Birth Name: TIFFANI-AMBER THIESSEN
Birth Date: JANUARY 23, 1974
Birth Place: LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA, USA
Height: 5' 5"
Tiffani-Amber Thiessen's father, Frank, was a park designer and her mother, Robyn, was a homemaker. Tiffani grew up in Long Beach with her parents and two brothers, Todd and Schuyler. Tiffani was 8 when her uncle convinced her to try modeling. Tiffani went on to win several beauty pageants. After hitting it big in 1987 at the age of 13 winning the Miss Junior America pageant, she turned to acting. The following year, she won Teen magazine's Great Model Search and, in 1989, she was made Cover Girl magazine's Model of the Year.
Tiffani got her break just two years later in 1989. She landed the role of Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell. This role of the squeaky clean popular cheerleader lasted 5 years.
After Saved by the Bell Tiffani was looking for a different kind of character. In 1994 a new Tiffani arrived on the scene. She had a whole new look including a shorter hairstyle and breast implants. Tiffani then landed the job of the sexy vixen, Valerie Malone on Beverly Hills, 90210. This time instead of the preppy, cheerful, cheerleader Tiffani played a blackmailing, corrupt vixen that knew what she wanted and would stop at nothing to get it. Tiffani's character ended up sleeping with every male on the show, and becoming rivals with every female. During this time, she went through a many television movies, and also a small role alongside Pauly Shore in the comedy Son in Law in 1993. Still trying to surpass her former role as wholesome Kelly on Saved by the Bell, Tiffani posed nude several times in both Veronica and New Look magazines.
Tiffani has accomplished many things in her acting carreer but she will always be remembered by most as Kelly Kapowski, an image she can not live down.
