Kärt Tomingas (5 April 1967 – 31 January 2025) was an Estonian stage, television, voice and film actress, singer, lecturer and acting and theatre pedagogue.
[3] Tomingas began her career as a singer, primarily of folk-pop, pop music and jazz with the ensemble Park, just after graduating from secondary school.
From 2005 until 2007, she played the role of Heili Reek, an Estonian hairdresser, in the Finnish television drama series Kotikatu, which aired on Yle TV1.
[10] In 2014, Tomingas appeared in the role of Pille in the Mihkel Ulk-directed drama feature film Nullpunkt, based on the 2010 novel of the same name by Estonian author Margus Karu.
The miniseries was a follow-up on the aftermath of the 2007 feature film Klass in which two students (played by Pärt Uusberg and Vallo Kirs) commit a school shooting after enduring severe bullying.
In 2012, Tomingas had a starring role as Evelin Erikson in the ETV drama miniseries Alpimeja, which focuses on an investigation into a doping scandal after Estonia's women's Olympic swimming team are stripped of their medals.
[13] Tomingas also worked as voice actress, voicing many of the characters in the Estonian language dubbing of the 1990-1991 joint Japanese-Finnish-Dutch anime television series Moomin, produced by Telecable Benelux BV and based on the Moomin novels and comic strips by the Finnish illustrator and author Tove Jansson and her brother Lars Jansson.
The book was written with the idea to give readers the opportunity to learn more about Tomingas and the meaning of many of her songs, as well as sharing thoughts on life, nature, and childhood trauma.
