How old is Stephanie Faracy?
Stephanie Faracy is 72 years old. She was born on January 1, 1952, in Brooklyn, New York City, United States of America. Her birth sign is Capricorn and she is a Caucasian American female. Faracy’s birth status makes her an American citizen and allows her access to all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of one.
The actress does not disclose too much about her family background and this has led to the fact that the identities of her parents, and what they did for a living are unknown at this time. After they gave birth to the actress, however, her parents had 2 more children. Stephanie Faracy has a brother named Brian Faracy, and a sister named Peggy Faracy. Both of them are also quite active in Hollywood as voice actors.
Even though she was born in Brooklyn, New York City, Stephanie Faracy can claim Elk Grove, Illinois, as her hometown because her family moved there when she was still a little girl and she spent the majority of her formative years there. Sources close to Faracy have revealed that the old-time thespian obtained her high school diploma at Elk Grove High School after which she enrolled in Illinois Wesleyan University and subsequently at the prestigious Yale School of Drama.

As a young girl, Stephanie Faracy’s love and passion for acting were ostensibly visible to almost, if not everyone within her sphere of influence. It was this love and the passion that drove her to pursue a course of study that would aid her career development at Yale School of Drama. Having sufficiently acquired the knowledge and expertise she needed for what has now become her long and successful career as an actress, she launched her career in the showbiz industry.
Stephanie Faracy used the stage to get herself in the groove as an actress for quite a while before she got the opportunity to appear in an uncredited role of the Court Stenographer in the 1976 movie titled The Return of the World’s Greatest Detective. That set the stage for her first credited role in just one episode of the TV series titled Laverne & Shirley. Her sole appearance as Debra Lee came in a 1976 episode.
Over the next decade or so, Stephanie Faracy’s star as an actress brightened up as she racked up acting credits in movies and TV series such as The Fighting Nightingales (1978), Heaven Can Wait (1978), When You Comin’ Back, Red Ryder (1979), Visions (1980), Trapper John, M.D. (1981), Private Benjamin (1983), amongst several others.
Though not as prominent, Stephanie Faracy has remained active as an actress since she made her debut over 40 years ago, and her experience has been brought to bear on recent movies and TV series productions like Devious Maids (2016), How To Get Away With Murder (2016-2017), Sneaky Pete (2019), and Uncoupled (2022).
