A role that slipped away
Spelling wanted Thiessen to take over Doherty's part in Charmed in 2001, but she said no since she was hoping NBC would pick up the pilot for Everything But the Girl. Rose McGowan ended up with the role.
Behind the camera
In 2003 Thiessen started Tit 4 Tat Productions, her own production company. She produced and directed Just Pray, a short film, in 2005, and it won Best Score at the Rhode Island International Film Festival.
A first
Thiessen was the first actress to join the main cast of Beverly Hills, 90210 directly, coming aboard in 1994 as Valerie Malone to fill the void left by Shannen Doherty's departure.
About the name
Thiessen dropped her middle name, which she had used professionally for years, in 2000 and has since been credited as simply Tiffani Thiessen.
