When asked about how her role as Griselda in God’s Little Acre was similar to her own life, she said, “[Griselda] only seems sexy because she looks sexy and maybe feels that way. But…hers is a tragic story and one I know too well. Men just can’t keep their hands off Griselda, because that’s the way she affects them every time a man sees her he tries to kiss her and rough her up…. Sex is a part of her, but is really not her.”

Even though it sounds like she hasn’t dated much lately, Tina is staying active and has worked in the past few years. Her latest role was in the film Tapestry. According to IMDb, “‘Tapestry’ is the story of a man (Stephen Baldwin) in the midst of a heavy personal and spiritual crisis. Aided by his Father (Burt Young), and his family, he embarks on a personal journey that will forever change him.”
