Tamblyn was born in Santa Monica, California, the daughter of Russ Tamblyn, an actor, dancer, and singer, and Bonnie Murray, a singer, teacher, and artist. Her paternal grandfather, Eddie Tamblyn, was a vaudeville performer. At the age of ten, she played Pippi Longstocking at the Santa Monica Alternative School House; 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.Personal life
Tamblyn, a political liberal, attended the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and has publicly voiced her displeasure towards George W. Bush. She supported Sen. Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries. She has been a vegetarian since 2005 (stating that what keeps her from becoming a vegan is her taste for cheese.)
In February 2005, Tamblyn was threatened by a stalker. He pledged to "torture her for a million years" and "drill things into her kneecaps," among other acts of violence. Frightened, Tamblyn phoned the police. A restraining order was issued forbidding the man from coming within 100 yards of her.
Tamblyn is an agnostic. She is the goddaughter of actors Dean Stockwell and Dennis Hopper and musician Neil Young. Her uncle is Larry Tamblyn , who was keyboardist in the 60s rock band The Standells. Stockwell and her father, Russ Tamblyn, appeared together in the film The Boy with Green Hair and in the Quantum Leap episode 'Thou Shalt Not...'
She is currently dating comedian and fellow actor David Cross.
