Kids from the original ‘Jurassic Park’: Where are they now?

Richards is known to embrace nostalgia from the original Jurassic Park film series. For the film’s 30th anniversary in 1993, she even recreated her iconic Jell-O scene from the film.

In the scene, Lex does her best not to make any sudden movements after realizing the Velociraptors are closing in – causing the gelatin spoon in her hand to shake frantically as the camera zooms in on her terrified face.

In the video, the actress recreated the scene with a silver spoon and green jelly, perfectly mimicking her younger self as the treat shook in her hand. The video is titled, “A Duet 30 Years in the Making.”
