Tish Ambrose was a cheerleader and honor roll student in high school. Following graduation from high school, Ambrose attended college as a dance major and graduated with a B.A. After college Tish did a lot of summer stock in order to establish herself as a legitimate actress. Ambrose met legendary porn icon Georgina Spelvin in 1974 while doing summer stock in Maine and met several of Spelvin's friends in the adult industry, but decided at the time not to pursue a career in hardcore movies. Tish instead took a job as a hostess at a bar/restaurant where she met her husband David Ambrose. Ambrose discovered soon thereafter that David was an avid porn lover who knew a lot about the business. Tish and David got involved in the live sex show circuit in 1978 and subsequently got into the swinging scene. After making friends with a handful of people in the live sex show circuit who were also doing explicit adult features, Ambrose and her husband made the leap into hardcore porn in 1981. Tish retired from the adult entertainment industry in the late 1980's.
