At age 15, Farrell left her native Iowa to spend a summer in Mexico City
as a foreign exchange student. Her time away from her home town made her
yearn for life in a big city. She submitted her picture to the famed
Elite Modeling Agency during her junior year in high school and, shortly
thereafter, was summoned to New York City. Within two days she had an
exclusive contract with Mademoiselle magazine.
After spending a year and a half modeling, Farrell began looking for a
greater challenge and studied with Kate McGregor Stewart in New York. In
1983 she joined the cast of Paper Dolls. The series aired for only
13 episodes. When it was canceled, Farrell landed a starring role in the
motion picture, Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield.
In the spring of 1989, Farrell began studying with Stella Adler and honing
her craft. During this period of study, she continued to model for major
advertising campaigns and commercials. In 1990, she landed the starring
role in Hellraiser Part III. Soon after, she nabbed her current
role in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Terry Farrell is one of a new generation of actors whose career
successfully encompasses work in both film and television. She currently
stars as Lt. Jadzia Dax in the successful television series Star Trek:
Deep Space Nine.
