Tiffany Alonzo
Biography
Tiffany Alonzo is an American actress in television and film. She emerged from Falmouth, Massachusetts after attending Falmouth High School. By this time her modeling career felt natural and she became a Seventeen Magazine Cover Model Search Regional Winner and was offered contracts. But she saw herself as a business woman and so she took the train to Boston where she began an Accounting program at Northeastern University. One night, while sitting in her business dorm room with her accounting books and a cigarette, she made the decision to focus less on accounting and take on a Film and Television program. It seemed like this would be a nice addition to her schoolwork. It kept her busy. She used Northeastern University's Collaborative Education program to do studio theater at Emerson College and took the train to Boston Casting to work with Michael Fennimore, the Regional Director of SAG-AFTRA. She waitressed and bartended around town. One night she was working at "The House of Blues" premier of "Fever Pitch", dressed in white and gold when she met actor Rene Kirby (Shallow Hal) who shared a drink with her and encouraged her to keep acting. Then the big apple called and it was off to Manhattan to develop prestige. You might have seen her portrayed recently by Saoirse Ronan as Agatha in "The Grand Budapest Hotel" or by Rosamund Pike as Amy Dunne in "Gone Girl". Tiffany collaborates with writers and artists to create and perform engaging characters.
