- Birth nameTiffany Michelle Brissette
- Born in Paradise, California, and raised in San Diego, Tiffany began her career at just two years old. Her mother entered her in many children's pageants and talent competitions during her young life which led to television voice-over work and many commercials, including "Care Bears", "Florida Orange Juice", "IBM", "Jell-O Puddin' Pops" with Bill Cosby.
Tiffany's big break came when she appeared in Heart Like a Wheel (1983) with Hoyt Axton, then was highly encouraged by her peers to pursue television as a career. From late 1984 to 1985, she had a recurring guest role on Webster (1983) as Kathy. Her biggest success was portraying child robot "V.I.C.I." on the FOX network's first sitcom, Small Wonder (1985), which had a popular syndicated run from 1985 to 1989.
After "Small Wonder" ended, she appeared on various television shows including a recurring role as Katie Rogan on several episodes of Equal Justice (1990). Devoutly religious, Tiffany made a memorable appearance on The 700 Club (1966) in 1991, at age 17, and also sang. She later received her Bachelor's degree in psychology from Westmont College and became heavily involved with children and young adults as a counselor in the San Diego area.
In the mid-2000s she relocated to Boulder, Colorado, where she worked as a nanny. While there she earned her next degree to become a registered nurse, which has since been her full-time occupation. She last appeared on television in "Where Are They Now?" segments on Good Morning America Weekend Edition (1993), in 2007, and on The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet (2007) in 2009 with "Small Wonder" cast members Richard Christie, Marla Pennington, and Edie McClurg joining her via satellite.- IMDb mini biography by: Tommy R.
