “Stolen Poem” and “Hidden Secrets”.
Later Career
Other projects Staci had as her career came to a close include “Death and Cremation”, and a cameo role in “You Again”, appearing alongside cast members of “Step by Step”. She also had a role in “Holyman Undercover” and “Sarah’s Choice”.
She moved slowly away from an acting career, as she furthered her studies, completing an undergraduate degree in the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and after graduating, enrolled at the Southwestern Law School to complete a law degree.

Southwestern is an ABA-accredited law school located in Los Angeles, having over 800 students each semester. The school is known for its landmark, an art deco National Register of Historic Places built in 1929. It is an independent law school, approved by the American Bar Association in 1970, and has no association to any undergraduate university. Staci was subsequently admitted to the State Bar of California in 2013. She practices law in the Los Angeles area under her given name Anastasia Sagorsky. Since beginning her law career, she has stopped all acting endeavors.
Personal Life and Social Media
For her personal life, it is known that Keanan married actor and producer Guy Birtwhistle in 2017. He is known for his work in projects such as “First Landing”, “Night Music”, and “Alistair1918”. She loves animals, and used to own a pet cat and dog.
One of the reasons why there is very little information about her is due to the lack of any active social media accounts. There are no accounts under the name Staci Keanan on any of the major social media websites. She created a personal Facebook account in 2015 under the name Anastasia Sagorsky, but it has revealed little, only showcasing photos of her sometime after completing her law degree. It is a personal account and it is likely set to private with only a few posts revealed to the public. There are also other accounts under her given name on websites such as Twitter and Instagram, but they are fan accounts that don’t have anything to do with her. One account is inactive while the other posts content not related to her in any way. She prefers to keep her life out of the spotlight, as evident from the lack of new information about her.
