Tammy Lynn Michaels was born and raised in the small town of Lafayette, Indiana where she spent her summers playing sports and delivering newspapers. Once out of high school, Michaels drove straight to New York City, where she worked as a nanny to pay the rent. In a sense, Michaels is going back to her roots playing the role of Tess, a nanny on “Committed.” After landing a co-starring role in the TV series “Popular” in 1999, Michaels moved to Los Angeles where she has since worked as a recurring guest star in the series, “That 80’s Show” and “The L Word.” Michaels currently resides in Los Angeles. Tammy Lynn ( given name Tammy Lynn Doring) was born on November 26, 1974 in Lafayette, Indiana. She is a Sagittarius, known to be freedom-loving, optimistic and carefree. Tammy was raised by a single mother and as a child wanted to be an actor. She acted in the summers during high school. Tammy's mom drove her to New York City after high school graduation where she had hopes of attending an acting conservatory. When those plans fell through, she worked as a nanny and as a waitress. While working at a restaurant in New York, she was approached by an acting scout. She landed a few jobs in commercials and within a week of moving to Los Angeles, she was cast as Nicole Julian on Popular. Michaels played Nicole Julian on the WB's series Popular from 1999-2001. Her character was the quintessential popular girl who persecutes those who don't live up to her code. After the show was cancelled, Michaels was out at a gay bar with some friends. Melissa Etheridge was there. On a dare, Tammy Lynn approached Melissa and asked her out to dinner. Turns out, the two had a lot in common and hit it off immediately. Tammy Lynn Michaels was outed when People Magazine reported on her relationship with Melissa Etheridge. : Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels were wed September 22, 2003 in Los Angeles to celebrate California's historic domestic partnership ruling. Prior to her relationship with Melissa Etheridge, Tammy Lynn Michaels identified as a lesbian, but was not out. She admits she was afraid of the effect it would have on her career. "When I was closeted, it wasn't just hypocritical and un-PC, it was also killing me," Michaels said in an interview with Television without Pity. Michaels credits Etheridge's comfort in her sexuality with her newfound willingness to be out. Michaels appears in a few episodes of Showtime's The L Word. She acts as one of playgirl Shane's spurned lovers.
