Tisa Farrow Dies: Actor & Sister Of Mia Farrow Was 72
deadline.comTisa Farrow, a former actor born, like sister Mia Farrow, to show business parents Maureen O’Sullivan and John Farrow, died unexpectedly Wednesday morning.
She was 72. Her death was announced on social media by Mia Farrow, who said that Tisa apparently died in her sleep. “If there is a Heaven, undoubtedly my beautiful sister Tisa is being welcomed there,” Mia wrote on Instagram and X. “She was the best of us — I have never met a more generous and loving person.
She loved life & never complained. Ever. She was nurse for 27 years, a wonderful sister to Steffi, Prudence and me, a devoted mother to Jason, who died in Iraq, Bridget and little grandson Kylor – the lights of her life.” While never achieving the fame of sister Mia – or, for that matter, sister Prudence, who was immortalized by John Lennon in the classic 1968 Beatles White Album song “Dear Prudence” – Tisa Farrow nonetheless had a fairly thriving career as a model and actor throughout the 1970s.
Born Theresa Magdalena Farrow on July 22, 1951, in Los Angeles, Tisa made her movie debut in 1970 with a role in director John Trent’s Homer, costarring as the girlfriend of a the title character (Don Scardino), a Wisconsin high school student facing the uncertainties of the era including the Vietnam War.
