The star with the winning smile first did beauty pageants before she appeared on hit TV shows like Saved By The Bell and Beverly Hills, 90210.
At the same time she guest-starred on series such as Married… with Children, Charles In Charge and Step By Step.
In 1992, she starred in the TV movie Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style. She then continued with starring in spin-off Saved by the Bell: The College Years in its single season (1993–94) and in television movie Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas (1994).
Acting fame led to her appearing on the covers of Seventeen magazine, ‘Teen and Young Miss.

‘Balancing work, family, and everything in between, Tiffani Thiessen keeps StarKist Creations within reach to power through her daily hustle without sacrificing flavor or nutrition,’ the company shared with Daily Mail on Wednesday.
‘StarKist Creations pouches are ready-to-eat and fit seamlessly into life on the go, with the convenience she can count on and the Tuna and Chicken pouches offer bold flavors and 10+ grams of lean protein per serving, making them a staple that Thiessen turns to for quick and nutritious meals,’ the brand added.
Last year, when she turned 50, the star posed nude. The brunette beauty looked tanned and toned as she held up a sheet to her chest to protect her modesty with her dark locks flowing down one side in a photograph by Rebecca Sanabria.
‘Over the hill,’ the TV star wrote in her caption even though she looked anything but over the hill.
The looker added the hashtag for ‘This is 50.’
The comments were pretty intriguing. Sarah Michelle Gellar said, ‘Looks pretty [three fire emojis] to me,’ while Valerie Bertinelli called her ‘a hot mama’ and her former SBTB costar Mario Lopez said, ‘Welcome to the 5th level kid!’ Mario turned 50-years-old in October.
Jennifer Love Hewitt also chimed in: ‘Happy Birthday! I remember knowing you as a teenager and hoping to be as gorgeous as you one day! And I still feel the same! You make 50 look great! ❤️’
Last year she said: ‘I can only age the way I’m going to age, right? I’m the best I can be and I’m taking care of myself and doing things that I know will benefit the outside exterior of myself that people are seeing.’ Seen left with Elizabeth Berkley right

Jenna Fischer added, ‘Well done. Starting the 50s exactly right. Happy birthday!’
Vanessa Lachey and Brittany Cartwright hit the like button.
Last year Tiffani admitted even over the last decade she has changed her outlook and learned not to care what people think.
Noting her ‘confidence wasn’t 100 percent’ when she turned 40.
She added: ‘When I was turning 40, I feel like I had more personal pressure on myself to look the best I could.
‘I feel so much more at ease now than I did even ten years ago. I don’t know if it’s me just not giving a s***.’
The mom of two – who has son Holt Fisher, three, and 13-year-old daughter Harper – noted that her ‘body was changing so much hormonally and mentally’ when she was having her children.

Now, she’s ‘at a good place’ and focused on ‘raising happy, healthy kids that are going to do well for themselves and society’.
When it comes to staying healthy herself, she explained: ‘I’m doing it for myself, I’m doing it for my kids, my husband.
Thiessen has been married to Brady Smith since 2005.
‘I want to be around for as long as possible of course, to be able to see my kids grow up and have kids of their own, and all those things that are much more important to me now.’
She also said she felt an ‘added pressure of what people were saying’ when she starred on SBTB.
Appearing on the Good Instincts podcast from Dear Media, Tiffani told host and dietitian Shira Barlow: ‘I think people will say things, you know, and maybe expect me to look a certain way, yes.
‘But I mean, it’s just not realistic. I can only age the way I’m going to age, right?
‘I’m the best I can be and I’m taking care of myself and doing things that I know will benefit the outside exterior of myself that people are seeing.’

‘But yeah, those people don’t know what’s happening on the inside, right? Because that’s what actually helps the outside.’
In 2020 she shared a swimsuit photo when she was conducting ‘research’ as she embarked on a ‘character study’ ahead of her Saved By The Bell reboot.
The star dug up an old swimsuit picture of herself from the original run of the sitcom, which ran from 1989 to 1993.
Tiffani captioned the picture: ‘#tbt #research #characterstudy,’ adding a heart emoji.
During the show her character worked as a lifeguard and the swimsuit look Tiffani posted to Instagram was the uniform for that job.
The reboot lasted only two seasons.

She dished to Hollywood Life that she thinks the key to staying in shape is to not ‘panic’ if you gain a little weight.
‘What is panic going to do?’ she asked. ‘They say stress actually adds pounds, so if I stress it’s going to be worse, right?’
She added that she ‘always tries to live her life in balance,’ which includes the way she eats. She shared: ‘I’ve never been one to go extreme either way [with dieting].
‘I’ve never been one to eat bad all the time and I’ve never been one to always be healthy. I’m like an 80-20 per cent kind of person.
‘I try to be because I love food. I love to cook… Eating a salad three times a day is not always what I want to do. So, I think it’s all about balance.’
