From "Halloweentown" to "Smart House," the DCOM Originals were at their peak in the mid 2000's. One of our favorites was "Read it and Weep." The 2006 movie told the story of Jamie Bartlett, played by Kay Panabaker, who finds herself in a bit of a sticky situation as her private journal about the musings of high school, gets published into a book. Is, played by her older sister Danielle Panabaker, is her alter ego, and main character in her journal.

Check out the trailer below for a bit of a refresher.

You probably recognize the older sis from the CW's "The Flash," but what in the world has Kay Panabaker been up to?! Lucky for you, we did a bit of a dig, and you'll never guess what she's up to now.

Today, I am grateful. Sure, I had to go back to the grocery store twice because I didn't properly "adult" and make a grocery list (then there are no surprises!) But I have a job I love, a roof over my head, and a mind that keeps me cognizant of just how fortunate I am. So I'm grilling, having a beer, and just being happy of where I am and what I have today. Cheers, America.

After a bit of digging, Panabaker is...get ready for it, a zookeeper! That's right, Kay Panabaker decided that acting wasn't for her.

Perks of being a zookeeper at Disney? Doing trivia night after hours at the parks with my awesome coworkers :)

One fan asked her on Twitter why she drifted away form acting and her answer was the absolute best.

She also posted on Twitter about staring in "Read it and Weep" over Memorial Day Weekend when they showed all of their DCOM original movies!

BRB while we quit our jobs and become zookeepers!
