Барбара херши однажды в сказке

Барбара Херши — американская актриса. Исполняет роль Коры (Королевы Червей) в сериале «Однажды в сказке» и спин-оффе «Однажды в стране чудес».

Биография[]

Барбара Линн Херцштайн, более известная как Барбара Херши, родилась 5 февраля 1948 в Голливуде, штат Калифорния. Отец Барбары Херши Арнольд Натан Херцштайн был профессиональным игроком и обозревателем скачек на ипподроме. Он имеет венгерские и русские корни.

Самая младшая из трех братьев и сестер, Барбара была тихой и пугливой школьницей, которая мечтала о карьере актрисы[1]. В старшей школе театральный педагог помог ей найти агента в Голливуде, и в семнадцать лет она получила роль в телесериале Gidget. Получив диплом Голливудской средней школы, она нашла работу в другом телевизионном сериале Монро, где снималась вместе с Майклом Андерсоном мл. Вскоре Барбара начала появляться в таких фильмах, как
Шестеро под одной крышей, Небо с пистолетом , Производительница детей, В погоню за счастьем и Берта по прозвищу «Товарный вагон».

За более, чем пятидесятилетнюю карьеру, Барбара Херши сыграла множество ролей. Большинство её ранних персонажей были дикими детьми, но позднее она перешла к более серьёзным ролям в фильмах Трюкач, Парни что надо, Самородок, Ханна и её сёстры, Застенчивые люди и Разделенный мир. За последние две роли она выиграла награды в номинации «Лучшая актриса» на Каннском кинофестивале.

Есть сын Том, родившийся после длительных отношений с Дэвидом Кэррадайном.

Barbara Hershey (born Barbara Lynn Herzstein), once known as Barbara Seagull, is an American actress. In a career spanning nearly 50 years, she has played a variety of roles on television and in cinema in several genres, including Westerns and comedies. She began acting at age 17 in 1965, but did not achieve much critical acclaim until the latter half of the 1980s. By that time, the Chicago Tribune referred to her as «one of America’s finest actresses.»

Hershey won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries/TV Film for her role in A Killing in a Small Town (1990). She has also received Golden Globe nominations for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Mary Magdalene in Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) and for her role in Jane Campion’s Portrait of a Lady (1996). For the latter film, she was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and won the Los Angeles Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actress. In addition, she has won two Best Actress awards at the Cannes Film Festival for her roles in Shy People (1987) and A World Apart (1988). She was also featured in Woody Allen’s critically acclaimed Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), for which she was nominated for the British Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and Garry Marshall’s melodrama Beaches (1988), and she earned a second British Academy Award nomination for Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan (2010).

Establishing a reputation early in her career as a «hippie», Hershey experienced conflict between her personal life and her acting goals. Her career suffered a decline during a six-year relationship with actor David Carradine, with whom she had a child. She experimented with a change in stage name that she later regretted. During this time, her personal life was highly publicized and ridiculed. Her acting career was not well established until she separated from Carradine and changed her stage name back to Hershey. Later in her career, she began to keep her personal life private.

Early life

Barbara Herzstein was born in Hollywood, the daughter of Arnold Nathan Herzstein (1906-1981), a horse-racing columnist, and Melrose Herzstein (née Moore) (1917-2008). Her father’s parents were Jews who had emigrated from Hungary and Russia respectively, while her mother, a native of Arkansas, was a Presbyterian of Irish descent.

The youngest of three children, Barbara always wanted to be an actress, and her family nicknamed her «Sarah Bernhardt.» She was shy in school and so quiet that people thought she was deaf. By the age of 10, she proved herself to be an «A» student. Her high-school drama coach helped her find an agent, and in 1965, at age 17, she landed a role on Sally Field’s television series Gidget. Barbara said that she found Field to be very supportive of her in her first acting role. According to The New York Times All Movie Guide, Barbara graduated from Hollywood High School in 1966, but David Carradine, in his autobiography, said she dropped out of high school after she began acting.

Career

1960s

Hershey’s acting debut, three episodes of Gidget, was followed by the short-lived television series The Monroes (1966), which also featured Michael Anderson, Jr. By this point, she had adopted the stage name «Barbara Hershey». Although Hershey said the series helped her career, she expressed some frustration with her role, saying: «One week I was strong, the next, weak». While on the series, Hershey garnered several other roles, including one in Doris Day’s final feature film, With Six You Get Eggroll.

In 1969, Hershey co-starred in the Glenn Ford Western Heaven with a Gun. On the set, she met and began a romantic relationship with actor David Carradine, who later starred in the television series Kung Fu (see Personal life). In the same year, she acted in the controversial drama Last Summer, which was based on Evan Hunter’s eponymous novel. In this film, Hershey played Sandy, the «heavy» who influences two young men (played by Bruce Davison and Richard Thomas) to rape another girl, Rhoda (played by Catherine Burns). Though the film, directed by Frank Perry, received an X rating for the graphic rape scene, Burns earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her performance.

During the filming of Last Summer, a seagull was killed. «In one scene,» Hershey explained, «I had to throw the bird in the air to make her fly. We had to reshoot the scene over and over again. I could tell the bird was tired. Finally, when the scene was finished, the director, Frank Perry, told me the bird had broken her neck on the last throw.» Hershey felt responsible for the bird’s death and changed her stage name to «Seagull» as a tribute to the creature. «I felt her spirit enter me,» she later explained. «It was the only moral thing to do.» The name change was not positively received. When she was offered a part opposite Timothy Bottoms in The Crazy World of Julius Vrooder (1974) (or Vrooder’s Hooch), Hershey had to forfeit half her salary, $25,000, to be billed under the name «Seagull» because the producers were not in favor of the billing.

1970s

In 1970, Hershey played Tish Grey in The Baby Maker, a film that explored surrogate motherhood. Criticizing the directing and writing of James Bridges, critic Shirley Rigby said of the «bizarre» film, «Only the performances in the film save it from being a total travesty.» Rigby went on to say, «Barbara Hershey is a great little actress, much, much more than just another pretty face.»

