Tatyana Ali's Siblings: Facts about Her 2 Sisters Anastasia and Kimberly
Tatyana Ali has been in the TV industry since childhood, but she's not the only star in the family. Her sisters, Kimberly Natasha Ali and Anastasia Ali, ventured in the same direction, though one eventually abandoned the Hollywood scene.
Tatyana Ali started acting in the 1980s. She is chiefly recognized for her role as Ashley Banks in the beloved '90s sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," but the actress also dabbled in behind-the-scenes work and music.
She is one of three siblings born to Sonia and Sherriff Ali. Her sisters are Kimberly Natasha Ali and Anastasia Ali, with whom she bears quite a resemblance. All three sisters have been part of the TV industry to some degree and have maintained a loving relationship with each other.

Anastasia N. Ali Is an Actress and Producer
Anastasia's first onscreen appearance was in a 1986 episode of "ABC Afterschool Specials." She later had a minor role in a 1990 episode of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," as a Trick-or-Treater. She returned once more in 1994, playing Little Ashley.
In the early 2000s, Anastasia transitioned from being onscreen to working behind the scenes as a producer, with her earliest work being on the movie short "The Asstrologist: Pices." Nearly a decade later, she produced the comedy series "Buppies," which starred Tatyana.

In 2010, she started working on another comedy series called "Loved That Girl!" The show starred Tatyana once again alongside Bresha Webb. It aired four seasons between 2010 and 2014, but Anastasia left in 2012.
According to her Instagram bio at the time of writing, she's currently serving as a Commercial Inclusion Strategy Exec for Disney. Per her most recent posts, she attended the "Little Mermaid" premiere, the Disney live-action rendition starring Halle Bailey and Daveed Diggs.
