Tanya dropped out of high school, got married and hitchhiked around the country until her mother-in-law had the marriage annulled.

After appearing in several minor films, her first big break came when she was selected as the last Angel on the final season of Drôles de dames (1976), and was featured on the cover of People magazine (02/09/1981).
