Early life

Noble was born Nancy Mueller in Cheektowaga, New York, to Irene and Fred Mueller.[1]

Career

Noble appeared in a 1997 episode of Seinfeld entitled "The English Patient". She co-starred as Hattie Durham in the Left Behind trilogy with her husband Kirk Cameron.[1] Prior to the "Left Behind" movies Chelsea and Kirk co-starred in A Little Piece of Heaven (film) with Cloris Leachman. She also had several uncredited cameos in films starring Cameron as a "kissing double." Kirk Cameron refused to kiss any woman who was not his wife, so for romantic scenes the actress playing his love interest would be replaced by Noble in an appropriate costume and filmed from a distance or behind.[2] This can be seen in the fire station scene of Fireproof.

In 2014, she co-starred with her husband in the independent movie Mercy Rule, playing a married couple with two children. Although not the first movie in which they have played husband and wife (having done so in two Growing Pains TV movies), this is the first time she has been credited as Chelsea Cameron.[3]

Personal life

Noble met Kirk Cameron when he was visiting his little sister Candace on the set of Full House. They later co-starred on Growing Pains together.[4] The couple married on July 21, 1991 in Cheektowaga, New York,[5] and have six children.[6]

Noble and her husband are born-again Christians. They founded The Firefly Foundation, which runs Camp Firefly, a summer camp that gives terminally ill children and their families a week's free vacation.[7]
