With Tiffany having grown up and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2016, Marla made her triumphant return to the spotlight, tangoing her way through Season 22 of Dancing With the Stars alongside Tony Dovolani, co-hosting The View, The Doctors, and Good Day New York, and attending a host of VIP charity events.The philanthropist, who herself suffered from Lyme disease as a teen, was honored for her work with the Global Lyme Alliance, and remains committed to supporting a multitude of non-profit organizations including Spirituality for Kids, Make a Wish Foundation, American Family Housing, Feed the Children, Shelter for the Homeless, The City of Hope, and Kids Creating Peace.

I don't think he cheated on me. During the marriage, I think he was there.

I have a little baby. She knows who I am. My friends know. My family knows.

He works his business and manipulates and keeps himself in front of the world.

I finally said, I can't live being carried by this wake.

I created a production company. Right now I am so happy in my work.

The problem with losing your anonymity is that you can never go back.

My personal life was fair game. And that's what hurt me.

I was homecoming queen. I was star of my basketball team.

I look back at old photographs and videotapes, and I go, Who was I trying to be? Who was I doing this for?

I've always modeled myself after Ginger.

What was a really private and nice relationship was judged and made to be something ugly.

This relationship is going to be built on trust.

When we separated, I did not want to get in a slugfest. I had to take the high ground.

I met Donald Trump in '85. I ran into him several times throughout the years. We knew we had this connection, but it wasn't appropriate timing. So we'd spend a lot of time on the telephone. By '88, I knew I truly loved this guy. Show less «

Donald and I still really wanted to be together, but I was fighting to keep what we had privately, and once the world gets involved in your life, little by little it breaks it down until you forget what it was in the first place. Show less «

Tiffany is very proud to have the last name and she's proud of her dad.

I'm happy to have had everything healed. We're fine.

When that man wants something, he'll stop at nothing to get it. And I also believed in the good of him.

When I was 18, I joined the Screen Actors Guild, and after college I came to New York.
