Victoria Tennant's journey in the performing arts began with eight years of rigorous training at the esteemed Elmhurst Ballet School, followed by two years of honing her craft at the prestigious Central School for Speech and Drama in London.
Her breakthrough role came in 1972, when she starred in the title character of "The Ragman's Daughter", a film written by Alan Sillitoe and directed by Harold Becker. This marked the beginning of her extensive television career, which would go on to earn her Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her role in the 15-hour miniseries "The Winds of War" in 1983.
Tennant's impressive television resume continued with her nomination for a second Emmy award for her work in the 30-hour miniseries "War and Remembrance" in 1988.
In addition to her screen work, Tennant has also made a name for herself in the theatre world. Her notable performances include the Santa Barbara Theatre Company's production of "Doubt" by John Patrick Shanley, for which she won the Santa Barbara Independent's Indie award. She has also appeared in "The Vagina Monologues" at the Canon Theatre and the Napa Valley Opera House, "The Misalliance" at LA Theatreworks, "Love Letters" at Steppenwolf in Chicago, "Getting Married" at Circle-in-the-Square on Broadway, and "The Taming of the Shrew" at the Westport Playhouse.
Furthermore, Tennant has also ventured into the world of production, co-writing and producing the film "Edie & Pen" for HBO in 1996, and producing "Sister Mary Explains It All" for Showtime in 2001, alongside her producing partner and husband, Kirk Stambler.
