Amber Tamblyn Trivias

Fan of folk singer Ani DiFranco

Daughter of actor Russ Tamblyn

Amber suffers from Arachnophobia. When a scene called for "Emily" to pick up her pet Tarantula, Amber went to the writers and asked them if they could change the scene. She also suggested that the spider be killed off and "Emily" be given a rat, the sort of pet Amber herself had at home.

Her dad, Russ Tamblyn danced with her during the 1997 Nurses' Ball.

She is the goddaughter of actor Dean Stockwell ("Quantum Leap"), "Married to the Mob"). Stockwell and her father, Russ Tamblyn, appeared together in the film "The Boy with Green Hair".

Convinced a homeless man to pose as her father so she could get her navel pierced. It soon became infected and she had to confess to her parents. The story inspired an episode of "Joan of Arcadia".

Is a fan of singer Avril Lavigne.

Appears in the "Twin Peaks" Special Edition DVD special features. She and her father Russ Tamblyn tell a story about his appearance at a "Twin Peaks" event at which Amber had the cast sign her shoes.

On General Hospital, Amber portrayed the adopted granddaughter of Lila Quartermaine, portrayed by Anna Lee. In the 1950s (long before Amber's birth), Amber's father, Russ Tamblyn, was married to Lee's daughter Venetia Stevenson.
