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).
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,
a role which earned her a Golden Globe nomination; Tamblyn's father made
several appearances 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
become an independent documentary filmmaker, while the rest of her friends -
played by Bledel, Ferrera and Lively - leave for the summer, leaving her
alone.
Tamblyn's next major film will be The Grudge 2, a sequel to The Grudge. The
film, which also stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, is currently in post-production
and will be released on October 13, 2006. Tamblyn has also signed on to star

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.
Tamblyn is a 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) and has arachnophobia. When she
found out her character's pet on General Hospital was going to be a
tarantula, she requested that the spider be killed off due to Tamblyn's fear
of spiders. She suggested that the spider could be replaced by a rat, the
type of pet Tamblyn had at home.
In February, 2005, Amber Tamblyn received vicious threats from a stalker. He
pledged to "torture her for a million years", "drill things into her
kneecaps", amongst other acts of violence. Frightened, Tamblyn phoned the
police. A restraining order was issued forbidding the man from coming 100
yards near her.
According to Tamblyn's message board, she is agnostic. |
