Tamera attended Bowling Green State University in Ohio where she majored in business administration and marketing with a minor in ballet. In college, Tamera landed a small role in the play “Our Town” and was hooked on acting. After graduating college, Tamera appeared in the musicals “A Chorus Line” and “Pippin at Akron’s Popular Carousel Dinner Theatre” before deciding to give New York a try. After a few months of intensive theatre study in the Big Apple, Tamera hopped a flight to Los Angeles to try out her luck during pilot season. The gamble paid off when she landed a role in the film “the borrowers,” starring Rae Dawn Chong.” Tamera portrayed Eden Famhans, a crack-addict hooker from Harlem, for several episodes on NYPD Blue.

Last year, Tamera’s career took a nice change of pace when she starred in the family film “Our Lips are Sealed” alongside Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen; a rare opportunity for her considering the junkies and ‘white trash’ women she usually portrays. Tamera recently wrapped the independent film “What Matters Most” co-starring Chad Allen. In 1991, Tamera received the Dramalogue Award in the category of ‘Best Lead Actress’ for her work in the play “How the Other Half Loves.” In her spare time, Tamera enjoys snow skiing, ballet dancing and watching foreign films. Tamera recently became engaged to Alexander Moss Farkas, a regional sales manager for a computer-accessories manufacturer called Targus.
