Tisa Farrow(1951-2024)
- Actress
Attractive, willowy brunette Tisa Farrow was born Theresa Magdalena
Farrow on July 22, 1951, in Los Angeles, California. She is the
daughter of writer/director
John Farrow and Maureen O'Sullivan and the sister of
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
Sleeping Beauty (1973).
Farrow was impressive as the timid "Mouse" in the fun made-for-TV
Carrie au bal du diable (1976) clone
The Initiation of Sarah (1978)
and solid as the spaced-out "Carol" in
James Toback's fabulously gritty
Mélodie pour un tueur (1978). Tisa had small parts in both
Manhattan (1979) and
Qui a tué le président? (1979). She ended
her acting career with starring roles in three entertainingly trashy
Italian exploitation features: feisty heroine "Anne Bowles" in
Lucio Fulci's excellent horror classic
L'Enfer des zombies (1979), spunky photojournalist
"Jane Foster" in Antonio Margheriti's
Vietnam action / adventure
Héros d'apocalypse (1980)
and a standard woman-in-peril part in
Anthropophagous : L'Anthropophage (1980).
Tisa Farrow called it a day as an actress after 1980, and went on to a successful career as a nurse in Vermont.
