This Oscar-nominated star once romanced Warren Beatty and has starred in films directed by some of the greatest directors of the past century. She has been acknowledged as one of the best actresses of her generation, and she has worked with filmmakers including Robert Redford, Martin Scorsese, Jane Campion, and Darren Aronofsky.
In addition to her Academy Award nomination, she has won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for the 1990 television film A Killing In A Small Town.
Although she has starred in numerous acclaimed films, she has also been a perennial favorite of horror fans after appearances in The Entity (1982), Aronofsky’s Black Swan (2010), and the Insidious franchise.
One of her most recent films was the well-reviewed revenge thriller Strange Darling, which was released earlier this year.
Can you guess who the 76-year-old was stopping by a Los Angeles salon last Saturday while clad in a maroon scoopneck top, black trousers, and action sandals?
It’s Barbara Hershey, who boasted to ABC News a decade earlier: ‘I don’t do surgery or anything. I think I’ve always looked about 10 years younger than I am all my life. I think being healthy [helps]. I’m not a drinker. I haven’t abused myself.’
Last year, the Hollywood hippie-at-heart – who doesn’t eat sugar or grains – played wise beacon keeper Sophie in two episodes of MGM+ sci-fi psychological thriller, Beacon 23.
Barbara also memorably portrayed eccentric doomsday prepper Genevieve in JT Mollner’s critically-acclaimed serial killer thriller Strange Darling, which was shot by Giovanni Ribisi.
On December 5, Hershey (born Herzstein) scored a nomination for best supporting actress in a film at the 52nd Saturn Awards, which take place February 2 at Hilton Universal City in Los Angeles.
The Emmy winner faces heavy competition against Emma Corrin, Rebecca Ferguson, Juliette Lewis, Margaret Qualley, Cailee Spaeny, and Zendaya.
On December 4, Bette Midler tagged the Emmy winner in ‘a little Wednesday throwback for more holiday cheer’ of one of their scenes from their hit 1988 tear jerker about longtime female friendship, Beaches.
Hershey portrayed ailing attorney and single mother Hillary Whitney in Garry Marshall’s big-screen adaptation of Iris Rainer Dart’s 1985 novel, which earned $57M at the global box office from a $20M budget.
The 79-year-old Divine Miss M told Newsweek in August: ‘I kind of would like to revisit [Beaches], but in a completely different way. I mean, obviously the years have taken their toll, or whatever. I’ve aged, the character has got to be my age.’
Hershey is also known for her roles in The Right Stuff, The Natural, The Last Temptation of Christ, Falling Down, The Portrait of a Lady, Black Swan, and Insidious.
She is also known for leading numerous horror films, including Black Swan (with Natalie Portman), The Entity, and the Insidious series.
