Actress Tisa Farrow, best known for her roles in Italian horror films and her appearance in Woody Allen's Manhattan, has sadly died at the age of 72. The news was confirmed by her sister, Mia Farrow, in an emotional Instagram post.

According to Mia's heartfelt tribute, Tisa passed away unexpectedly and apparently in her sleep. Mia expressed her grief, describing Tisa as the "best of us" and a generous and loving person. Tisa's unexpected demise has left her family and loved ones devastated.

Tisa Farrow, born in Los Angeles in 1951, was the youngest of seven siblings in a Hollywood family. Her father, John Farrow, was a renowned writer, and her mother, Maureen O'Sullivan, was famous for her role as Jane in the Tarzan movies.

Despite initial struggles in her acting career, Tisa landed her film debut in 1970's Homer, a coming-of-age drama set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War. Her talent led to promising roles in French crime drama And Hope To Die and the erotic romance Some Call It Loving, where she starred alongside Richard Pryor.

While Tisa's sister, Mia, achieved success in Hollywood, Tisa sought opportunities abroad, appearing in films such as Zombie Flesh Eaters and The Grim Reaper, which gained her recognition in the Italian horror genre.

After leaving show business, Tisa dedicated 27 years of her life to nursing, exemplifying her compassionate nature. She was a devoted mother to her son, Jason, who tragically passed away in 2008 after serving in the military for two decades.

Mia Farrow's tribute also mentioned Tisa's daughter, Bridget, and grandson, Kylor, who were the lights of Tisa's life. The post also expressed Mia's belief that Tisa would be welcomed in heaven if it exists.

Tisa Farrow's passing leaves a void in the entertainment industry, as she showcased her talent and contributed to the horror genre, both in Italy and the United States. Her life will be remembered, and her contributions to film and nursing will not be forgotten.

As Mia Farrow mourns the loss of her beloved sister, Tisa's legacy will live on through her memorable performances and the impact she made as a loving sister, mother, and healthcare professional.
