If you’ve been a fan of sitcoms from the 90s and late 80s, you definitely would have remembered Small Wonder, especially for the charming robotic character Vicki (Tiffany Brissette) …remember it?
Vicki the robot, along with her family, entered our lives through the TV screens and made us fall in love with her. She may have seemed emotionless, but she did get our emotions going.
Tiffany Brissette is a former child star known for her role as Voice Input Child Identicant (“V.I.C.I.,” pronounced “Vicki”) the robot on the successful mid-1980s sitcom, Small Wonder. Brissette was born on December 26, 1974 in Paradise, California.
Small Wonder was a hit in syndication and the show focused on the Lawson family. The parents of the Lawson family were Ted and Joan Lawson, played by Dick Christie and Marla Pennington, respectively. Ted invented the V.I.C.I. robot, which was an android that looked like a 10-year-old girl. The Lawson family pretended that Vicki was the family’s adopted daughter.
Brissette acted on Small Wonder until the show’s cancellation in 1989. Unfortunately, Brissette’s carrer practically ended with the cancellation of Small Wonder.
Brissette made minor appearances on shows such as Teen Win, Lose or Draw and Parker Lewis Can’t Lose between 1989 and 1991. She also appeared in a Debbie Gibson charity sci-fi play in 1991.
As of now, Vicki the robot is a grown woman of 40 and has disappeared from the limelight. In 2007, Tiffany Brissette was working as a nurse in Boulder, Colorado.
