Four months have passed since Debbe Dunning's
home pregnancy test registered positive, but her
fianc�, former Olympic volleyball player Steve Timmons,
37, still seems awestruck by events. After a two-month
romance, the two were talking about a wedding--but
hadn't planned a family yet--and Dunning, 30, best known
as Heidi, Home Improvement's Tool Time Girl, can
remember to the word her slack-jawed beau's response
when he heard the news."I was working out all day, and I was wearing a Speedo, and I was in a hot Jacuzzi," he said. "It kills . . . those things." Dunning still teases him about his response. "Your Olympic sperm?" she often tells him. "I'm sure they're not going to die that easily." Dunning and Timmons have come a long way together since last January, when they had a blind date for breakfast at a little cafe in Del Mar, Calif. Neither of them was much up for the encounter. Timmons, a 6'5" USC grad and volleyball star of the 1984 and '88 Games, was still aching from the breakup in 1993 of his three-year marriage to Jeanie Buss, daughter of L.A. Lakers owner Jerry Buss. And anyway, as he told the mutual pal who set them up,"I'm not into the actress type." Dunning, also smarting from the recent end of a serious romance, was less than impressed when she saw Timmons drive up in his white Ford truck: "My first reaction was `cocky, cocky, cocky.' " Her second impression--a few minutes later--was different. "He had the biggest smile I'd ever seen," she says, "and he was so soft-spoken and humble--I had to keep putting my sunglasses on so it wasn't so obvious that I was staring." Meanwhile, Timmons, who runs his own beachwear company, Redsand, in San Diego, quickly got over his actress issue. They began dating, taking turns shuttling between his three-bedroom home in San Diego and her four-bedroom home in the San Fernando Valley. Timmons's friends were astonished by the change in him. Says fellow volleyball player Al Janc: "He'd been down and almost reclusive. Then along comes Debbe." Two months after they met, on a cool April evening, the couple went for a walk along the beach in Del Mar. "Itold her how much I loved her and how I was looking forward to our life together," says Timmons. "Then my speech ran a little long, and her neck got a little tired looking up at me, and she said, `Do you mind getting down on one knee and doing this?' " Dunning smiles at the memory. "He was crying," she says. "The sun was about to set. It was perfect timing." Dunning instantly accepted. The timing of her pregnancy, however, was less perfect. "I wanted our relationship to stay as magic as it had been for at least a year or two," she says. "I thought, `This is going to scare the heck out of him.' " Instead, she remembers happily, "I was crying,and he put his arms around me and said, `Whatever you decide, I'll standby you.' " Dunning never had any doubt about keeping the baby, but she wondered how pregnancy might affect her career. The actress had been a high school track star in Burbank, Calif., where she was raised by her father, Bob, a sound technician, and her mother, Diane, a pet-store owner. Since she had supported herself through modeling, she knew her sculpted figure was partly her claim to fame. What's more, she loved being on Home Improvement, in a role she had inherited from Pamela Lee in 1993. She was, she says, "really stressed" about calling the show's star, Tim Allen, with the news that his Tool Time Girl was with child. Allen chuckles as he remembers her nervousness. "I told her," he says, "that it was all very convenient, because I was auditioning some new Tool Time girls right then anyway. There was this long pause where she was hoping I'd say, `I'm kidding.' But of course I didn't--I left her hanging for a while." "Obviously," says Dunning, "he didn't know how emotional pregnant women can be." Dunning's pregnancy is being worked into next season's episodes, which began filming in early August, and she says she hopes other women will watch and be able to relate. "My stomach got huge right away," she says. "I was craving Der Weinerschnitzel chili cheese dogs, fresh pineapples and oranges." Timmons, too, has "put on a little bit of weight," notes Janc. "He eats and sleeps right along with her." The couple have set a tentative wedding date next May, but--since they continue to travel together between homes--they are building nurseries in both. And, they say, they'd like to have more children. Timmons says he knows what that takes--doing what he did before: "working out, sitting in the Jacuzzi and getting into those Speedos again." -- DAN JEWEL -- JOHNNY DODD in San Diego -- PHOTO BY Alan Levenson -- May 26, 1997

Born and raised in Burbank, California, Dunning was crowned Miss Burbank of
1984. She later entered and won a Miller Beer Bikini Contest in Hermosa Beach.
As Dunning won subsequent contests, Miller recognized a good thing. They put her
on a poster and began showcasing her in personal appearances. | Dunning�s first television commercial was for Foot Locker, and a plethora of modeling jobs followed. She has graced the covers of sports magazines, including Shape, Triathlete, and Muscle & Fitness. Dunning soon had more than 60 commercials to her credit, but was brought to America�s attention during her three-year campaign for Taco Bell as Louise, the "Run for the Border Girl." Last season, Dunning guest-starred on USA�s "Silk Stalkings" and served as host of ESPN�s "Extreme Bloopers." She has also made guest appearances on "Dream On," "Tales from the Crypt," "Who�s the Boss?," "Herman�s Head," "Knots Landing," and "Married...With Children." She has also participated in the CBS special "Circus of the Stars," performing in the high-flying trapeze act. Dunning�s first calendar debuted last fall. She was featured in shots on the set of "Tool Time," on The Walt Disney Studios lot, and at El Matador Beach in Southern California. Admirers with access to the Internet can bring Debbe into their own homes. Since October 1995, her images have been downloaded an astounding 650,495 times, firmly earning Debbe the crown of "Queen of Cyberspace." Dunning recently announced her engagement to Olympic gold medalist Steve Timmons. The couple is anxiously awaiting the birth of their first child, and are busy planning their nuptials for May 1997. Dunning counts skiing, skating, golf, hiking, swimming, and tennis among her favorite sports. She also enjoys spending time with her two dogs: Charlie, a miniature schnauzer, and Roxie, a boxer.

Born and raised in Burbank, California,
Debbe Dunning graduated from Burroughs
High School, where, during her senior year, she was a cheerleader and the
Homecoming Queen, and won the title of Miss Burbank 1984.
| That same year, when her parents ' vacation money was stolen, Debbe entered a Miller Beer Bikini Contest in Hermosa Beach, California, and won the $500 prize, which she promptly donated to the vacation fund. The next weekend she entered another contest, with the same result. Before long, Debbe became Miller's poster girl, and they began showcasing her in personal appearances. It was at this point that Debbe realized show business might be the way to go. Debbe's first television commercial was for Foot Locker. She also landed several modeling jobs and appeared on covers of sports magazines, such as Shape, Triathlete and Muscle & Fitness. Before long, she had over 60 commercials to her credit, including a Ford spot to the tune of "Pretty Woman," and her three-year campaign for Taco Bell as the "Run For the Border Girl." Debbe's first acting role was on the series, "Dream On." She went on to guest star in the television series, "Who's the Boss?," "Herman's Head," "Knots Landing," and two "Married . . . With Children" episodes. She also had a co-starring part in the feature film, "Dangerous Curves." She starred in an episode of "Tales From the Crypt" on cable TV, and guest starred on the ABC pilot, "Game Night." During last year's hiatus from "Home Improvement," Debbe played the barrister in the feature film courtroom spoof, "Misery Brothers," and also appeared in the ABC special, "Off Camera With Dean Cain." A natural athlete, Debbe competed with the ABC team on t he "American Gladiator All-Star Network Challenge" and defended her title as the celebrity champion of the "American Gladiators." In addition, she performed a high-flying trapeze act in the television special, "Circus of the Stars," and successfully defended her title of celebrity champion. Debbe, who lives in Burbank, California, counts skiing, skating (ice and roller), golf and horseback riding among her favorite sports. |
