’90s bombshell channels iconic ‘Home Improvement’ role in daisy dukes and plunging tank top
Debbe Dunning stepped out in Daisy Dukes and a plunging pink tank top while out in Los Angeles.
The ’90s bombshell channeled her “Home Improvement” character, Heidi Keppert, as she ran errands with a pull wagon in tow on Jan. 20.
She accessorized with a gray and blue bomber jacket with brown boots for the outing.
Dunning, 59, starred on the sitcom alongside Tim Allen from 1992 to 1999 as Keppert, the “Tool Time Girl.”
At the time, the actress had taken over the role as the “Tool Time Girl” after Pamela Anderson exited the series.
Anderson, who played Lisa, left the show after two seasons to focus on “Baywatch,” per Entertainment Weekly.
The “Last Showgirl” star, however, made several guest appearances on the sitcom until it ended after eight seasons in 1999.
Dunning, meanwhile, has since reunited with her “Home Improvement” co-stars, including Allen, in Season 2 of his series “Shifting Gears,” released in October 2026.
During an interview with the Post in September, Dunning recalled receiving a call from Allen to appear on the sitcom.
“I’m like, even if I was [busy], I’ll clear my schedule,” she said. “Just going back and seeing everybody from the makeup and hair people to the group [of actors] was surreal.”
At the time, the “ABC TGIF” alum revealed she and Allen have maintained a close relationship over the years and check in once a month.
Dunning also shared career advice she has received from the “Santa Claus” star, which led her to turn down an offer to pose from Playboy.
“There were times where I wanted possibly to be a little more glamorous. And he’s like, ‘No, the way you look and the way you are, you will go so much further,’” she said.
Dunning also remembered when Allen “had said something so kind to [her], telling her to not lose or get “sidetracked” from her “natural girl next door beauty.”
“And so when Playboy came to ask me if I wanted to do that … I was like, ‘I’m going to have kids someday. I don’t know,” she said.
