When it comes to television sometimes a pretty face, a gorgeous smile, and a little luck is all that you need to break into Hollywood. Debbe Dunning is that pretty face. This 43 year old actress started out as a cheerleader in John Burroughs High School and later became a model for top tier television commercials. But her big breakthrough came when she was casted on the hit television show “Home Improvement” as the “Tool Time Girl”.

Because of the success of the television show being driven by Tim Allen, Debbe was able to ride a piece of the stardom that Tim shared by becoming an American household sex icon. Since the very first time she aired on the Home Improvement, producers decided that she was a winner and opted to keep her around for the long haul.

Because of her success on television, this opened up the door for many other venues for Debbe. She has appeared on American Gladiators, was the spokesperson for a breast enlargement drink, and her love life spruced up with American volleyball star Steve Timmons with whom she has two children with. Just a few years ago Debbe has been nominated as the national spokesperson for BioMETRX a leading company that manufactures garage door openers, mailboxes, and door locks.

It’s amazing how far this Burbank, California native has come over the years. Just one stint on a hot show set her up for long term success. No matter where she goes or what she does, she will always be known in our hearts as the “Tool Time Girl”.
