New dolls: Amber Tamblyn

Her Stardoll Profile

                                 About her...
Amber Rose Tamblyn (born May 14, 1983) is an American actress and poet. She first became recognized for her role on the soap opera General Hospital as Emily Quartermaine followed by a starring role on the television series Joan of Arcadia portraying the title character Joan Girardi. She has branched out into film roles, appearing in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and The Grudge 2. Her most recent work includes a co-starring role in the film 127 Hours with James Franco and she has recently joined the main cast of the medical drama House portraying the character Martha M. Masters.

Personal life

She is the daughter of actor Russ Tamblyn, best known for Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and West Side Story. She is the goddaughter of actors Dean Stockwell and the late Dennis Hopper and musician Neil Young. Her uncle is Larry Tamblyn, who was the keyboardist in the '60s rock band The Standells. Tamblyn is dating comedian and actor David Cross.

Poetry

Tamblyn has self-published two chapbooks of poetry, Of the Dawn and Plenty of Ships, and has participated in poetry readings at various venues, particularly in California. The Loneliest, a poem book inspired byThelonious Monk and his music, was published in 2005 and contains haiku poetry written by Tamblyn and coupled with collages by George Herms. Only 300 copies of the book were published.

In 2005, Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing published a book of poems that she wrote over the span of seven years entitled Free Stallion. The School Library Journal's review states that, "Free Stallion is a compilation of poetry that amounts to a portrait of the artist as a teenager.... Many of the selections are appropriately self-absorbed but move beyond journalistic catharsis to real insight and stunning language for one so young."^{[citation needed]}

In October 2006, Tamblyn did several poetry readings in California, including a few with poet Derrick Brown. In 2008, she was featured in the Write Bloody Publishing anthology, The Last American Valentine: Illustrated poems to seduce and destroy.

Tamblyn appears in a poetry concert film recorded on August 4, 2007 in Los Angeles, "The Drums Inside Your Chest." Premiere date: April 26, 2009 at the Newport Beach Film Festival.^[9]

A new collection of poetry, Bang Ditto, is forthcoming in September 2009 from Manic D Press.

Beginning in October 2009, Tamblyn began blogging for the Poetry Foundation's blog, Harriet.