Hershey once said that starring in Boxcar Bertha (1972) «was the most fun I ever had on a movie.» The film, co-starring Hershey’s domestic partner, David Carradine, and produced by Roger Corman, was Martin Scorsese’s first Hollywood picture. Shot in six weeks on a budget of $600,000, Boxcar Bertha was intended to be a period crime drama similar to Corman’s Bloody Mama (1970) or Bonnie and Clyde (1967). Although Corman publicized it as an exploitation piece with plenty of sex and violence, Scorsese’s influence made it «something much more.» Roger Ebert, of the Chicago Sun-Times, wrote of the film’s direction, «Martin Scorsese has gone for mood and atmosphere more than for action, and his violence is always blunt and unpleasant—never liberating and exhilarating, as the New Violence is supposed to be.» A spread recreating sexually explicit scenes from the movie appeared in Playboy magazine in 1972.

Hershey’s experience with Scorsese was extended to another major role for her 16 years later in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) as Mary Magdalene. During the filming of Boxcar Bertha, Hershey had introduced Scorsese to the Nikos Kazantzakis novel on which the latter film was based. That collaboration resulted in an Academy Award nomination for the director and a Golden Globe nod for Hershey.

By the mid 1970s, Hershey concluded, «I’ve been so tied up with David [Carradine] that people have forgotten that I am me. I spend 50 percent of my time working with David.» She had, in 1974, guest-starred in a two-part episode of Carradine’s television series Kung Fu. She played, under the direction of Carradine, a love interest to his character, Kwai Chang Caine, during his time at the Shaolin temple. She also appeared in two of Carradine’s independent directorial projects, You and Me (1975) and Americana (1983), both of which had been filmed in 1973. Her father, Arnold Herzstein, also appeared in Americana.

She publicly acknowledged the desire to be recognized in her own right. Later, in 1974, she did just that, winning a Gold Medal at the Atlanta Film Festival for her role in the Dutch-produced film Love Comes Quietly.

Later in the decade, Hershey starred with Charlton Heston in The Last Hard Men (1976). She hoped the film would revive her career after the damage she felt it had suffered while she was with Carradine, believing that the hippie label she had been given was a career impediment. By this time, she had shed Carradine and her «Seagull» pseudonym. Throughout the rest of the 1970s, however, she was appearing in made-for-TV movies that were described as «forgettable,» like Flood! (1976), Sunshine Christmas (1977), and The Glitter Palace (1977), in which she played a lesbian.

1980s

Hershey landed a role in Richard Rush’s The Stunt Man (1980), marking a return to the big screen after four years and earning her critical praise. Hershey felt that she would be forever in debt to Rush for fighting with financiers to allow her a part in that film. She also felt The Stunt Man was an important transition for her, from playing girls to playing women.

Some of the «women roles» that followed The Stunt Man included the horror movie The Entity (1982); Philip Kaufman’s The Right Stuff (1983), in which she played Glennis Yeager, wife of test pilot Chuck Yeager; and The Natural (1984), in which she shot Robert Redford’s character, inspired by a real-life incident where Ruth Ann Steinhagen shot ballplayer Eddie Waitkus. For the role of Harriet Bird, Hershey had chosen a particular hat as her «anchor». Director Barry Levinson disagreed with her choice, but she insisted on wearing it. Levinson later cast Hershey as the wife of Danny DeVito’s character in the comedy Tin Men (1987).

In 1986, Hershey left her native California and moved with her son to Manhattan. Three days later, she met briefly with Woody Allen, who offered her the role of Lee in Hannah and Her Sisters (1986). In addition to a Manhattan apartment, Hershey bought an antique home in rural Connecticut. The Allen picture won three Academy Awards and a Golden Globe. The film also earned Hershey a BAFTA nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. She described her part as «a wonderful gift.»

Hershey followed Hannah and Her Sisters with back-to-back wins for Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for Shy People and for her appearance as anti-apartheid activist Diana Roth in A World Apart (1988). Her character in the latter film was based on Ruth First.[29] Also in the 1980s, she portrayed Errol Flynn’s first wife, actress Lili Damita, in the TV movie My Wicked, Wicked Ways: The Legend of Errol Flynn (1985), which was based on Flynn’s autobiography. She also played the love interest to Gene Hackman’s character in the basketball film Hoosiers (1986).

Barbara Cloud of the Pittsburgh Press gave attribution to Hershey for starting a trend when she had collagen injected into her lips for her role in Beaches (1988). Humorist Erma Bombeck said of the movie, which also starred Bette Midler, «I have no idea what Beaches was all about. All I could focus on was Barbara Hershey’s lips. She looked like she stopped off at a gas station and someone said, ‘Your lips are down 30 pounds. Better let me hit ’em with some air.'»

1990s

In 1990, Hershey won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Special for her role as Candy Morrison in A Killing in a Small Town, which was based on Candy Montgomery’s acquittal for the death of Betty Gore. Montgomery had killed Gore on Friday, June 13, 1980, in Gore’s Wylie, Texas, home, by hitting her 41 times with an ax. The jury determined that she did so in self-defense.In preparation for the part, Hershey had a phone conversation with Montgomery. Many of the names of the real-life principals in the case were changed for the movie. The film’s alternative title was Evidence of Love, the name of a 1984 book about the case.

Also in 1990, Hershey drew upon what Woody Allen once described as her «erotic overtones,» portraying a woman who falls in love with her much younger nephew, by marriage, played by Keanu Reeves, in the comedic Tune in Tomorrow.

In 1991, Hershey played Hanna Trout, the wife of the title character in Paris Trout (1991), a made-for-cable television movie. In this Showtime production, Hershey collaborated again with A Killing in a Small Town director Stephen Gyllenhaal to play a woman who has an affair with her husband’s lawyer. Her husband, an abusive bigot (played by Dennis Hopper), is on trial for murdering a young African American girl. The film, which was based on Pete Dexter’s 1988 National Book Award-winning novel, featured Hopper and Hershey enacting a graphic rape scene that the actress found difficult to view. The picture was described as a «dramatic reach deep into the dark hollows of racism, abuse and murder.» Paris Trout was nominated for five Prime Time Emmy Awards, including nods for both Hershey and Hopper.

