The dishy daughter of actress/drama teacher Julie Wharton, most recently seen in Infected (2015), and Bruce David Wharton, U.S. Ambassador to Zimbabwe from 2012-15, Sarah Wharton excels at dialects such as South African and Irish...and speaks with tongues in the award-winning That's Not Us (2015)--nibbling on the nipples of her longtime lesbian lover in the film, Nicole Pursell. "It's been a little dry," her character tells a gay guy-pal about their stale Sapphic sex life. "Like the Sahara, for the last couple of months." But soon 'Sahara Sarah' goes from desert to dessert--pie, that is--in the slice of life drama. Says its director Will Sullivan: "You can't put your finger on why it feels so natural"--though Wharton schools Pursell in the fine art of "digital manipulation" as they share a steamy shower...and each other...in the climactic scene! A cross between Elisha Cuthbert and Charlize Theron in looks, Sarah hit the books--graduating from prestigious Tisch School of the Arts in 2010 and the Stella Adler Studio of Acting and is now a clever contributor to the Huffington Post. "I remember one particularly painful audition that required all the actresses to bring bikinis with them," she wrote on HuffPo in 5/15. "Perhaps I could just show my half-naked rage through my words? I was dismissed...and told I was 'too aristocratic' for the part. I was tempted to reply 'Are you sure you didn't mean 'too smart'?" And her philosophy of life is pure genius: "Fuck it, right?" she says. So how was it "fucking" Nicole in that girl-girl scene? "I had a great time," Sarah smiles. "I think sex is awesome...it's the greatest pleasure of my life." Asked if she ever owned a rainbow-colored dildo like the one she used to penetrate her partner in the film, the actress replied: "I do now."
