Tiffani Thiessen

In 1999, her boyfriend David Strickland committed suicide. Her stage performance in Sophocles' Electra was widely acclaimed. In 2002, she appeared in the film Hollywood Ending by Woody Allen. Successful TV series included Love Hurts with Adam Faith and My Family with Robert Lindsay. Her transition to movies has not gone well so far, as most of her movies, including Love Stinks, have been critically panned. She has also appeared in a variety of films, programmes, and plays. She later starred in the short-lived action show Fastlane. She played Clarice, one of the dimwitted twin sisters of Lord Groan in Gormenghast, a BBC television adaptation of Mervyn Peake's trilogy.

This was very different from her next major role, as a duplicitous vixen on Beverly Hills, 90210. She is probably best-known by a world-wide audience for her role as Madam Hooch in the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Her first big break in show business was her role on the television program Saved By The Bell, as a nice girl teen. She is the daughter of American film director Sam Wanamaker, who led the project to rebuild the Globe Theatre in London. As a child, she competed in many beauty pageants, and she won the Miss Junior America pageant in 1987. Zoe Wanamaker (born May 13, 1949) is an American actress who lives and works in the United Kingdom. She was born in Long Beach, California.
