Cara Buono siblings
Ann Buono (older sister)
Cara was blessed with an older sister. Ann prefers to stay out of the limelight, but that doesn’t mean she is not closely-knitted with her famous sibling. As Cara tells, she spends as much time as possible with her family members, including her sister Ann.
By the way, Ann understood and supported Cara’s interest to acting. When Cara was 13, she helped her to realize her dream and to see the actor John Malkovich, acting live on the stage. She bought the tickets for the play “Burn This”, where Malkovich acted. Both were impressed by his emotional performance and later watched him, giving an interview.
Except for Ann, Cara has two brothers.
