	Actors - Ryan Starr

Ryan Starr (born Tiffany Montgomery on November 21, 1982 in Sunland, California) is an American female singer who ranked seventh on the first season of the talent search television series American Idol. Starr graduated from Verdugo Hills High School in Tujunga, Los Angeles, CA.

An early favorite to win the competition, she faltered in later appearances especially after a "tone-deaf" performance of The Kinks classic "You Really Got Me". Simon Cowell called her out on this, calling it "dreadful". She dismissed it, calling him a "popper" instead of a "rocker". His response was, "I like rock music when it's sung in tune". She was voted out a week later after her "Last Dance" performance. From which she earned the judges praises, for turning around and delivering a great performance after last week's "train-wreck".

Shortly after her run on American Idol, Starr made a guest appearance on the popular FOX network comedy That '70s Show, leading to brief and unsubstantiated rumors that FOX would develop a show to capitalize on her popularity with young males. She also had a guest starring role on an episode of the hit CBS drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. In 2004, she starred in the third season of the reality show The Surreal Life on VH1. There was strong speculation after watching the chemistry on the show that she pursued a romantic relationship with Jordan Knight, former pop star of N.K.O.T.B. and rumors circulated they would sing a duet on her debut album.

She is said to be pursuing her goal of marketing a line of clothing fashioned after the ripped and torn garments she sported on American Idol.
