“Fran McGarry and Eve Terry, perhaps unbeknownst to them, played a huge part in my path to my present career. Though I was just a schoolkid, they treated me like an artist; made me believe I had something unique to offer. They helped grow my confidence which I believe can take you anywhere you want to go. I am so grateful.”
Hi, I’m Frances McGarry.
Radiating with personality and charisma, I am a professional actress, author, arts advocate and theater educator with a PhD in Educational Theatre from NYU. Based in New York City, my passion for the arts fuels my mission to communicate important messages, shift cultural perspectives, and make a mark in the lives of students, audiences, and filmmakers around the world. Over the last decade, I’ve starred in TV, films, theatre, voiceovers, and national commercials, including my most recent co-star role in the Hallmark movie One Royal Holiday. In 2018, I launched First Online With Fran a podcast featuring ordinary people doing extraordinary things in The Arts. Currently, I am working on a book as an extension of my commitment to the legacy of Stephen Sondheim’s Young Playwrights Festival and its Artistic Director, Sheri Goldhirsch.

TESTIMONIALS
“For more than 10 years I’ve worked with Fran in various capacities from serving on the League of Professional Theatre Women’s Board of Directors to Oral History events at the Library of Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. She’s a go-getter, smart, and FUN –always willing to pitch in and volunteer her time and talent.”
“Fran McGarry is a longtime and valued member of New York Women in Film & Television, and I’ve had the great pleasure of working with her when she volunteered at the NYWIFT Muse Awards. Fran brings care, intelligence, and enthusiasm to everything she does, and her warm nature and networking savvy are a welcome addition to all of our community gatherings.”
“Fran’s joie de vivre is a resounding celebration for every guest on her show!”
“I often refer to Fran McGarry as my ‘Bentley’ of actors. She is a hand-made truly one-of-a-kind supreme vehicle for a character. Whenever I get a new project I make sure I have at least one powerful talent who I know I can count on, who “gets it”, understands direction and executes it to the enth of depth. This may sound overly dramatic but when you are directing and you have the pressures of time, budget and expectation then having a talent like Fran McGarry is a must. You’d be foolish not to. I am proud to say I knew this about her without even having to audition her for the first thing I cast her in. And it was the lead role! I needed her exceptional talent. And boy did she deliver! And I have at least 4 other projects with her in mind. So yeah, if you’re smart, you’ll book her.”
“I’ve known very few actors on top of their game in terms of preparation. Never an excuse. Frances is the kind of actor everyone wants to work with.”
“Frances is a true gem and one of a kind! Hard-working and always up for the challenge, she is a delight and the sweet Aunt I always wish I had.”