Later in the year, Hershey played an attorney defending her college roommate for the murder of her husband in the suspenseful whodunit Defenseless (1991).

Because of her frequent television appearances, by the end of 1991, Hershey was accused of «selling out to the small screen.» In 1992, Hershey appeared with Jane Alexander in the ABC miniseries Stay the Night (1992), prompting Associated Press writer Jerry Buck to write, «Barbara Hershey is a person who jumps back and forth between features and television very easily.» She starred in another TV miniseries in 1993, succeeding Anjelica Huston as Clara Allen in the sequel series Return to Lonesome Dove. She was nominated for a Golden Satellite Award for another TV appearance, The Staircase (1998). Between 1999 and 2000, she played Dr. Francesca Alberghetti in 22 season-six episodes of the medical TV drama Chicago Hope.

Hershey co-starred with Joe Pesci as a nightclub owner in the film drama The Public Eye (1992) and as the estranged wife of homicidal Michael Douglas in the thriller Falling Down (1993). Among the other feature films in which she appeared during the 1990s was Jane Campion’s adaptation of the Henry James novel The Portrait of a Lady (1996). Hershey earned an Oscar nomination and won the Best Supporting Actress award from the National Society of Film Critics for her role as Madame Serena Merle in that picture. In 1995, Last of the Dogmen, co-starring Tom Berenger, was released through Savoy Pictures. In 1999, Hershey starred in an independent film called Drowning on Dry Land; during production she met co-star Naveen Andrews, with whom she began a romantic relationship that lasted until 2010.

2000s

In 2001, Hershey appeared in the psychological thriller Lantana. She was the only American in a mostly Australian cast, which included Kerry Armstrong, Anthony LaPaglia, and Geoffrey Rush. Film writer Sheila Johnson said the film was «one of the best to emerge from Australia in years.» Another thriller followed: 11:14 (2003) also featured Rachael Leigh Cook, Patrick Swayze, Hilary Swank, and Colin Hanks.

Hershey continued to appear on television during the 2000s, including a season on the series The Mountain. She also starred as Anne Shirley as an adult in Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning (2008), the fourth in a series of made-for-TV films based on the character, taking over the role from Megan Follows.

2010s

Hershey appeared as an American actress, Mrs. Hubbard, in an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express for the British television series Poirot (starring David Suchet), which aired in the United States on Public Broadcast Service in July 2010. Also in 2010, Hershey co-starred in Darren Aronofsky’s acclaimed psychological thriller Black Swan (2010) opposite Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. The following year, she co-starred in the James Wan horror film Insidious (2011). From 2012 to 2013, she had a recurring role in the first two seasons of ABC’s hit drama Once Upon a Time as Cora, the Queen of Hearts and mother of the Evil Queen. In 2014, she reprised the role in one episode of the show’s spin-off Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. In 2015, she once more reprised the role when she returned to the show for an episode of its fourth season, and in 2016, she appeared again for two episodes of the show’s fifth season, most notably its landmark 100th episode. In A&E’s new series Damien, Hershey portrayed series regular Ann Rutledge, the world’s most powerful woman, who has been given the task to make sure Damien fulfills his destiny as the Antichrist. The role marks Hershey’s latest TV gig following Once Upon a Time, The Mountain, Chicago Hope, and Lifetime’s Left to Die TV movie.

Personal life

In 1969, Hershey met David Carradine while they were working on Heaven With a Gun. The pair began a domestic relationship that lasted until 1975. Carradine said that during the rape scene in that movie, he cracked one of Barbara’s ribs. They appeared in other films together including Martin Scorsese’s Boxcar Bertha. In 1972, the couple posed together in a nude Playboy spread, recreating some sex scenes from Boxcar Bertha. Later in 1972, Hershey gave birth to their son, Free, who changed his name to Tom when he was nine years old. The relationship fell apart around the time of Carradine’s 1974 burglary arrest, after he had begun an affair with Season Hubley, who had guest-starred in Kung Fu.

During this period, Hershey changed her stage name to «Seagull». In 1979, a blunt newspaper article from the Knight News Service referenced this period of her life, saying of her acting career that «it looked as if she blew it.» The article referred to Hershey as a «kook» and stated that she was frequently «high on something.» In addition to that criticism, she had been ostracized for breast-feeding her son during an appearance on The Dick Cavett Show, and for breast-feeding him beyond the age of two years. She said that this period of her life hurt her career; «Producers wouldn’t see me because I had a reputation for using drugs and being undependable. I never used drugs at all and I have always been serious about my acting career.» After splitting up with Carradine, she changed her stage name back to «Hershey», explaining that she had told the story of why she adopted the name «Seagull» so many times that it had lost its meaning.

By the time Hershey was 42, she was described by columnist Luaina Lee as a «private person who was mired in some heavy publicity when she first became a professional actress.» Yardena Arar, writing for the Los Angeles Daily News, confirmed that Hershey had become a private person by 1990.

On August 8, 1992, Hershey married artist Stephen Douglas. The ceremony took place at her home in Oxford, Connecticut, where the only guests were their two mothers and Hershey’s then 19-year-old son, Tom (né Free) Carradine. The couple separated and divorced one year after the wedding.

Hershey began dating actor Naveen Andrews in 1999. During a brief separation in 2005, Andrews fathered a child with another woman. In May 2010, after Andrews won sole custody of his son, the couple announced that they had ended their 10-year relationship six months earlier.

Hershey has residences in Los Angeles, Hawaii, New York, and Connecticut.

Barbara Hershey (born Barbara Lynn Herzstein), once known as Barbara Seagull, is an American actress. In a career spanning nearly 50 years, she has played a variety of roles on television and in cinema in several genres, including Westerns and comedies. She began acting at age 17 in 1965, but did not achieve much critical acclaim until the latter half of the 1980s. By that time, the Chicago Tribune referred to her as «one of America’s finest actresses.»

