Tina is the daughter of the Grammy nominated "King Sister's" lead singer, Yvonne King and musician Buddy Cole (who passed away at age 47 after completing part of the soundtrack to "The Sound of Music"). She got her start when Warner Bros. executives discovered her at the age of 14. She was screen tested with film star Gary Cooper and spent the next four summers studying with the studio's drama coaches. At the age of 19 she was offered an exclusive contract with Warner Bros. Studios to replace actress Connie Stevens as the new female lead, Sunny Day, in the television series Hawaiian Eye starring Troy Donahue and Robert Conrad. Later, Connie rejoined the cast and they both continued on till the end of the series. In 1967, she was cast as "Katie Miller", when My Three Sons producers decided to have son Robbie (played by Don Grady) marry. She remained a staple member of the show until its final season in 1972. She was seen on many television specials, made-for-tv movies, talk shows, news and a myriad of game show appearances, including multiple Hollywood Squares appearances, Family Feud and You Don't Say as well as a member of The King Family on their ABC weekly variety show and the off shoot, The Four King Cousins. As The King Family Show ended its weekly run, the family toured the country and filmed many holiday specials; the last one being a Christmas retrospective for PBS in 2009.
