Career
Masterson's performance career began as a dancer which she gave up at age 11 after being cast in The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking. Masterson started her acting career as a child actress at age 14 with her first appearance as Head Girl in "The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking", a fantasy-adventure, musical, family film based on the books by the late Astrid Lindgren. Fay originally auditioned for the role of Pippi Longstocking, but the role went to her former co-star Tami Erin. Ken Annakin liked her so much that he wrote the part of the head girl at the children's home just for her. Since then she has appeared in over twenty-five films and over thirty-five television productions. She has additionally voiced characters in several video games.
In 1986 she was interviewed by a stand-in presenter Kenneth Williams on the British tv show Wogan.
These roles include guest appearances on the television series Jupiter Moon (1990 and 1996), Casualty (1993), Game On (1996) and The Ruth Rendell Mysteries (1991).
She has appeared in American films including The Power of One (1992), The Man Without a Face (1993) and A Christmas Carol (2009). She also was in the role of ship's Chief Engineer, LCDR Andrea Garnett, on TNT's The Last Ship.
