A native of Nashville, Tennessee, Voorhies is a Jehovah's Witness.
On Saved by the Bell, she played a teen obsessed with fashion, and the love interest of Dustin Diamond.
Voorhies once dated actor Martin Lawrence, and she came close to marrying him. However, she ended up marrying another actor, Miguel Coleman. Voorhies also plays the violin, cello, and piano.
She had small parts 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.
In 1995, she guest starred in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Life Support". She has continued to act in various roles since then and her latest project is a movie adaptation of the book "The Black Man's Guide to Understanding Black Women".
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.
