Tisa Farrow

Theresa Magdalena "Tisa" Farrow (July 22, 1951 – January 10, 2024) was an American actress and model.

Early life Theresa Magdalena Farrow was born in Los Angeles, California, on July 22, 1951, a daughter of Irish-born actress Maureen O'Sullivan and Australian-born film director John Farrow. She was the youngest of their four girls and three boys; her siblings are Mia (b. 1945), Prudence, Stephanie, Michael Damien, Patrick Joseph, and John Charles.

Like most of her siblings, Tisa received a strict and mainly Catholic education. In her high-school freshman year she enrolled at the progressive New Lincoln School in New York City. She left school of her own volition in the middle of the 11th grade. She then worked as a waitress. Farrow then starred in René Clément's And Hope to Die (1972), the drama Some Call It Loving (1973), and the comedy Only God Knows (1974).

Farrow was featured semi-nude in a photo article in the July 1973 issue of Playboy, photographed by Mario Casilli.

In the second half of the 1970s, Farrow acted in the Italian-Canadian action thriller Strange Shadows in an Empty Room (1976) directed by Alberto de Martino, and starred in the made-for-television horror film The Initiation of Sarah (1978), James Toback's first feature production Fingers (1978) alongside Harvey Keitel, and in the Canadian film Search and Destroy (1979).

In Woody Allen's Manhattan (1979), she has a cameo appearance.

From mid-1979 to 1980, Farrow took leading roles in three Italian genre films: in Lucio Fulci's horror film Zombi 2 (1979), Antonio Margheriti's Vietnam War film The Last Hunter (1980), and Joe D'Amato's horror film Antropophagus (1980).

Death Farrow died in her sleep of cardiopulmonary disease, in Rutland, Vermont, on January 10, 2024, at the age of 72.
