Tiffany Darwish, popularly known as Tiffany, was an eighties teen singing sensation best known for her chart-topping song “I Think We’re Alone Now.” She also sang “I Saw Him Standing There,” which was a cover of the Beatles’ song “I Saw Her Standing There,” with the lyrics changed. Tiffany’s music was a hit during the late 1980s, and her single “I Think We’re Alone Now” reached the top position on the Billboard charts. It was famously used in an old ad for Apple.

Although Tiffany continued to sing in the years that followed, her primary focus has since shifted. These days, she is the owner/operator of a small business: a clothing store. She also tours small venues, such as coffee shops and festivals, often using her 80s fame to help promote her clothing business. Tiffany’s transformation from a pop star to a businesswoman is an example of how celebrities can successfully transition into new and rewarding career paths.
