#11292 Tara-Fitzgerald
Tara-Fitzgerald - Tara Fitzgerald was born in Sussex, England. Her mother, Sarah Fitzgerald, is Irish, and her father, Michael Callaby, was Italian. Shortly after her birth, her family moved to Freeport, in the Bahamas where her grandfather, David Fitzgerald, was a well-established lawyer. Her sister, Arabella Fitzgerald, was born there, but the family returned to London when Tara was three. Her mother and father separated when she was four-years-old and, along with her mother and sister, Tara moved in with her uncle and Aunt Caroline. Her mother married the Irish actor Norman Rodway when Tara was age 6, and the birth of her half-sister, Bianca Rodway, followed shortly thereafter. Rodway and Sarah Fitzgerald separated when Tara was seven.Taras formative years were spent moving around - a lifestyle that saw her attending five primary schools while living in a variety of locations which included Glasgow, Dublin, and Stratford-upon-Avon. Eventually, Sarah and her three daughters returned to South London, but she left at the age of 16 after passing her O level examinations, now known as the GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) exams. Her reason for taking a break from the educational process was that she was not allowed to pursue her goal of attending drama school. Tara had auditioned for RADA and the Guildhall, but she was unable to secure a placement. She now recognizes that, at age 17, she really had not been ready.Tara spent the next two years working her way around Europe as a waitress, an experience that provided her with an improved perspective. When she returned to London and decided to audition for a place at the Drama Centre, she was accepted immediately. Her training at the Drama Centre leaned heavily toward method acting which she recalls was like one long therapy session of breaking down the ego, and then rebuilding it. (Other well-known actors who trained at the Drama Centre include Anthony Hopkins, Colin Firth, Simon Callow and Pierce Brosnan).Life at the Drama Centre consisted of long days and hard work, but Tara recalls the time as being one of the best in her life. She was living at home with her mother, and working as a waitress at The Ark restaurant in Kensington to repay the bank loan which she had secured to cover her tuition fees. A theatrical agent noticed her performance in an amateur production, and arranged for Tara to audition for a co-starring role in the offbeat comedy Posluchaj mojej piesni (1991). Tara was the first actress to audition and, after the director had seen another 300 young hopefuls, the role was hers. Two weeks after graduating from college in July, 1990, Tara was at work on a major film that turned out to be a surprise success, and generated rave reviews of her performance. Tara never looked back.Starring roles in several successful television productions during 1991 and 1992 followed. Tara received critical acclaim for The Black Candle (1991), Performance: Six Characters in Search of an Author (1992), The Camomile Lawn (1992) and Anglo Saxon Attitudes (1992). Her next major step was a co-starring role in the West End play, Our Song, where she acquitted herself nightly opposite one of the legends of the London stage, Peter OToole. This success was followed by a role opposite Hugh Grant in the Australian hit film, Syreny (1993), for which the Australian Film Institute nominated Tara as Best Actress in a Lead Role.An American mini-series, Hanba i chwala (1994), was followed by the Irish film, A Man of No Importance (1994), which found Tara sharing honors with Albert Finney. Then came the two widely different television productions Cadfael (1994) (The Leper of St. Giles (#1.3)) and Mary Wesley: Rozterki Poppy Carew (1995).Tara was back co-starring with Hugh Grant in O Angliku, który wszedl na wzgórze, a zszedl z góry (1995) before she embarked upon another major change of pace by playing Ophelia opposite Ralph Fiennes in Hamlet on the London and Broadway stages. Ralph received the notoriety, but Tara received the award for Best Supporting Actress from the New York Critics Circle.Taras next success was co-starring with Ewan McGregor in the highly acclaimed comedy/drama Orkiestra (1996). Then, it was back to BBC television for The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1996), The Woman in White (1997) and Ksiaze serc (1997), all of which were featured on the U.S. mainstay, Masterpiece Theatre. Taras next theatrical film was Conquest (1998), which was produced in Canada. Back on the British side of the Atlantic, Tara starred in the contemporary Little White Lies (1998) and the Daphne Du Maurier swashbuckler (also featured on Masterpiece Theatre) Zatoka Francuza (1998), for which she received the award for Best Actress at the 1999 Reims International Television Festival.A major part in the film Childhood (2001) (which, regrettably, has never been released) was followed by the harrowing role of a stalked woman in the psychological drama In the Name of Love (1999). Radio dramatizations have included A Handful of Dust, Look Back in Anger, The African Queen and, most recently, Laughter in Leningrad.Tara has been heard as the voice of the narrator in such diverse television mini-series as Wild Thing (Animal Life), The Final Day (Celebrity Deaths), Vice - Inside Britains Sex Business (Self-explanatory), Reputations (Biographies), Omnibus: A Long Time Ago, The Story of Star Wars (TV Special) and, most recently, The Changemakers.You also will hear Taras great voice doing radio and television advertisements for products ranging from Johnsons Facial Wipes to Norwich Union Insurance.Taras recent cinematic appearances have included co-starring with Rutger Hauer in New World Disorder (1999), and starring opposite Rhys Ifans and Joseph Fiennes in Slepe naboje (2000).During this period, Tara appeared on stage in the title role of Antigone, and as Blanche du Bois in A Streetcar Named Desire.In 2001, Tara appeared as the female lead in the World War II drama, Ciemnoniebieski swiat (2001) (aka Dark Blue World), a Czech film by Academy Award-winning director Jan Sverák (Kola (1996)). She was also seen on the big screen in Nie oddam zamku (2003), a romantic comedy based upon the 1948 novel by Dodie Smith (101 Dalmatians).Taras recent television work has included a starring role in a segment of the highly-regarded psychological drama series Murder in Mind (2001), Murder in Mind: Echoes (2003). She also played the leading female role in Love Again (2003), a dramatization of the life of British poet Philip Larkin, which was telecast on the BBC in July.Tara has completed work on Secret Passage (2004) opposite John Turturro, a period drama which is set in Venice during the Spanish Inquisition, and Piecioro dzieci i cos (2004), a family adventure film based on E. Nesbits classic 1902 novel, which was released in the U.K. on October 22, 2004. During the late winter and early spring of 2004, Tara completed a very successful tour of the United Kingdom playing the role of Nora Helmer in A Dolls House, for which she received high critical acclaim. In the fall of 2004, she began a tour in the role of Mara Hill in a new comedy Clouds, by Michael Frayn.During her career, Tara has picked her roles cautiously, always seeking to play the role of a strong woman. She feels that playing characters who have weak and insipid parts do not provide her with the motivation that the role of a strong woman can deliver. She has been remarkably successful in a variety of genre ranging from historical costume dramas (The Woman in White (1997), The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1996) and Zatoka Francuza (1998)), to contemporary psychological suspense dramas (Little White Lies (1998) and In the Name of Love (1999)), as well as comedy dramas (Orkiestra (1996) and Conquest (1998)), and offbeat comedies (Syreny (1993) and Mary Wesley: Rozterki Poppy Carew (1995)). Her fine performance in the World War II drama Ciemnoniebieski swiat (2001) (aka Dark Blue World) and her recent work on stage give further evidence of her acting versatility..