Hershey won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries/TV Film for her role in A Killing in a Small Town (1990). She has also received Golden Globe nominations for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Mary Magdalene in Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) and for her role in Jane Campion’s Portrait of a Lady (1996). For the latter film, she was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and won the Los Angeles Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actress. In addition, she has won two Best Actress awards at the Cannes Film Festival for her roles in Shy People (1987) and A World Apart (1988). She was also featured in Woody Allen’s critically acclaimed Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), for which she was nominated for the British Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and Garry Marshall’s melodrama Beaches (1988), and she earned a second British Academy Award nomination for Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan (2010).

Establishing a reputation early in her career as a «hippie», Hershey experienced conflict between her personal life and her acting goals. Her career suffered a decline during a six-year relationship with actor David Carradine, with whom she had a child. She experimented with a change in stage name that she later regretted. During this time, her personal life was highly publicized and ridiculed. Her acting career was not well established until she separated from Carradine and changed her stage name back to Hershey. Later in her career, she began to keep her personal life private.

Early life

Barbara Herzstein was born in Hollywood, the daughter of Arnold Nathan Herzstein (1906-1981), a horse-racing columnist, and Melrose Herzstein (née Moore) (1917-2008). Her father’s parents were Jews who had emigrated from Hungary and Russia respectively, while her mother, a native of Arkansas, was a Presbyterian of Irish descent.

The youngest of three children, Barbara always wanted to be an actress, and her family nicknamed her «Sarah Bernhardt.» She was shy in school and so quiet that people thought she was deaf. By the age of 10, she proved herself to be an «A» student. Her high-school drama coach helped her find an agent, and in 1965, at age 17, she landed a role on Sally Field’s television series Gidget. Barbara said that she found Field to be very supportive of her in her first acting role. According to The New York Times All Movie Guide, Barbara graduated from Hollywood High School in 1966, but David Carradine, in his autobiography, said she dropped out of high school after she began acting.

Career

1960s

Hershey’s acting debut, three episodes of Gidget, was followed by the short-lived television series The Monroes (1966), which also featured Michael Anderson, Jr. By this point, she had adopted the stage name «Barbara Hershey». Although Hershey said the series helped her career, she expressed some frustration with her role, saying: «One week I was strong, the next, weak». While on the series, Hershey garnered several other roles, including one in Doris Day’s final feature film, With Six You Get Eggroll.

In 1969, Hershey co-starred in the Glenn Ford Western Heaven with a Gun. On the set, she met and began a romantic relationship with actor David Carradine, who later starred in the television series Kung Fu (see Personal life). In the same year, she acted in the controversial drama Last Summer, which was based on Evan Hunter’s eponymous novel. In this film, Hershey played Sandy, the «heavy» who influences two young men (played by Bruce Davison and Richard Thomas) to rape another girl, Rhoda (played by Catherine Burns). Though the film, directed by Frank Perry, received an X rating for the graphic rape scene, Burns earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her performance.

During the filming of Last Summer, a seagull was killed. «In one scene,» Hershey explained, «I had to throw the bird in the air to make her fly. We had to reshoot the scene over and over again. I could tell the bird was tired. Finally, when the scene was finished, the director, Frank Perry, told me the bird had broken her neck on the last throw.» Hershey felt responsible for the bird’s death and changed her stage name to «Seagull» as a tribute to the creature. «I felt her spirit enter me,» she later explained. «It was the only moral thing to do.» The name change was not positively received. When she was offered a part opposite Timothy Bottoms in The Crazy World of Julius Vrooder (1974) (or Vrooder’s Hooch), Hershey had to forfeit half her salary, $25,000, to be billed under the name «Seagull» because the producers were not in favor of the billing.

1970s

In 1970, Hershey played Tish Grey in The Baby Maker, a film that explored surrogate motherhood. Criticizing the directing and writing of James Bridges, critic Shirley Rigby said of the «bizarre» film, «Only the performances in the film save it from being a total travesty.» Rigby went on to say, «Barbara Hershey is a great little actress, much, much more than just another pretty face.»

Hershey once said that starring in Boxcar Bertha (1972) «was the most fun I ever had on a movie.» The film, co-starring Hershey’s domestic partner, David Carradine, and produced by Roger Corman, was Martin Scorsese’s first Hollywood picture. Shot in six weeks on a budget of $600,000, Boxcar Bertha was intended to be a period crime drama similar to Corman’s Bloody Mama (1970) or Bonnie and Clyde (1967). Although Corman publicized it as an exploitation piece with plenty of sex and violence, Scorsese’s influence made it «something much more.» Roger Ebert, of the Chicago Sun-Times, wrote of the film’s direction, «Martin Scorsese has gone for mood and atmosphere more than for action, and his violence is always blunt and unpleasant—never liberating and exhilarating, as the New Violence is supposed to be.» A spread recreating sexually explicit scenes from the movie appeared in Playboy magazine in 1972.

Hershey’s experience with Scorsese was extended to another major role for her 16 years later in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) as Mary Magdalene. During the filming of Boxcar Bertha, Hershey had introduced Scorsese to the Nikos Kazantzakis novel on which the latter film was based. That collaboration resulted in an Academy Award nomination for the director and a Golden Globe nod for Hershey.

By the mid 1970s, Hershey concluded, «I’ve been so tied up with David [Carradine] that people have forgotten that I am me. I spend 50 percent of my time working with David.» She had, in 1974, guest-starred in a two-part episode of Carradine’s television series Kung Fu. She played, under the direction of Carradine, a love interest to his character, Kwai Chang Caine, during his time at the Shaolin temple. She also appeared in two of Carradine’s independent directorial projects, You and Me (1975) and Americana (1983), both of which had been filmed in 1973. Her father, Arnold Herzstein, also appeared in Americana.

She publicly acknowledged the desire to be recognized in her own right. Later, in 1974, she did just that, winning a Gold Medal at the Atlanta Film Festival for her role in the Dutch-produced film Love Comes Quietly.

