Biography

Cara Buono's Mediterranean good looks have slated her for "ethnic" roles such as the young Diane Lowe in the series, "I'll Fly Away" (1992), whose inter-faith romance is an issue in the small-town South of the 50s, and as an innocent Italian-American hairdresser Rose Polito, the lead in an episode of "Tribeca" (1993).

Cara Buono's film credits include "Waterland" (1992), where she played one of the students, and "The Cowboy Way" (1994), portraying a kidnapped Cuban immigrant reliant on the hayseeds Kiefer Sutherland and Woody Harrelson.
