Introduction
If you watched TV—particularly bad TV—in the early ’90s, then actress Nikki Cox grew up before your very eyes.
Life Story
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Nikki’s show-business career started at age 9, when she had a small part on the weekend-sitcom favorite Mama’s Family. Before she was old enough to drive, she would appear on more than a dozen other semi-good productions, including Night Court, Murphy Brown (Candice Bergen), Star Trek: The Next Generation (Marina Sirtis), The Ryan White Story, Eerie, Indiana and Blossom (Mayim Bialik, Jenna von Oy). From 1993-1995, she played Gina Williams on General Hospital, and she eve worked a couple of episodes on Baywatch (Pamela Anderson, Brooke Burns, Gena Lee Nolin, Nicole Eggert, Krista Allen, Donna D’Errico).
In 1995, as both her body of work and her body were starting to fill out, Nikki won a series regular spot on the strange-but-sort-of-funny Married with Children knockoff Unhappily Ever After, in which she played Tiffany Malloy, the sleazily dressed daughter with eyes on an Ivy League school. (It’s here where her relationships with Kevin Connolly, who played her brother on the show, and Bobcat Goldthwait, who voiced the talking bunny, took flight.) More recently, she has played Mary Connell on the NBC casino royale Las Vegas (Vanessa Marcil, Molly Sims).
Looking ahead, Nikki will be doing more movies, like 2007’s Lonely Street, and she’ll be sharing many of her off-hours with comedian/actor Jay Mohr, whom she married in December 2006. Together, the two enjoy hiking, swimming and playing Last Comic Standing: Home Edition.