Later in the decade, Hershey starred with Charlton Heston in The Last Hard Men (1976). She hoped the film would revive her career after the damage she felt it had suffered while she was with Carradine, believing that the hippie label she had been given was a career impediment. By this time, she had shed Carradine and her «Seagull» pseudonym. Throughout the rest of the 1970s, however, she was appearing in made-for-TV movies that were described as «forgettable,» like Flood! (1976), Sunshine Christmas (1977), and The Glitter Palace (1977), in which she played a lesbian.

1980s

Hershey landed a role in Richard Rush’s The Stunt Man (1980), marking a return to the big screen after four years and earning her critical praise. Hershey felt that she would be forever in debt to Rush for fighting with financiers to allow her a part in that film. She also felt The Stunt Man was an important transition for her, from playing girls to playing women.

Some of the «women roles» that followed The Stunt Man included the horror movie The Entity (1982); Philip Kaufman’s The Right Stuff (1983), in which she played Glennis Yeager, wife of test pilot Chuck Yeager; and The Natural (1984), in which she shot Robert Redford’s character, inspired by a real-life incident where Ruth Ann Steinhagen shot ballplayer Eddie Waitkus. For the role of Harriet Bird, Hershey had chosen a particular hat as her «anchor». Director Barry Levinson disagreed with her choice, but she insisted on wearing it. Levinson later cast Hershey as the wife of Danny DeVito’s character in the comedy Tin Men (1987).

In 1986, Hershey left her native California and moved with her son to Manhattan. Three days later, she met briefly with Woody Allen, who offered her the role of Lee in Hannah and Her Sisters (1986). In addition to a Manhattan apartment, Hershey bought an antique home in rural Connecticut. The Allen picture won three Academy Awards and a Golden Globe. The film also earned Hershey a BAFTA nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. She described her part as «a wonderful gift.»

Hershey followed Hannah and Her Sisters with back-to-back wins for Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for Shy People and for her appearance as anti-apartheid activist Diana Roth in A World Apart (1988). Her character in the latter film was based on Ruth First.[29] Also in the 1980s, she portrayed Errol Flynn’s first wife, actress Lili Damita, in the TV movie My Wicked, Wicked Ways: The Legend of Errol Flynn (1985), which was based on Flynn’s autobiography. She also played the love interest to Gene Hackman’s character in the basketball film Hoosiers (1986).

Barbara Cloud of the Pittsburgh Press gave attribution to Hershey for starting a trend when she had collagen injected into her lips for her role in Beaches (1988). Humorist Erma Bombeck said of the movie, which also starred Bette Midler, «I have no idea what Beaches was all about. All I could focus on was Barbara Hershey’s lips. She looked like she stopped off at a gas station and someone said, ‘Your lips are down 30 pounds. Better let me hit ’em with some air.'»

1990s

In 1990, Hershey won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Special for her role as Candy Morrison in A Killing in a Small Town, which was based on Candy Montgomery’s acquittal for the death of Betty Gore. Montgomery had killed Gore on Friday, June 13, 1980, in Gore’s Wylie, Texas, home, by hitting her 41 times with an ax. The jury determined that she did so in self-defense.In preparation for the part, Hershey had a phone conversation with Montgomery. Many of the names of the real-life principals in the case were changed for the movie. The film’s alternative title was Evidence of Love, the name of a 1984 book about the case.

Also in 1990, Hershey drew upon what Woody Allen once described as her «erotic overtones,» portraying a woman who falls in love with her much younger nephew, by marriage, played by Keanu Reeves, in the comedic Tune in Tomorrow.

In 1991, Hershey played Hanna Trout, the wife of the title character in Paris Trout (1991), a made-for-cable television movie. In this Showtime production, Hershey collaborated again with A Killing in a Small Town director Stephen Gyllenhaal to play a woman who has an affair with her husband’s lawyer. Her husband, an abusive bigot (played by Dennis Hopper), is on trial for murdering a young African American girl. The film, which was based on Pete Dexter’s 1988 National Book Award-winning novel, featured Hopper and Hershey enacting a graphic rape scene that the actress found difficult to view. The picture was described as a «dramatic reach deep into the dark hollows of racism, abuse and murder.» Paris Trout was nominated for five Prime Time Emmy Awards, including nods for both Hershey and Hopper.

Later in the year, Hershey played an attorney defending her college roommate for the murder of her husband in the suspenseful whodunit Defenseless (1991).

Because of her frequent television appearances, by the end of 1991, Hershey was accused of «selling out to the small screen.» In 1992, Hershey appeared with Jane Alexander in the ABC miniseries Stay the Night (1992), prompting Associated Press writer Jerry Buck to write, «Barbara Hershey is a person who jumps back and forth between features and television very easily.» She starred in another TV miniseries in 1993, succeeding Anjelica Huston as Clara Allen in the sequel series Return to Lonesome Dove. She was nominated for a Golden Satellite Award for another TV appearance, The Staircase (1998). Between 1999 and 2000, she played Dr. Francesca Alberghetti in 22 season-six episodes of the medical TV drama Chicago Hope.

Hershey co-starred with Joe Pesci as a nightclub owner in the film drama The Public Eye (1992) and as the estranged wife of homicidal Michael Douglas in the thriller Falling Down (1993). Among the other feature films in which she appeared during the 1990s was Jane Campion’s adaptation of the Henry James novel The Portrait of a Lady (1996). Hershey earned an Oscar nomination and won the Best Supporting Actress award from the National Society of Film Critics for her role as Madame Serena Merle in that picture. In 1995, Last of the Dogmen, co-starring Tom Berenger, was released through Savoy Pictures. In 1999, Hershey starred in an independent film called Drowning on Dry Land; during production she met co-star Naveen Andrews, with whom she began a romantic relationship that lasted until 2010.

