Personal life
Lark Voorhies was born in Nashville, Tennessee.
She was once engaged to actor
Martin Lawrence. On
March 9,
1996, she married actor/producer Miguel Coleman.
On May 30, 2006, Voorhies filed a lawsuit against the National Enquirer for libel over an article that included claims she had a drug problem.[1]
Career
On Saved by the Bell, Voorhies played a teen obsessed with fashion, with such brands as AAA, Dickies, Ben Davis, and others (5 for 10 was her favorite place to shop); who is in turn the love obsession of her classmate Screech (played by Dustin Diamond) who always seemed to chase after her. She had contract roles on soap operas such as Days of our Lives and The Bold and the Beautiful but quit both when she realized that she would eventually have to do sex scenes, which clashed with her religious beliefs as a Jehovah's Witness. (She was released from her contract on B&B.)
In
1995, Voorhies guest starred in the
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “
Life Support.” She has continued to act in various roles since then such as
In the House, in which she played the girlfriend-turned-wife of
Alfonso Ribeiro's character (Maxwell Stanton). Her latest project is a movie adaptation of the book
The Black Man’s Guide to Understanding Black Women.
