Where Is the Original ‘Hand That Rocks the Cradle’ Cast Now?

A new remake of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle premieres on Hulu on October 22, 2025, reviving the story of a nanny with a big secret and terrifying intentions for the family she works for — which might leave you wondering what happened to the cast of the original film.

Directed by Curtis Hanson (who later won an Academy Award for his work on L.A. Confidential), the movie followed a grieving widow who takes a nanny job as part of a twisted plan for revenge.
