Tamara Podemski (born October 16, 1977) is a Canadian film and television actress and writer.

[3] Her father is an Israeli Jew from Kfar Saba, and her mother is an Anishinaabe from the Muscowpetung band of First Nations people in Saskatchewan.

She is married to British actor Jamie Thomas King, with whom she launched the Blackbird Productions studio.

A coroner's investigation later determined that the death was due to brain damage caused when a hospital delayed Podemski's caesarean section.

[12] In September 2024, King announced that he was writing a screenplay adaptation of James Titcombe's book Joshua's Story: Uncovering the Morecambe Bay NHS Scandal, about Titcombe's own experience having a child die in infancy due to failures in the management of the National Health Service, which is planned for future release through Blackbird.