2000s

In 2001, Hershey appeared in the psychological thriller Lantana. She was the only American in a mostly Australian cast, which included Kerry Armstrong, Anthony LaPaglia, and Geoffrey Rush. Film writer Sheila Johnson said the film was «one of the best to emerge from Australia in years.» Another thriller followed: 11:14 (2003) also featured Rachael Leigh Cook, Patrick Swayze, Hilary Swank, and Colin Hanks.

Hershey continued to appear on television during the 2000s, including a season on the series The Mountain. She also starred as Anne Shirley as an adult in Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning (2008), the fourth in a series of made-for-TV films based on the character, taking over the role from Megan Follows.

2010s

Hershey appeared as an American actress, Mrs. Hubbard, in an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express for the British television series Poirot (starring David Suchet), which aired in the United States on Public Broadcast Service in July 2010. Also in 2010, Hershey co-starred in Darren Aronofsky’s acclaimed psychological thriller Black Swan (2010) opposite Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. The following year, she co-starred in the James Wan horror film Insidious (2011). From 2012 to 2013, she had a recurring role in the first two seasons of ABC’s hit drama Once Upon a Time as Cora, the Queen of Hearts and mother of the Evil Queen. In 2014, she reprised the role in one episode of the show’s spin-off Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. In 2015, she once more reprised the role when she returned to the show for an episode of its fourth season, and in 2016, she appeared again for two episodes of the show’s fifth season, most notably its landmark 100th episode. In A&E’s new series Damien, Hershey portrayed series regular Ann Rutledge, the world’s most powerful woman, who has been given the task to make sure Damien fulfills his destiny as the Antichrist. The role marks Hershey’s latest TV gig following Once Upon a Time, The Mountain, Chicago Hope, and Lifetime’s Left to Die TV movie.

Personal life

In 1969, Hershey met David Carradine while they were working on Heaven With a Gun. The pair began a domestic relationship that lasted until 1975. Carradine said that during the rape scene in that movie, he cracked one of Barbara’s ribs. They appeared in other films together including Martin Scorsese’s Boxcar Bertha. In 1972, the couple posed together in a nude Playboy spread, recreating some sex scenes from Boxcar Bertha. Later in 1972, Hershey gave birth to their son, Free, who changed his name to Tom when he was nine years old. The relationship fell apart around the time of Carradine’s 1974 burglary arrest, after he had begun an affair with Season Hubley, who had guest-starred in Kung Fu.

During this period, Hershey changed her stage name to «Seagull». In 1979, a blunt newspaper article from the Knight News Service referenced this period of her life, saying of her acting career that «it looked as if she blew it.» The article referred to Hershey as a «kook» and stated that she was frequently «high on something.» In addition to that criticism, she had been ostracized for breast-feeding her son during an appearance on The Dick Cavett Show, and for breast-feeding him beyond the age of two years. She said that this period of her life hurt her career; «Producers wouldn’t see me because I had a reputation for using drugs and being undependable. I never used drugs at all and I have always been serious about my acting career.» After splitting up with Carradine, she changed her stage name back to «Hershey», explaining that she had told the story of why she adopted the name «Seagull» so many times that it had lost its meaning.

By the time Hershey was 42, she was described by columnist Luaina Lee as a «private person who was mired in some heavy publicity when she first became a professional actress.» Yardena Arar, writing for the Los Angeles Daily News, confirmed that Hershey had become a private person by 1990.

On August 8, 1992, Hershey married artist Stephen Douglas. The ceremony took place at her home in Oxford, Connecticut, where the only guests were their two mothers and Hershey’s then 19-year-old son, Tom (né Free) Carradine. The couple separated and divorced one year after the wedding.

Hershey began dating actor Naveen Andrews in 1999. During a brief separation in 2005, Andrews fathered a child with another woman. In May 2010, after Andrews won sole custody of his son, the couple announced that they had ended their 10-year relationship six months earlier.

Hershey has residences in Los Angeles, Hawaii, New York, and Connecticut.

Barbara Lynn Herzstein, better known as Barbara Hershey (born February 5, 1948), is an American actress. In a career spanning more than 50 years, she has played a variety of roles on television and in cinema in several genres, including westerns and comedies. She began acting at age 17 in 1965 but did not achieve widespread critical acclaim until the 1980s. By that time, the Chicago Tribune referred to her as «one of America’s finest actresses».[2]

Hershey won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries/TV Film for her role in A Killing in a Small Town (1990). She received Golden Globe nominations for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Mary Magdalene in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) and for her role in The Portrait of a Lady (1996). For the latter film, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and won the Los Angeles Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actress. She has won two Best Actress awards at the Cannes Film Festival for her roles in Shy People (1987) and A World Apart (1988). She was featured in Woody Allen’s Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), for which she was nominated for the British Academy Film Award for Best Supporting Actress and Garry Marshall’s melodrama Beaches (1988), and she earned a second British Academy Film Award nomination for Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan (2010).

Establishing a reputation early in her career as a hippie, Hershey experienced conflict between her personal life and her acting goals. Her career suffered a decline during a six-year relationship with actor David Carradine, with whom she had a child. She experimented with a change in stage name to Barbara Seagull. During this time, her personal life was highly publicized and ridiculed.[3] Her acting career was not well established until she separated from Carradine and changed her stage name back to Hershey.[4][5] Later in her career, she began to keep her personal life private.[3][6]

Early life[edit]

Barbara Herzstein was born in Hollywood, the daughter of Arnold Nathan Herzstein, a horse-racing columnist, and Melrose Herzstein (née Moore).[7] Her father’s parents were Jewish emigrants from Hungary and Russia,[8] while her mother, a native of Arkansas, was a Presbyterian of Scots-Irish descent.[9][10]

The youngest of three children, Barbara always wanted to be an actress, and her family nicknamed her «Sarah Bernhardt». She was shy in school and so quiet that people thought she was deaf. By the age of ten, she proved herself to be an «A» student. Her high-school drama coach helped her find an agent, and in 1965, at age 17, she landed a role on Sally Field’s television series Gidget. Barbara said that she found Field to be very supportive of her in her first acting role.[11] According to The New York Times All Movie Guide, Barbara graduated from Hollywood High School in 1966,[12] but David Carradine, in his autobiography, said she dropped out of high school after she began acting.[7]

