Tiffany is the self-titled eponymous debut studio album by American recording pop singer Tiffany. Prior to signing a recording contract with MCA records in 1987, Tiffany Darwish had begun working with manager/ producer George Tobin several years earlier, possibly with some of the tracks recorded as early when she was 12 years old. Initially, " Danny" was her first single released from her self-titled studio album; however the single failed to chart. To support the album and create a buzz for herself, Tiffany embarked on a shopping mall tour entitled “The Beautiful You: Celebrating the Good Life Shopping Mall Tour ‘87”. Tiffany’s tour included the singer performing in shopping malls across the United States; at first to small audiences but by the end to much larger crowds as her popularity grew.
As her popularity grew during her tour radio stations begin to play Tiffany’s cover version of Tommy James & the Shondells hit " I Think We're Alone Now". The song was quickly released as the album’s second single; Darwish’s cover of "I Think We’re Alone Now" became the singer’s first No. 1 hit both in the United States and United Kingdom. The album’s follow-up single " Could've Been" became the singer’s second No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and her first on the Adult Contemporary chart. With the help of those two singles, the album climbed to No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Pop Albums chart; replacing Michael Jackson’s Bad. At the age of 16 years; Tiffany became the youngest female artist to earn a No.1 album and also the youngest to have two back-to-back No.1 singles. Tiffany’s rendition of the Beatles’ "I Saw Her Standing There" retitled " I Saw Him Standing There" provided a final hit from the album. The album was certified quadruple platinum by Recording Industry Association of America.
The album’s final single, " Feelings of Forever" failed to reprise the success of Tiffany’s three previous singles.
Tiffany is a fictional character in Todd McFarlane's Spawn comic book series. She was first introduced to the series in issues #44 and #45. Tiffany, like fellow angel Angela, is a Hellspawn hunter. Therefore, the most current Hellspawn, Al Simmons, is her primary target. She has a long-standing rivalry with Angela, but since Angela has gone rogue, Tiffany's aim is to fill her place as the top Hellspawn slayer in Heaven's army. In her first attempt to slay Spawn, she was over-zealous and was defeated in a grisly manner. Although she lost the fight, she escaped with her life, since the still inexperienced Spawn did not realize that merely destroying an angel's physical body is not enough to truly kill it. She has not appeared in the comic since.

Tiffany (also known as "The Bride of Chucky") is a murderous doll and the secondary antagonist featured in the fourth, fifth, and sixth films in the Chucky series of horror films. She is portrayed by Jennifer Tilly in both live-action and voiceover in Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky and Curse of Chucky.
As a human, Tiffany has bleached blonde hair and brown eyes. She sports a gothic style of clothing and makeup, along with a chest tattoo of a broken heart with the name Chucky written above it. After becoming a doll, Tiffany redoes her hair and makeup so that she resembles her human self, and wears a golden necklace that says "Tiff." Her appearance changes throughout the series: her lips become smaller, her hair becomes straighter, she no longer wears a leather jacket, and she wears a different dress and new boots. Tiffany, like her love interest, Chucky, wants to transfer her soul to the human protagonist. Both she and Chucky kill people; however, only Tiffany feels guilt later on about doing so.
