Carolyn Farina (born 1963 or 1964) [2] [1] is an American actress best known for her starring role as Audrey Rouget in the 1990 Whit Stillman film Metropolitan.
Farina was born and raised in Bayside, Queens, New York. [2] [1] Her father left the family very early. [1] A shy child, she began acting classes in grade school. [1] [2] After high school, she had jobs as a waitress, secretary, and receptionist. [1] She spent one semester at Queens College, and also studied acting at a variety of venues including the Lee Strasberg Institute. [1] [2]
She had no professional acting experience or agent when she auditioned for, and was cast as the lead in, Whit Stillman's 1990 independent film Metropolitan. [2] Her performance received very favorable reviews, which noted her sensitivity and perceptiveness. [2] [3]
Apart from a brief non-speaking cameo reprisal of her character Audrey Rouget in Stillman's follow-up film The Last Days of Disco (1998), during the 1990s following her starring role in Metropolitan, Farina received only small roles in two more films. These were a non-speaking role in Little Noises (1992), which was directed by Jane Spencer, and a small role as the protagonist's sister in The Age of Innocence (1993), which was directed by Martin Scorsese.
She returned to college after this period and earned a master's degree in psychology, and made a new career working as a child psychologist. [4] [5]
In 2011 she appeared briefly in Whit Stillman's Damsels in Distress, playing a waitress in a diner. In 2023, she appeared in the film A View of the World from Fifth Avenue, which premiered at the Bentonville Film Festival before being released to video on demand. [6]
