Kara Tointon, a striking individual standing at an average height of 5ft 5in, with a captivating glint in her deep brown eyes, defies the notion of being average. Born on August 5th, 1983, in the large Essex town of Southend-On-Sea, Kara's early years were marked by ambition, confidence, and a flair for creativity.
Growing up, Kara often made up her own words for things, and her random and imaginative moods would leave those around her in awe. If she weren't an actress, she would have attended art college, a testament to her artistic inclinations. During her teenage years, she attended a private school with only 12 students in her entire year, where she forged lifelong friendships.
Kara's journey in the world of acting began at the tender age of 7, when she started attending speech and drama lessons at school. She also participated in LAMDA examinations, entering local musical festivals, reciting poetry, and performing in plays. Her first professional acting experience was playing the role of Birgita in The Sound of Music at the Cliffs Pavillion, followed by her first paid job as one of the children in the pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Her television debut came as an extra in Eastenders.
Beyond her acting talents, Kara is a highly trained dancer, specializing in various styles, including Aerobics, Ballet, Bass-Baritone, Cabaret Singing, Choreography, Contemporary, Jazz, and Tap. In her free time, she enjoys painting, swimming, and skiing. Her boundless energy and enthusiasm make her a multi-faceted individual.
Despite her busy schedule, Kara prioritizes spending quality time with her family and friends, often taking a step back from the limelight to nurture these relationships. Her mother and younger sister, Hannah, who recently relocated to London, are particularly close to her. Kara is also an avid shopper, spending hours scouring London for rare and one-of-a-kind outfits.
2004 has been a remarkable year for Kara, marked by her appearance in Mile High and her recent return to her former role as Gina Milliano in Dream Team. Her long-held desire for a regular role in a hit TV show appears to have finally come true.