Career[edit]

1960s[edit]

Hershey’s acting debut, three episodes of Gidget, was followed by the short-lived television series The Monroes (1966), which also featured Michael Anderson, Jr. By this point, she had adopted the stage name «Barbara Hershey».[13] Although Hershey said the series helped her career, she expressed some frustration with her role, saying: «One week I was strong, the next, weak».[14] While on the series, Hershey garnered several other roles, including one in Doris Day’s final feature film, With Six You Get Eggroll.[14]

In 1968, Hershey worked in the 1969 Glenn Ford Western Heaven with a Gun. On the set, she met and began a romantic relationship with actor David Carradine,[7] who later starred in the television series Kung Fu (see Personal life). In the same year, she acted in the controversial drama Last Summer, which was based on Evan Hunter’s eponymous novel. In this film, Hershey played Sandy, the «heavy» who influences two young men (played by Bruce Davison and Richard Thomas) to rape another girl, Rhoda (played by Catherine Burns). Though the film, directed by Frank Perry, received an X rating for the graphic rape scene, Burns earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her performance.[15]

During the filming of Last Summer, a seagull was killed. «In one scene,» Hershey explained, «I had to throw the bird in the air to make her fly. We had to reshoot the scene over and over again. I could tell the bird was tired. Finally, when the scene was finished, the director, Frank Perry, told me the bird had broken her neck on the last throw.»[16] Hershey felt responsible for the bird’s death and changed her stage name to «Seagull» as a tribute to the creature. «I felt her spirit enter me,» she later explained. «It was the only moral thing to do.»[11] The name change was not positively received. When she was offered a part opposite Timothy Bottoms in The Crazy World of Julius Vrooder (1974) (or Vrooder’s Hooch), Hershey had to forfeit half her salary, $25,000, to be billed under the name «Seagull» because the producers were not in favor of the billing.[16][17]

1970s[edit]

In 1970, Hershey played Tish Grey in The Baby Maker, a film that explored surrogate motherhood. Criticizing the directing and writing of James Bridges, critic Shirley Rigby said of the «bizarre» film, «Only the performances in the film save it from being a total travesty.» Rigby went on to say, «Barbara Hershey is a great little actress, much, much more than just another pretty face.»[18]

Hershey once said that starring in Boxcar Bertha (1972) «was the most fun I ever had on a movie.»[19] The film, co-starring Hershey’s domestic partner, David Carradine, and produced by Roger Corman, was Martin Scorsese’s first Hollywood picture. Shot in six weeks on a budget of $600,000, Boxcar Bertha was intended to be a period crime drama similar to Corman’s Bloody Mama (1970) or Bonnie and Clyde (1967). Although Corman publicized it as an exploitation piece with plenty of sex and violence, Scorsese’s influence made it «something much more».[19] Roger Ebert, of the Chicago Sun-Times, wrote of the film’s direction, «Martin Scorsese has gone for mood and atmosphere more than for action, and his violence is always blunt and unpleasant—never liberating and exhilarating, as the New Violence is supposed to be.»[19] A spread recreating sexually explicit scenes from the movie appeared in Playboy magazine in 1972.[19][20]

Hershey’s experience with Scorsese was extended to another major role for her 16 years later in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) as Mary Magdalene. During the filming of Boxcar Bertha, Hershey had introduced Scorsese to the Nikos Kazantzakis novel on which the latter film was based.[18][19] That collaboration resulted in an Academy Award nomination for the director[21] and a Golden Globe nod for Hershey.

By the mid-1970s, Hershey concluded, «I’ve been so tied up with David [Carradine] that people have forgotten that I am me. I spend 50 percent of my time working with David.»[4] She had, in 1974, guest-starred in a two-part episode of Carradine’s television series Kung Fu. She played, under the direction of Carradine, a love interest to his character, Kwai Chang Caine, during his time at the Shaolin temple. She also appeared in two of Carradine’s independent directorial projects, You and Me (1975) and Americana (1983), both of which had been filmed in 1973.[5] Her father, Arnold Herzstein, also appeared in Americana.

She publicly acknowledged the desire to be recognized in her own right. Later, in 1974, she did just that, winning a gold medal at the Atlanta Film Festival for her role in the Dutch-produced film Love Comes Quietly.[4]

Later in the decade, Hershey starred with Charlton Heston in The Last Hard Men (1976). She hoped the film would revive her career after the damage she felt it had suffered while she was with Carradine, believing that the hippie label she had been given was a career impediment. By this time, she had shed Carradine and her «Seagull» pseudonym.[22] Throughout the rest of the 1970s, however, she was appearing in made-for-TV movies that were described as «forgettable»,[23] like Flood! (1976), Sunshine Christmas (1977), and The Glitter Palace (1977), in which she played a lesbian.[24]

1980s[edit]

Hershey landed a role in Richard Rush’s The Stunt Man (1980), marking a return to the big screen after four years[11] and earning her critical praise.[25] Hershey felt that she would be forever in debt to Rush for fighting with financiers to allow her a part in that film.[23] She also felt The Stunt Man was an important transition for her, from playing girls to playing women.[23]

Some of the «women roles» that followed The Stunt Man included the horror movie The Entity (1982); Philip Kaufman’s The Right Stuff (1983), in which she played Glennis Yeager, wife of test pilot Chuck Yeager; and The Natural (1984), in which she shot Robert Redford’s character, inspired by a real-life incident where Ruth Ann Steinhagen shot ballplayer Eddie Waitkus.[26] For the role of Harriet Bird, Hershey had chosen a particular hat as her «anchor».[23] Director Barry Levinson disagreed with her choice, but she insisted on wearing it. Levinson later cast Hershey as the wife of Danny DeVito’s character in the comedy Tin Men (1987).[23]

In 1986, Hershey left her native California and moved with her son to Manhattan. Three days later, she met briefly with Woody Allen, who offered her the role of Lee in Hannah and Her Sisters (1986). In addition to a Manhattan apartment, Hershey bought an antique home in rural Connecticut.[27] The Allen picture won three Academy Awards and a Golden Globe. The film also earned Hershey a BAFTA nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. She described her part as «a wonderful gift».[23]

Hershey followed Hannah and Her Sisters with back-to-back wins for Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for Shy People[3][28] and for her appearance as anti-apartheid activist Diana Roth in A World Apart (1988).[3] Her character in the latter film was based on Ruth First.[29] Also in the 1980s, she portrayed Errol Flynn’s first wife, actress Lili Damita, in the TV movie adaptation of My Wicked, Wicked Ways: The Legend of Errol Flynn (1985), which was based on Flynn’s autobiography. She also played the love interest to Gene Hackman’s character in the basketball film Hoosiers (1986).

