More Tara lies:

Tara claims to have worked with “retired actor Robert Reed” before his death. She was his “monologue coach” to help her get into Juilliard. She claims she was 18 at the time.
Tara was born in 1964. She would have been 18 in 1982.

At that time, Robert Reed was the lead in the show “Nurse” .

Though the show only lasted 25 episodes and two season, Robert Reed does not seem to have been “retired” in 1982
In fact, according to people close to him, Robert Reed “never retired from acting”
She claims that he died of “complications from AIDS” but told everyone he had cancer.

Except he *did* die of colon cancer, and he never had AIDs, though he was HIV positive
Robert Reed died in Pasadena in 1992, a full *10 years* after Tara was 18, though she makes it sound like she was still taking acting lessons from him.

She said he died before she got to “bring him his favorite lasagna dinner”. Tara paid him in food for the acting lessons
In the same Medium post, Tara claims that her father believed that it was foolish for her to try to become an actress and instead she should become a lawyer.

Her father was a board member of the Wausau Community Theater and acted and directed in plays

I worded this tweet incorrectly, it should say he was her monologue coach.
