As Lisa Turtle on “Saved by the Bell”, Lark Voorhies dazzled the camera and now, at 51, she’s as radiant as ever. Voorhies, who celebrates her 51st birthday on Wednesday, March 25, shot to fame as the stylish resident of Bayside High School. From 1989 to 1993, she graced our screens, leaving a lasting impact for years to come.
Post-“Saved by the Bell”, Voorhies made guest appearances on popular TV shows like “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”. She also delved into the music world, featuring in music videos and self-publishing books. Today, she remains an ageless beauty, evident in a stunning Instagram photo she shared last November, looking every bit as vibrant as ever.
In addition to her on-screen success, Voorhies has been open about her struggles with mental health. In a 2020 interview on the “Dr. Oz Show”, she bravely discussed her battle with Schizoaffective disorder, a story of resilience and triumph over challenges.
While “Saved by the Bell” enjoyed a brief reboot on Peacock from November 2020 to December 2021, the revival didn’t have lasting power. Star Tiffani Thiessen, who portrayed Kelly Kapowski, expressed doubts about the possibility of a future reboot, acknowledging the two-season revival with fondness. Despite its short-lived return, Thiessen remains optimistic about the potential for other shows in her genre to receive reboots instead.
Voorhies’ journey from iconic television star to a beacon of resilience and authenticity serves as a testament to her enduring presence in the entertainment industry. As she continues to navigate the ever-changing landscape of Hollywood and beyond, Voorhies remains a shining example of grace, strength, and unwavering resilience.
