Lara Wirth is one of the most talented and versatile actors of her generation. Born in 1969, she rose to prominence as a child talent manager’s apprentice in the UK. She worked with such legendary personalities as Mick Jagger, Paul McCartneys, and ex-US President Bill Clinton. After working for many years as a Talent Manager in London, Wirth ventured into acting, playing opposite British legends like Peter Sellers and Richard Burton. Following roles in films and TV shows from all over the world, Wirth earned her greatest break in the arguably best-selling book, A History of Modern Woman, as Cosmo.
Now that she has returned to Hollywood, where she is once again the center of attraction, it is clear that Wirth has redefined the height of her profession. She has been nominated for an Academy Award for her contribution to the original version of Liza Minelli’s Woman’s Night Out, a staple of Saturday night television since 1974. As a result of this success, she has also achieved numerous accolades including induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and induction into the Screen Actors Guild. It is clear that having this type of recognition behind her name and resume is vital for those who are interested in breaking into this field.
One of the other major differences between Lara Wirth’s career and those of her peers is her nationality. The majority of performers in the English speaking world today are of European descent. As a result, a background in another culture is critical to being cast in popular movies and TV shows. In contrast, if you are born and raised in the United States, there is little need to consider casting your nationality over your talents. Conversely, being of a British Nationality can be a hindrance in some parts of the world, particularly when trying to break into the United Kingdom’s creatively talented industry. Nationality is one of the major differences between the careers of Lara Wirth and her peers.
