Bio (from a-t.net)

Amber Rose Tamblyn began acting at the age of 5 in a theatrical school in southern California. The school called SMASH was a creative center strictly for the arts; its main focus being theatre. During Amber's 9 years in attending SMASH (kindergarten- 8th grade), she performed in over 13 plays, including starring in "Pippy Longstocking" in 4th grade.

Amber would soon find out that being Pippi was the beginning of her real career in the entertainment business. Her long time family friend and agent Sharon Debord, who after seeing the play, instantly confronted her about going on a few auditions discovered Amber. Amber's father who is also in the business (actor Russ Tamblyn from Westside story, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Tom Thumb) was wary at first to let his 9-year-old daughter enter into such a risky and unknowing line of work, but eventually gave into Sharon's nagging. And Sharon was right. Amber landed her first three roles in a matter of months. Beginning with a small film called Live Nude Girls, starring Dana Delany, then an independent film entitled Biker Poet in 1994. Then, in the winter of 1994, Amber landed a short term role on ABC's General Hospital, which continued for the next 7 years.
During her run as Emily Quartermaine, she received 2 Hollywood reporter awards two years in a row for best young actress in a daytime series, and received applause from critics everywhere.

She finished her second film, Johnny Mysto Boy wizard at the age of 12, which she costarred with her father. At the age of 17, after 5 years of focusing on GH, Amber decided to jump back into the acting game and start auditioning again. She quickly landed the lead for a pilot for the WB, entitled "No Ordinary Girl", written by Bob Brush (writer of The Wonder Years).

After being forced to pass up several film roles because of her hectic schedule on "General Hospital", Amber decided to leave when her contract expired in the spring of 2001. Over the next year she accomplished numerous roles- a guest lead on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", guest lead on "Boston Public", the lead in a pilot for the WB show "Prep", a lead role for the Premiere episode of the "Twilight Zone", a short film written and directed by Vim Venders and the DreamWorks Film "The Ring", directed by Gore Verbinski.

Amber recently starred in the hit drama Joan of Arcadia on CBS for two years. And co-starred in her first feature film for Warner Brothers, based on the best selling book, "The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants" in Summer 2005.

Amber's theory in use is to never get caught acting, and so far, she hasn't.

So I have actually never seen Joan of Arcadia, but I do love Amber so I was wondering if I could be added to the list! Also, I thought I would post these pics of Amber from the cover of Nylon Magazine. It is a few months old but they are great pics. When I get some speare time I promise I will scan and post the article.

Just Peachy.

Welcome to the thread and thanks for the pictures I've added you to the list.

For those who have seen General Hospital..or shows in General..AT reminds me SO much of Sarah Joy Brown.. one..how TALENTED of an actress she is!!..and two ..physically..like her face her eyes and everything..just remind me SO much of Sarah Joy Brown..

Can't wait to See Amber's new movie!!
..how she never got a daytime emmy??! is beyond my comprehension!!
I think actress wise..Next to Jane Elliot and SJB..AT was the BEST actress to ever come out of or be on GH or daytime television at all

Just Peachy.

Thanks for that I never got the chance to see GH, I'll have to check it out.
