Justine Bateman, at age 41, has come a long way since we welcomed her into our homes from 1982-1989 as Mallory Keaton. The child actress was back on NBC Today Show this morning for a Family Ties reunion piece with her fellow cast mates. Joining her were Michael J. Fox, Meredith Baxter-Birney, Michael Gross and Tina Yothers.

Bateman struggled with anorexia, bulimia and compulsive overeating during the series run. She turned to a 12-step program to get control of her life. Bateman is married to Mark Fluent and has two children, Duke and Olivia.

Bateman made a brief television comeback in 1996-1997 with the NBC show Men Behaving Badly. She has since left acting and has started her own fashion company Justine Bateman Designs, housed in a TriBeCa loft in NYC. She also serves on the National Board of Directors of the Screen Actors Guild.

The creator of Family Ties, Gary David Goldberg recently wrote a book called Sit Ubu Sit. This was the famous ending tag line that closed each show. The NBC reunion was the first time the entire group had been together in 18 years. Check out pictures and a video from the Today Show - right after the jump.
