Amber Rose
Tamblyn (born May 14, 1983) is an Emmy-nominated
American actress and poet. She came to fame on the soap
opera General Hospital followed by a starring role on
the television series Joan of Arcadia. She has branched
out into film roles, appearing in The Sisterhood of the
Traveling Pants and The Grudge 2.
Early life: Tamblyn was born in Santa Monica,
California, the daughter of actor Russ Tamblyn and
musician/writer Bonnie Murray. At the age of 10, she
played Pippi Longstocking at the Santa Monica
Alternative School House; her father's agent, Sharon
Debord, was attending as a family friend and ended up
convincing her father to allow Tamblyn to go on
auditions.
Acting career: Tamblyn was cast as Emily Bowen
(later known as Emily Quartermaine) on the soap opera
General Hospital, a role which she played for six years
(from 1995 to 2001). She also appeared in the films
Rebellious and Johnny Mysto: Boy Wizard (both
co-starring her father), as well as in Live Nude Girls
(1995) and in the opening scene of the 2002 horror film
The Ring. Tamblyn also made a number of guest
appearances on several television shows, including Buffy
the Vampire Slayer, in which she played Janice Penshaw,
the best friend of Dawn Summers, as well as Boston
Public, CSI: Miami, and Punk'd (after being tricked by
Ashton Kutcher or his crew members for losing someone
else's dog).
She also starred in the pilot episode of the revived
Twilight zone series on UPN in 2002. The episode
"Evergreen", which aired on Semtember 18, saw
Amber playing rebellious teenager Jenna Winslow.
Tamblyn became well known for playing Joan Girardi, a
teenage girl who receives frequent visits from God on
the CBS drama series Joan of Arcadia. That role earned
her both a Golden Globe and Emmy nomination in 2004.
Tamblyn's father made several appearances as God in the
form of a dog walker on the show, which ran from 2003 to
2005.
Tamblyn's first major film role was in 2005's
well-reviewed The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,
alongside Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera, and Blake
Lively. She portrayed Tabitha "Tibby"
Tomko-Rollins, a girl who intended to make a
documentary, rather a "suckumentary," while
the rest of her friends -- played by Bledel, Ferrera,
and Lively -- leave for the summer. When Tibby befriends
a young girl played by Jenna Boyd, her perspective on
life -- and her documentary -- greatly changes.
In August, 2006, Tamblyn won the Bronze Leapord at the
Locarno International Film Festival for her performance
in the title role of Stephanie Daley. The film, which
also won an award at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival,
features Tamblyn as a sixteen-year-old who kills her
baby moments after giving birth in the bathroom of a ski
resort. The film also stars Tilda Swinton and Timothy
Hutton.
Tamblyn's also appeared in the Japan-set The Grudge 2, a
sequel to The Grudge. The film, which also stars Sarah
Michelle Gellar, was released on October 13, 2006, and
debuted in the #1 spot at the North American box office.
Tamblyn, who learned about Japanese culture while
filming the role, agreed to star in the film because she
had wanted to play the lead in a horror film.
Tamblyn will next appear in Spring Breakdown, a Spring
break-themed comedy also featuring Amy Poehler and
Rachel Dratch, and Blackout, a thriller by Italian
writer Gianluca Morozzi, in which her character will be
trapped in an elevator for nearly 24 hours.
The actress was suppose to return to television network
CBS, in the pilot Babylon Fields, an apocalyptic comedic
drama about the undead trying to resume their former
lives, with Tamblyn plays a young woman,Janine Wunch,
who, after being abused by her father, teamed with her
mom to kill him only to see him come back. However, the
network excluded the show from its Fall 2007 programming
lineup, since it would compete with the network's other
vampire drama,Moonlight.
Poetry: Tamblyn has self-published two chapbooks
of poetry, Of the Dawn and Plenty of Ships, and has
participated in poetry readings at various venues,
particularly in California. The Loneliest, a poem book
inspired by Thelonius Monk and his music, was published
in 2005 and contains Haiku poetry written by Tamblyn and
coupled with collages by George Herms. Only 300 copies
of the book were published.
In 2005, Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing
published a book of poems that she wrote over the span
of seven years entitled Free Stallion. The School
Library Journal's review states that, "Free
Stallion is a compilation of poetry that amounts to a
portrait of the artist as a teenager.... Many of the
selections are appropriately self-absorbed but move
beyond journalistic catharsis to real insight and
stunning language for one so young."
In October 2006, Tamblyn did several poetry readings in
California, including a couple with poet Derrick Brown.
Personal life: Tamblyn is a political liberal and
attended the 2004 Democratic National Convention. She
has been a vegetarian since 2005 (stating that what
keeps her from becoming a vegan is her taste for
cheese.)
In February 2005, Tamblyn received vicious threats from
a stalker. He pledged to "torture her for a million
years" and "drill things into her
kneecaps," among other acts of violence.
Frightened, Tamblyn phoned the police. A restraining
order was issued forbidding the man from coming within
100 yards of her.
Tamblyn is an agnostic. She has also stated that she
celebrates Hanukkah, although she is not Jewish. She is
the goddaughter of actors Dean Stockwell and Dennis
Hopper and musician Neil Young. Stockwell and her
father, Russ Tamblyn, appeared together in the film
"The Boy with Green Hair" and in the Quantum
Leap episode 'Thou Shalt Not...'
