Next she starred in her first TV movie, 1992's "A killer
Among Friends" in which she got tortured and killed by her
two best friends. I remember watching this movie and almost
throwing up. They pushed her character around, pulled her
hair and drowned her in a creek, pushing her head
underneath the water then quickly up and down again. When
they were finished they put a log on top of her so that she
couldn't get up. She comments, "We did the killing scene in
one day-I was so drained I got back
to the hotel and went- "MASSEUSE!"
While guest-starring in Married...with Children she met her
boyfriend for 2 1/2 years, Brian Austin Green. They were
best friends for about 4 years then all of a sudden "Saw
each other in a completely different light." Although, sadly
they ended their relationship, they say that, "We get along
wonderfully, we're the best of friends and always will be,
even before we started dating." Also their publicist claims,
"It's a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship that still could be."
Her big break came on Saved By The Bell where she played
the popular cheerleader, Kelly Kapowski. ON her Saved
-buds, "I grew up with these kids. It was just like us at
school having fun. We were best friends for years." On the
set her nickname, I know this is corny, was "Tiffles." She
says the worst thing Kelly ever did on Saved, "She cheated
on Zack and then broke up with him to date a college guy.
That was probably the worst thing she ever did in her whole LIFE." When Saved By the Bell was canceled, she was cast in the Pauly Shore movie, "Son-in-Law". "The cast was amazing. We had a great time. We played around a lot. If we weren't working, we were out together doing something." She also filmed a Milk commercial. You know the one. Two girls. One girl says of her friend (who is Tiff) "At 12, my friend was skinny, SCRAWNY, invisible to guys. Then she started
drinking milk." (You see some fifteen year old pretending to
be Tiff, gulping milk) "And look at her now! So, what do you
want now?" she asks Tiff. Tiff replies, "I want Kurt Davis."
Other girl, "MY Kurt Davis???" (Some guy walks up behind
other girl and puts arms around her) Tiff: "Well, does he
have a brother??" Other girl: "Yes, he has a brother."
(Another guy walks up and puts arms around Tiff) Tiff:
"Hi!!" *Milk, does a body good*
After this she chopped off her long hair and became Kelly
Kapowski. again in Saved By The Bell:The College Years
which was canceled after one season only. During the
summer that followed this, I'd guess was one of the best
summer's of her life. She filmed Saved By The Bell:
Wedding in Las
Vegas and was hired to play Valerie Malone on Beverly Hills,
90210. "After all those years on Saved By the Bell I was
worried that casting people would see me only as a good girl.
The fact that Valerie was a conniving bitch really attracted
me to the role. She's claims to have had to struggle with her weight since
she were seventeen and that its been an on-going battle. "There's a lot of added pressure because I work with so many beautiful, thin people, and I've been asked to lose
weight before by producers (This was a while ago on Saved) It really hurts, but that's part of what this business is about. I work out four times a week with a trainer, and I try to get
on the bike every day. I want to look good and be healthy." She also takes kick-boxing lessons. Another way that Tiff keeps healthy is that she stays away from drugs. "I've seen
the effects of drugs too often. My brother had a big problem with them for five years. He's better now, but I've
never needed or wanted to be involved with them. Summer of 95' was another exciting summer for her. She filmed the two movies, "The Stranger Beside Me" with Eric
Close and "She Fought Alone" with Brian Austin Green. In Stranger, she plays Jennifer Gallagher a rape victim who
unwittingly marries a serial rapist. Since cops don't believe
that he is the rapist, she is forced to try to uncover the truth
and prove his guilt.
In "She Fought Alone" she plays Caitlin Rose a high school
girl who joins "the cool crowd" in school then gets raped by
a classmate. Brian plays her boyfriend (not the rapist). Since
the rapist is a football player hero he gets of scot-free and
everyone scorns Caitlin as a slut. These two movies show that
she has good acting ability. They were both played during
the fall.
