Tisa Farrow, a captivating and slender brunette, was born Theresa Magdalena Farrow on July 22, 1951, in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, California. As the daughter of renowned writer/director John Farrow and the talented actress Maureen O'Sullivan, Tisa was destined for greatness. Her illustrious family ties did not go unnoticed, as she is also the sister of the accomplished actress Mia Farrow.
Tisa's journey into the world of acting began with a small yet significant role in the obscure hippie counterculture drama Homer (1970). Her performance as the endearing and innocent Jennifer in the offbeat film Some Call It Loving (1973) showcased her remarkable acting skills. Farrow's impressive portrayal of the timid Mouse in the made-for-TV movie The Initiation of Sarah (1978),which was a Carrie (1976) clone, further solidified her reputation as a talented actress.
In addition to her captivating performance in The Initiation of Sarah, Tisa also delivered a standout performance as the spaced-out Carol in James Toback's gritty film Fingers (1978). Her small yet memorable roles in the films Manhattan (1979) and Winter Kills (1979) demonstrated her ability to adapt to various roles and genres.
Tisa's final acting credits include starring roles in three entertainingly trashy Italian exploitation features. In Lucio Fulci's horror classic Zombie (1979),she played the feisty heroine Anne Bowles, showcasing her bravery and determination. As the spunky photojournalist Jane Foster in Antonio Margheriti's Vietnam action/adventure film The Last Hunter (1980),Tisa displayed her versatility as an actress. Her final role was as a standard woman-in-peril in the film Antropophagus (1980).
After concluding her acting career in 1980, Tisa Farrow went on to pursue a successful career as a nurse in the picturesque state of Vermont.
