After a childhood of beauty pageants, Tiffani Amber Theissen was crowned Miss Junior America in 1987 and won [[Teen Magazine]]'s Great Model Search in 1988, gracing the cover of that issue. A year later, her first big break in [[show business]] was her role on the television program ''[[Saved By The Bell]]'', which was publicized and given a great deal of fanfare by the same magazine. She portrayed [[Kelly Kapowski]], a role she continued playing in the short lived ''[[Saved by the Bell: The College Years]]''. This was very different from her next major role, as a duplicitous vixen, [[Valerie Malone]], on ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]''. |

In [[2005]], she released a short (21 minute) film she had directed called ''Just Pray''. It placed at several film festivals and was the first major effort from her new production company, Tit 4 Tat Productions. |
|||
In January [[2007]] Thiessen joined the cast of ABC's relationship drama ''[[What About Brian]]'', playing the boss of Brian, and a potential love interest for Adam. However, in May 2007 [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] officially canceled the series. |
|||

During her ''[[Saved By The Bell]]'' and ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]'' career she dated her co-stars [[Mark Paul Gosselaar]] and actor [[Brian Austin Green]] for about 7 years. |
|||
In March of [[1999]], her then-boyfriend, actor [[David Strickland]], committed [[suicide]]. From October [[2001]] to April [[2003]], she was engaged to actor [[Richard Ruccolo]], whom she had met during the ''[[Two Guys and a Girl]]'' run. On [[July 9]], 2005, she married actor Brady Smith in [[Montecito, California]]. |

Early life
She was born in Long Beach, California; her father, Frank, was a park designer and her mother, Robyn, was a homemaker. She is of Turkish, German, Greek, and Welsh descent. She told InStyle: "I'm a mutt. I have so much of everything in me, and half of it I don't even know. German on one side, Greek, Turkish and Welsh on the other. My mom is very olive-skinned; I get my blue eyes from my dad."[2] She credits her brother, Todd, as one of her most important sources of inspiration, and her mother and grandmother as her role models.[3] Her uncle, Roger Ernest, who attended college with Steven Spielberg and co-wrote one of his student films called Slipstream, and who appeared in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and The Sugarland Express playing a cop in both films, was the person who had first suggested that his niece enter show business.
