Actor / Director Profile

Attractive willowy brunette Tisa Farrow was born Theresa Magdalena Farrow on July 22nd, 1951 in Los Angeles, California. She is the daughter of writer/director John Farrow and actress 'Maureen O'Sullivan'. She is also the sister of actress Mia Farrow. Tisa made her film debut in the obscure hippie counterculture drama Homer (1970). She gave an especially charming performance as sweet innocent "Jennifer" in the marvelously offbeat Some Call It Loving (1973). Farrow was impressive as the timid "Mouse" in the fun made-for-TV Carrie (1976) clone The Initiation of Sarah (1978) (TV) and solid as the spaced-out "Carol" in 'James Toback''s fabulously gritty _Fingers_. Tisa had small parts in both Manhattan (1979) and Winter Kills (1979). Farrow ended her acting career with starring roles in three entertaining trashy Italian exploitation features: feisty heroine "Anne Bowles" in Lucio Fulci's excellent horror classic Zombie (1979), spunky photojournalist "Jane Foster" in Antonio Margheriti's Vietnam action/adventure L'ultimo cacciatore (1980) and a standard woman-in-peril part in Antropophagus (1980). Tisa Farrow called it a day as an actress in the early 80s and went on to a successful career as a nurse in Vermont.
