Embarressed to admit she likes-"Mr.Rogers....he tells me i don't need to feel alone"

Amber ROSE to the top

At just 14 years old,Amber demonstrated she had what it took to be a true soap diva,A juicy roll as little orphan Emily Bowen,recovering heroine addict who was recently cleared of stabbing her adoptive mother's drug dealing lover.And,like any true diva,it is the actresses real life dramas that sound equally heart-wrenching.

Trying to fit into a normal plubic school was no picnic."When I first cam to the show,it was hard for me because I was known as the hollywood bitch,the stuck-up movie star,anything you can think of I was called"sighs Tamblyn,now a ninth grader enrolled in pulic high school."Sixth and Seventh grades were the worst years of my life.I was making up lies and rumors to get attention.I was in tears the first year were i got to the point were i went 'I can't do this anymore.'I even debated leaving the show."

It was one of tamblyn's co-stars who helped her "wake up" as the actress decribes it."Rena[Sofer ex-Lois]picked me up by my collor and lifted me out of the gutter.She was like 'Honey,you don't need to be treated that way" Laughes Tamblyn."She helps me feel more self-esteem,but i ended up getting an attitude because Rena has a bit of an attitude herself.So I started acting like her and now i don't take lip from anybody"

Another vital source of "girl power" was Amber's life mom,Bonnie,a teacher for troubled teens in a program called lifeskills.Bonnie's traning has no doubt served tamblyn well as she juggles the demands of ninth grade and her career.But Tamblyn faces even tougher challenges."My cousin,Suzanne,was in a bad car wreck"the actress quietly notes."Then i lost my good friend,Bernie(to AIDS)Rosalind Cash's(Maemae)death hit me hard,too.But the toughest of all was my Grandma Sally...my "Gram-Cracker"She died of a heart attack."

Amber spent the first painful night without her beloved grams at Sofer's house."Sally's death was hard on everyone on the show,because my grandmother used to hang out on the set.Anna Lee is sorta like my grandmother now.Sometimes i call her "grams" and tell her stories about Sally"

With Sofer off the show,Tamblyn has turned to Vanessa marcil as her new on set "big sister".Confides Tamblyn "I get alot of advice from vanessa on guys and stuff.And i take her advice because it pretty good."Alas she sighs,"The guys I meet in L.A. are not my type.They guys who like me are kinda old...17,19.Sometimes it's good to have someone older because it's a known fact that guys who are older are more mature."

Obviously,Tamblyn is pretty mature herself.In fact,her stories of life on teh GH studios sound more like collage students discussing dorm life.The actors' dressing rooms are all groupe in one long hallway.Tamblyn,Marcil,Tyler Christopher[Nikolas],Jonathan Jackson[Lucky]Sarah Brown[Carly] and the rest of the "GH KIDS" have been settled in one area.

But hanging out with some of the soaps biggest names hasn't cures her from her insecurity."I was a child when i got those feeling....now as an adult"An adult Amber?The actress grudginly amends her status "an older teenager" she concedes "When friends call me 'Stuck up Miss General' I feel like a kid all over again,but now instead of throwing a fit,i just smile and say "Whatever,get a life'"Spoken like a true diva
