Career Prominence

Crewson then began to get more high profile roles, starting with the psychological thriller “The Good Son” alongside Elijah Wood and Macaulay Culkin, and in 1994 she was given a role in the film “The Santa Clause”, a Christmas family comedy starring Tim Allen as Scott Calvin, a man who causes Santa Clause to fall from his roof, and who then discovers that he must become the new Santa, and convince his loved ones of who he has become. Two years later she played the role of the mother of Eric Lloyd’s character in “To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday”, which tells the story of a family trying to come to terms with the death of their wife/mother.
