Tara Kraft (born 28 December 1980[1] in St Leonards, Australia) is an American actress.
Her father, Frederick Kraft, is a medical doctor specializing in physical therapy for injured professional athletes. Her mother, Emily Kraft, is a freelance painter, musician, and ice carver. Tara's parents met at a hotdog eating competition in St Louis, MO. They briefly moved to Anchorage, AK so that Emily could focus on her ice carving career and take advantage of opportunities afforded by the annual International Ice Carving competition. After Tara was born, the Kraft family moved again to be closer to their roots. They settled in Overland Park, Kansas where Tara attended Blue Valley North high school. After graduating high school, Tara attended the University of Southern California and Duke University, where she earned a BS in Computer Science in 2003. In between her acting roles, she continues to design and project-manage the development of software applications as a hobby.
