Tiffany Bolling, a strikingly beautiful and fiery blonde, may not have achieved long-lasting stardom, but she remains a beloved cult favorite among 1970s B-movie buffs for her lively and impressive performances in a handful of enjoyably trashy drive-in flicks.
Born Tiffany Royce Kral in Santa Monica, California, she had show business in her blood - her father was singer/pianist Roy Kral, and her mother was singer/comedienne Bettie Miller. She attended Webster elementary school in Malibu.
Tiffany began singing in coffee houses at 16 and recorded an album for Canyon Records, scoring a minor hit single with the Vietnam protest song "Thank God the War is Over". Her latter album "Tiffany" was a flop, but has since become a collector's item.
As an actress, she made her film debut at 20 in an uncredited bit part in Tony Rome (1967). More prominent roles in Triangle (1970) and The Marriage of a Young Stockbroker (1971) cemented her status as a promising new talent.
She did a nude pictorial for the April 1972 issue of "Playboy" magazine and secured her place as a B-movie queen with starring roles in Bonnie's Kids (1972),Wicked, Wicked (1973),The Candy Snatchers (1973),and The Centerfold Girls (1974).
Tiffany gave another fine performance as a gutsy entomologist in Kingdom of the Spiders (1977). On television, she was a regular cast member of The New People (1969) and guest-starred on numerous shows, including High Mountain Rangers (1987),The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams (1977),Vega$ (1978),and Charlie's Angels (1976).
Alas, her career declined in the 1980s, with lackluster movies like The Vals (1983),Love Scenes (1984),and Open House (1992). Her last movie to date is Visions (1998).
Tiffany has since worked behind the scenes in stage and film productions, teaches, and dedicates herself to various humanitarian causes. Her daughter Seanie sang back-up vocals on the 1990 debut album of the Christian heavy metal band Holy Soldier.
