Tami Stronach
Tami Stronach (born July 31, 1972) is an actor, dancer, filmmaker, and professor.
A childhood performance as the Childlike Empress in the 1984 film The NeverEnding Story led to a record deal and music video in Germany. After receiving inappropriate attention as a young star, Stronach pivoted to dancing. As an adult, she has branched into teaching, producing dance performances, filmmaking, and supporting child performers.
David Stronach was a Scottish Christian (1931–2020). After he won the lottery, he moved to Tehran, Iran, to pursue archaeology. There, he met Ruth Vaadia, an Israeli Jew (1937–2017). They married after a 48-hour romance.
Tami Stronach was born to David and Ruth on July 31, 1972, in the Imperial State of Iran. Tami Stronach, her sister Keren, and their parents fled the Iranian Revolution to Tel Aviv, where they briefly lived with Ruth's parents. They again moved to the United Kingdom, and then finally to Berkeley, California in 1981 to allow David to teach at the University of California, Berkeley.
By late 2014, Stronach and her daughter Maya (born 2010 or 2011) lived in Brooklyn; Stronach was married to Greg Steinbruner as of mid-2020. She speaks English, Hebrew, and Persian.
In addition to her artistic projects, Stronach also followed in her father's footsteps, becoming a professor in New York City.
As a child, Stronach studied musical theatre in Berkeley. While portraying Piglet in a San Francisco stage adaptation of Winnie-the-Pooh, she was approached by the casting director for The NeverEnding Story and asked to audition for the role of the Childlike Empress. After three auditions, Stronach beat Heather O'Rourke to star in the 1984 film. What Vice described as "the Empress' quasi-British accent [...] of indeterminate origin", was actually Stronach's natural accent, a result of having lived in Iran, Israel, the UK, and the US.
Ruth Stronach lived with her daughter in Bavaria for the three-month film shoot, and afterwards declined a sequel contract for her daughter, worried about lacking the wherewithal to "help her daughter navigate the turbulent waters of childhood stardom in the film industry". After The NeverEnding Story became a sensational success, the Stronachs were besieged with unwanted attention: their home and telephone were stalked, adults proposed to the eleven-year-old with engagement rings, and she received "offers from Hollywood to play roles featuring scenes (with nudity) completely inappropriate for someone her age".
