Her uncle is Larry Tamblyn, who is the keyboardist in the 1960s rock band The Standells.

[3] At the age of ten, she played Pippi Longstocking in a school play; her father's agent, Sharon Debord, was attending as a family friend and ended up convincing her father to allow Tamblyn to go on auditions. [2]

Writings

In 2005, Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing published her debut book of poems, written between the ages of 11 and 21, 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." [22] Poet Laureate Lawrence Ferlinghetti called the book, "A fine, fruitful gestation of throbbingly nascent sexuality, awakened in young new language." [23] In 2008, she was featured in the Write Bloody Publishing anthology, The Last American Valentine: Illustrated Poems to Seduce and Destroy. [24]

In 2009, Manic D. Press published her second collection of poetry, Bang Ditto.[ citation needed ]

In 2015, HarperCollins published her third collection, a hybrid of poetry and art called Dark Sparkler which explored the lives and deaths of child star actresses. The book was a large critical success and bestseller, which features accompanying original art from Marilyn Manson, David Lynch, Marcel Dazma, Adrian Tomine, and many others. For the book's publication launch in 2015, Tamblyn and the band Yo La Tengo created an hour long poetry and music show incorporating poems from Tamblyn's book. They performed the show in New York at Housing Works and in Los Angeles at The Hollywood Forever Cemetery. [25]

In 2019, Penguin Random House published Era of Ignition; Coming of Age in a Time of Rage and Revolution, [26] a collection of her cultural criticism and memoir essays. The book is a personal exploration of feminism during divisive times.

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 by Thelonious Monk and his music, was published in 2005 and contains haiku poetry written by Tamblyn and coupled with collages by George Herms. [27]

Tamblyn appeared in a poetry concert film recorded on August 4, 2002, in Los Angeles, The Drums Inside Your Chest. [28] Beginning in October 2009, she began blogging for the Poetry Foundation's blog, Harriet. [29] Her poem "Bridgette Anderson" was one of the poems featured in Saul Williams' book Chorus, published by MTV Books in September 2011.

In 2007, she co-founded Write Now Poetry Society, dedicated to creating unique and quality poetry programming. The non-profit has a long history with The Getty Museum, curating poetry events in conjunction with art openings, such as 2011's Dark Blushing, featuring new poems commissioned by poets Patricia Smith and NEA fellow Jeffrey McDaniel, based on works of art by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Blake. [30] Since 2011, Tamblyn has reviewed books of poetry by women for iconic feminist magazine, BUST Magazine . [31]

James Woods allegation and Hasidic incident

In a series of September 2017 tweets later reiterated in an open letter published in Teen Vogue , she said that actor James Woods tried to seduce her and a friend at a restaurant and offered to take them to Las Vegas when both Tamblyn and her friend were 16. Woods denied her allegations, calling them a "lie". [32] [33] Tamblyn later wrote an essay for The New York Times in which she said that Woods's "accusation that I was lying sent me back to that day in that producer's office, and back to all the days I've spent in the offices of men; of feeling unsure, uneasy, questioned and disbelieved, no matter the conversation." [34]

In March 2018, Tamblyn came under criticism for tweets about New York City's Hasidic Jewish community following an incident in Brooklyn involving her daughter. Tamblyn said she was nearly struck by a van driven by a Hasidic Jewish man while walking with her daughter in a stroller. She said "this is not the first time a man from the Hasidic community in NYC has attempted to harm me or other women I know. Any woman riding a bike through South Williamsburg can attest. I hope this guy is caught." Writing in Tablet , journalist Liel Leibovitz chided Tamblyn for "speaking so hurtfully about an entire community of underprivileged people". [35] Tamblyn denied accusations of anti-Semitism. [36] [37] [38]

Personal life

Tamblyn and actor-comedian David Cross became engaged in August 2011, [39] and married on October 6, 2012. [40] On February 21, 2017, Tamblyn announced that she and Cross had recently had a daughter. [41] [42]

She is sometimes said to be the goddaughter of musician Neil Young and actors Dean Stockwell and Dennis Hopper, although in a 2009 interview with Parade , Tamblyn explained that "godfather" was "just a loose term" for Stockwell, Hopper and Young, three famous friends of her father's who were always around the house when she was growing up, and who were big influences on her life. [43]

She was the writing mentee of the late San Francisco Poet Laureate Jack Hirschman.[ citation needed ]

Politics

Tamblyn supported and campaigned for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 United States presidential election. [44] [45] On social media, Tamblyn urged voters to check voter ID requirements citing VoteRiders as a source of assistance across the United States. [46]

She is one of the founders of the non-profit organization Time's Up, which was created to combat workplace sexual harassment. [47] She is also a feminist. [48]

In October 2023, Tamblyn signed the Artists4Ceasefire open letter to Joe Biden, President of the United States, calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza. [49]

Relationship with parents

In June 2021, Tamblyn wrote an essay in The New York Times expressing solidarity with Britney Spears's effort to end the conservatorship controlling her life. Tamblyn wrote that she became financially successful when she turned 21 and starred in Joan of Arcadia after which her father became her co-manager, and her mother her business manager. She wrote that having her parents on the payroll damaged their relationship, and that her money "paid for our vacations, dinners out, and sometimes even the bills. When it finally came time to disentangle our personal and professional relationships, it was deeply painful for all three of us" but noted she, unlike Spears, "had a healthy and loving relationship with my parents, for the most part" and her parents "were supportive and ethical in every way". When the "circle of those I supported opened up to include extended family members and friends. I was the one they came to for a small loan or in an emergency, the one who always picked up the check", "using money to make people happy, or fix problems, or appease my guilt", she recounted that she felt like "everybody's ATM: a bank that was, nonetheless, unconditionally loved".

Joan Crawford was an American actress. She started her career as a dancer in traveling theatrical companies before debuting on Broadway. Crawford was signed to a motion picture contract by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1925.

By the 1930s, Crawford's fame rivaled MGM colleagues Norma Shearer and Greta Garbo. Crawford often played hardworking young women who find romance and financial success. These "rags-to-riches" stories were well received by Depression-era audiences and were popular with women. Crawford became one of Hollywood's most prominent movie stars and one of the highest paid women in the United States, but her films began losing money. By the end of the 1930s, she was labeled "box office poison".
