About Me: I am not just Jennifer Keaton! Once you get to know me, I am so much more. I met my first boyfriend right before the show ended, did that for a while, and then luckily got over that, and then just did nothing for a long time. I thought I was enjoying it, but somewhere around 20, I realized that you just can't be unproductive, and so I got in touch with my agent and told him I wanted to start going out on things again. Things went in a direction that I didn't want to go. I started doing bit parts and things that are pretty much laid out for people in my position. Recognizable, or maybe a familiar name... The parts were pretty generic. I was 20, maybe 21 years old and felt I had a lot to offer, even to myself, and so I just stopped. I didn't want to do that anymore. I stopped acting because of that, and because I had other passions I wanted to pursue. You pretty much have to blame it on my brother Corey. Not that I'm bitter. I was just going through my weird years on television.
Occupation(s): musician | actress | punk rebel | shoe designer | published writer | philosopher
Films (Non-Medicine): I can't wait to see "The Grinch." It's so out of the world. Every time a movie like that comes out, I'm stoked. It's like real life.
Books: I am a published writer. My novel was called "Being Your Best: Tina Yothers' Guide for Girls." Its ISBN is 0671631284 and was ranked in the top 429,000 best-selling books list on Amazon!
Heroes: Someone like Russell Crowe is questioned for his passion for music, and whatever he does, music is just in his heart and soul. All he wants to do is music.
Enemies: You can definitely become a victim and let people completely destroy your life. Which a lot of times is people's main motives and plan in life--to hurt as many people as they can--but I think there's enough good people who want to see others achieve things and want to see people be good people, and I think there's enough of that to help make the world a good place.
Dreams: It's definitely a struggle to prove yourself just as a good human being, not necessarily just as a good human person, but a decent person on the right track. But I'm so proud of who I am and what I've become, the morals I have, and the people that I'm surrounded by. I definitely don't have a sad story or ending or whatever.
I saw Tina on the Queen Latifah talk show a half-decade ago, and she really had turned into a lovely adult! She spoke wistfully of her lost "bro" Michael J. Fox, who was too self-important to keep in touch with her after "Family Ties" ended. It is an honor to have such a genuine, sensitive soul for an electronic friend.
