Tara A. Caan has remained famous thanks to her late father, James Caan, who was an American actor. Tara was born on November 5, 1964, in California, United States. Her mother, Dee Jay Mathis, married her father for five years and then divorced. She has four siblings: Nicholas Caan, James Arthur Caan, Scott Caan, and Alexander James Caan.
In contrast to Tara, her siblings are outgoing and like publicity; some are models, others actors and media personalities.
Personal Life and Career
Tara Caan has kept a low profile as she does not openly show up for public events, so most information about her private life is unknown. It is uncertain if she is married and if she has any children.
Only her younger brother, Scott Caan, seemed to follow in his father’s footsteps. Tara’s other siblings have established themselves in different careers, but details of what Tara does to earn a living have not emerged; she has kept what she does from the public.
Tara’s Father
Tara’s father is predominantly known for playing Sonny Corleone in the American crime film, The Godfather. He managed to get two nominations for his role in the film; he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards.
James Caan started his career in the early 1960s, often appearing in plays before making his Broadway debut when he featured in Blood, Sweat, and Stanley Poole. He also made television appearances, appearing on one of the episodes of Naked City. In the 1960s, Tara’s father has featured in several other films and tv shows, including Countdown, Death Valley Days, The Doctors and the Nurses, and Wagon Train.
In the 1970s, James had a great acting career, appearing in many shows, most of which were well-received. During this time, he received several nominations and awards for his great performances in movies and shows like The Godfather, The Gambler, Rollerball, Funny Lady, and Brian’s Song.
Tara’s father did not act for five years in the 1980s after losing his sister; he was depressed about the loss of his sister and did not feature in any films or shows. He returned to acting in 1987 when he felt he was broke and featured in the film Gardens of Stone.
In his later years, before his death, James Caan was featured in several other films, including The Good Neighbor, The Red Maple Leaf, Undercover Grandpa, Out of Blue, Sicilian Vampire, The Wrong Boyfriend, and JL Ranch, among others. He was less involved in acting as his health was taking a toll on him.
Her Father’s Death
Tara’s father had a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure; he died aged 82 at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center due to a heart attack and was buried at the Eden Memorial Park Cemetery in Mission Hills, Los Angeles, California.
Social Media
Tara A. Caan is not active on social media platforms since no accounts associated with her were found, but her father was active when he was alive. Funny enough, someone has been tweeting with his account even after his death, probably his account manager.
