Lisa Turtle was one of the most beloved characters on “Saved by the Bell.”
This has left a lot of fans worried about what happened to the iconic child star.
Is she still acting?
Did she get married?
Tabloids have been quick to report on rumors surrounding the star, but what’s the truth?
What really happened to Lisa Turtle from “Saved by the Bell”?
According to herIMDbpage, it was one of her earliest acting credits.
Voorhies was one of a handful of people to reprise their role on this new version of the show.
“Saved by the Bell” moved the story from Indiana to Los Angeles.
The actress landeddozens of rolesafter the show was over.
She had a 28-episode arc on “Days of Our Lives” in 1993.
She also appeared in several movies.
For the first few years of the 2000s, Voorhies was still getting steady acting work.
From 2003 through 2007, though, there are no acting credits listed on herIMDbpage.
The tabloid reported that Voorhies had been hospitalized due to a cocaine addiction.
Voorhies claimed the allegations were false and filed a lawsuit against The National Enquirer the following year.
Voorhies later settled matters with The National Enquirer and dropped the lawsuit.
In 2015, an Instagram account claiming to belong to Voorhies said the star had lupus.
A representative quickly shut down the rumors, tellingPeople, “Lark has never been diagnosed with lupus.
It’s upsetting her that people are coming out about it.
She doesn’t want to be perceived as someone faking an illness.”
The hoax made Voorhies consider leaving social media altogether.
The following year, Voorhies spoke to People after spotting other fake accounts popping up in her name.
Voorhies later ended up creating her own Instagram account, seemingly in an effort to squash the impersonators.
On an appearance on Yahoo!
’s “The Yo Show,” Voorhies was virtually unrecognizable.
Fans were quite alarmed as Voorhies looked far from what they knew her to look like.
We just had a great chemistry and it registers very powerfully (on-screen)."
Some fans were concerned that drugs were to blame for Voorhies' appearance and erratic behavior.
“There are things that have traumatized her,” she explained.
“I care deeply about my daughter and I want her to resume her life.”
Voorhies, however, denied the diagnosis and claimed her mother was simply overprotective.
“I have a strong spiritual sense,” she said.
“You caught me in moments of pray [sic].”
In 2019, she missed out on a second reunion with her castmates.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar,Mario Lopez, Tiffani Thiessen, andElizabeth Berkleywere all present at the dinner.
Lark Voorhies was noticeably missing from the reunion.
“I think so,” she said.
Elizabeth Berkley and Mario Lopezappearas series regulars, and other stars likeTiffani Thiessenhave made appearances.
“I look forward to all the wonderful moments and memories we will create together.
Thank you so much for all the well wishes and we appreciate them indeed!”
It was alsoreportedthat Voorhies' mother had filed a restraining order against her new son-in-law justfourdays after the wedding.
Voorhies and Green’s marriage was short-lived.
By September 2015, the couple separated and, by October, Voorhies filed for divorce.
One of the many ways in which Voorhies stays busy is through writing.
The actress has published three books, all of which are available to purchase onAmazon.
One book is 2011’s “Trek of the Cheshire.”
Oddly, the book’s description is littered with commas.
Voorhies also published “True Light” that same year.
Lisa Turtle … made a special stop in tonight!
Yes, The Sprain was in full effect!
Voorhies' appearance at the event delighted the show’s fans.
It’s clear that Voorhies still loves the show that made her famous.
Fortunately, though, things seem to be turning around for the actress.
Her social media posts have shown that Voorhies is filled with hope for the future.
“I hope your week is filled with happiness!”
she wrote in a 2019Instagram post.
She continued, writing, “Hope you all are having a wonderful day!
What fun things do you do to stay healthy and happy?”
On the episode, Dr. Oz shared the letter of thanks she sent him.
“It’s always so good to be understood and be able to come home!”
Hopefully, more good things are in store for the talented actress!
