Tara Thaller

Tara Thaller was born in 1998, in Zagreb, Croatia, as Tara Filipović, and was raised in a family with five siblings.[1] Thaller was her great-grandmother's maiden name and Tara first used it informally on social media sites, but, after her first movie role, she decided to officially change her last name to it.[2] In 2017 she finished high school and tried to enter the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb, but failed. She started working in a fast food chain and preparing herself for next year's entrance exam, but all that stopped when she got the lead role in HBO's TV series Uspjeh (Success).[2]

From the age of six, Thaller is a vegetarian.[3] She speaks English and some German and French, she plays piano and knows how to dance. She has trained skiing, swimming and horseback riding.[4]

After a few secondary roles in mostly Croatian movies and TV series, Thaller had a breakthrough with the lead role of Blanka in HBO's TV series Uspjeh (Success), aired in 2019. After that she signed a contract for the Swiss movie The Saint of the Impossible which will be filmed in New York in 2019[5], thus extending her international career which started with a small role in Ibiza the year before.

Although her career is currently focused on big screen and TV, she is very interested in theater roles.[6] Her biggest ambition is to play in a musical.[5]

In 2018 Thaller appeared as a contestant in a Croatian quiz-show Volim Hrvatsku, and in spring 2019 she won the Croatian version of BBC's singing show Just the Two of Us in pair with Croatian singer Dino Jelusić.
