Tushingham was born in Liverpool, Lancashire where her father was a grocer who ran three shops and she grew up in the Hunt's Cross area. She attended the Heatherlea school in Allerton, the La Sagesse convent school in Grassendale and then learnt shorthand and typing at secretarial school.

Her screen debut was in A Taste of Honey (1961). Other performances included Girl with Green Eyes (1963), The Leather Boys (1964),The Knack …and How to Get It (1965), Doctor Zhivago (1965), The Trap (1966), Smashing Time (1967), The Bed Sitting Room (1969), and The 'Human' Factor starring George Kennedy and John Mills (1975). She also co-starred as Margaret Sheen in the TV film Green Eyes (1977), the touching story of a Vietnam vet who returns to Southeast Asia after the war to find his son.

The Trap is an adventure/romance film released in 1966, written by David D. Osborn and directed by Sidney Hayers.

"Smashing Time is a 1967 British comedy film starring Rita Tushingham and Lynn Redgrave. It is a satire on the 1960s media-influenced phenomenon of Swinging London. It was written by George Melly and directed by Desmond Davis. The supporting cast included Ian Carmichael, Michael York, Jeremy Lloyd, Anna Quayle, Irene Handl, Arthur Mullard and Geoffrey Hughes. Some of the characters' names are borrowed from Lewis Carroll's poetry, chiefly the nonsense poem Jabberwocky: Charlotte Brillig, Tom Wabe, Mrs Gimble, Bobby Mome-Rath, Jeremy Tove, and The Snarks (the rock band played by Tomorrow). Additionally the futuristic art exhibition is held at the Jabberwock Gallery. Private Eye magazine referred to the Queen and Princess Margaret as Brenda and Yvonne (respectively).

Set on 60s Dublin, two young shop assistants share a guest house room. Kate (Rita Tushingham) is a quiet, withdrawn girl whilst her best friend Baba (Lynn Redgrave) is vivacious and confident with an eye for the opposite sex. When the two girls chance upon middle-aged writer Eugene Gaillard (Peter Finch), it's Kate that makes the first move by inviting him out for tea in Dublin on successive occasions. The immature Kate falls for the ageing lothario and moves into his home but their romance is anything but smooth as Eugene is both secretive, primarily about having a wife and child in America, and intolerant to her emotional insecurities and strong religious beliefs. Kate's father is sent an anonymous letter informing him of his daughter's affair with a married man and duly arrives at her p...

Rita Tushingham and Professor Roger Shannon talking after a special screening of A Taste of Honey at FACT in Liverpool. Tony Richardson?s film of Shelagh Delaney?s play was a critical and commercial success, following hard on the heels of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and its impact on British new wave cinema. The film was opened out from the play, through Richardson and cinematographer Walter Lassally?s impressionistic use of industrial landscapes. The canals and backstreets of Salford take on a dreamy air as Jo tries to come to an accommodation with herself and her life. Some of the imagery created a coming-of-age portrait which compares with the best such works in world cinema. Subjects like sex, abortion and homosexuality were tackled through the emotions of Jo, played impressively...
