Best known to horror fans for playing Anne Bowles in Lucio Fulci’s Italian horror classic Zombi 2 (aka Zombie), actress Tisa Farrow has passed away this week at the age of 72.

Sister Mia Farrow writes on Instagram, “If there is a Heaven, undoubtedly my beautiful sister Tisa is being welcomed there. She was the best of us – I have never met a more generous and loving person. She loved life & never complained. Ever. She was a 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.

“She died unexpectedly yesterday morning. Apparently in her sleep. This is a hard time for all of us who admire and love her so deeply.”

Lucio Fulci’s 1979 classic wasn’t Tisa Farrow’s only stop in the horror genre, as she further immortalized her “scream queen” status in Joe D’Amato’s 1980 cannibal film Antropophagus.

Farrow’s acting career spanned from 1970 into 1980, with other film roles including Homer (1970), Only God Knows (1974), Strange Shadows in an Empty Room (1976), The Initiation of Sarah (1978), Fingers (1978), Search and Destroy (1979), and The Last Hunter (1980).

After leaving acting behind, Tisa Farrow went on to become a nurse in Vermont.
