Tina Yothers
Having made a name for herself as the smart-mouthed youngest daughter of the Keaton clan on "Family Ties" (NBC, 1982-89), actress Tina Yothers struggled like so many other child actors to make the transition to adult roles. Yothers had been acting practically since birth and made her official debut on the anthology series, "The Wonderful World of Disney" (ABC, 1954-2008). But it was her performance as the young Jennifer Keaton - who lives in a home culturally divided home and wants nothing more than to be a normal kid - that made her a star. Yothers grew up on the show, starting as a nine-year-old and blossoming into a young woman by decade's end. Continuing to land roles, she starred in television movies like "The Laker Girls" (CBS, 1990) and "Spunk: The Tonya Harding Story" (1993). She left acting for nearly a decade to pursue a brief music career, before returning to the spotlight to portray famed porn actress, Linda Lovelace, in "Lovelace the Musical" (2004). From there, she was a stock player in a Florida dinner theater before appearing on the fourth season of the reality series, "Celebrity Fit Club" (VH1, 2005-2010) and appearing on the U.S. version of "Celebrity Wife Swap" (ABC, 2012- ), which perhaps marked a comeback for the previously dormant Yothers.