Barbara Cloud of the Pittsburgh Press gave attribution to Hershey for starting a trend when she had collagen injected into her lips for her role in Beaches (1988).[30] Humorist Erma Bombeck said of the movie, which also starred Bette Midler, «I have no idea what Beaches was all about. All I could focus on was Barbara Hershey’s lips. She looked like she stopped off at a gas station and someone said, ‘Your lips are down 30 pounds. Better let me hit ’em with some air.«[31]

1990s[edit]

In 1990, Hershey won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Special for her role as Candy Morrison in A Killing in a Small Town, which was based on Candy Montgomery’s acquittal for the death of Betty Gore. Montgomery had killed Gore on Friday, June 13, 1980, in Gore’s Wylie, Texas, home, by hitting her 41 times with an ax. The jury determined that she did so in self-defense.[32] In preparation for the part, Hershey had a phone conversation with Montgomery.[33] Many of the names of the real-life principals in the case were changed for the movie. The film’s alternative title was Evidence of Love, the name of a 1984 book about the case.[34]

Also in 1990, Hershey drew upon what Woody Allen once described as her «erotic overtones»,[35] portraying a woman who falls in love with her much younger nephew by marriage, played by Keanu Reeves, in the comedic Tune in Tomorrow.[35]

In 1991, Hershey played Hanna Trout, the wife of the title character in Paris Trout (1991), a made-for-cable television movie. In this Showtime production, Hershey collaborated again with A Killing in a Small Town director Stephen Gyllenhaal to play a woman who has an affair with her husband’s lawyer. Her husband, an abusive bigot (played by Dennis Hopper), is on trial for murdering a young African American girl.[36] The film, which was based on Pete Dexter’s 1988 National Book Award-winning novel, featured Hopper and Hershey enacting a graphic rape scene that the actress found difficult to view. The picture was described as a «dramatic reach deep into the dark hollows of racism, abuse and murder.»[37] Paris Trout was nominated for five Prime Time Emmy Awards, including nods for both Hershey and Hopper.

Later in the year, Hershey played an attorney defending her college roommate for the murder of her husband in the suspenseful whodunit Defenseless (1991).[38]

Because of her frequent television appearances, by the end of 1991, Hershey was accused of «selling out to the small screen».[38] In 1992, Hershey appeared with Jane Alexander in the ABC miniseries Stay the Night (1992), prompting Associated Press writer Jerry Buck to write, «Barbara Hershey is a person who jumps back and forth between features and television very easily.»[39] She starred in another TV miniseries in 1993, succeeding Anjelica Huston as Clara Allen in the sequel series Return to Lonesome Dove.[40] She was nominated for a Golden Satellite Award for another TV appearance, The Staircase (1998). Between 1999 and 2000, she played Dr. Francesca Alberghetti in 22 season-six episodes of the medical TV drama Chicago Hope.[41]

Hershey co-starred with Joe Pesci as a nightclub owner in the film drama The Public Eye (1992) and as the abused estranged wife of a homicidal Michael Douglas in the thriller Falling Down (1993). Among the other feature films in which she appeared during the 1990s was Jane Campion’s adaptation of the Henry James novel The Portrait of a Lady (1996). Hershey earned an Oscar nomination[42] and won the Best Supporting Actress award from the National Society of Film Critics for her role as Madame Serena Merle in that picture.[43] In 1995, Last of the Dogmen, co-starring Tom Berenger, was released through Savoy Pictures. In 1999, Hershey starred in an independent film called Drowning on Dry Land; during production she met co-star Naveen Andrews, with whom she began a romantic relationship that lasted until 2010.[44]

2000s[edit]

In 2001, Hershey appeared in the psychological thriller Lantana. She was the only American in a mostly Australian cast, which included Kerry Armstrong, Anthony LaPaglia, and Geoffrey Rush.[45] Film writer Sheila Johnson said the film was «one of the best to emerge from Australia in years.»[46] Another thriller followed: 11:14 (2003) also featured Rachael Leigh Cook, Patrick Swayze, Hilary Swank, and Colin Hanks.[47] In 2002, she appeared in a two-scene cameo role as the Contessa in the mini-series, Daniel Deronda.

Hershey continued to appear on television during the 2000s, including a season on the series The Mountain. In 2008, she replaced Megan Follows in the role of Anne Shirley in Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning, the fourth in a series of made-for-TV films based on the character.

2010s[edit]

Hershey appeared as an American actress, Mrs. Hubbard, in an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express for the British television series Poirot (starring David Suchet), which aired in the United States on Public Broadcast Service in July 2010.[48] Also in 2010, Hershey co-starred in Darren Aronofsky’s acclaimed psychological thriller Black Swan (2010) opposite Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. The following year, she co-starred in the James Wan horror film Insidious (2011).[49] From 2012 to 2013, she had a recurring role in the first two seasons of ABC’s hit drama Once Upon a Time as Cora, the Queen of Hearts and mother of the Evil Queen.[50] In 2014, she reprised the role in one episode of the show’s spin-off Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. In 2015, she once more reprised the role when she returned to the show for an episode of its fourth season, and in 2016, she appeared again for two episodes of the show’s fifth season, most notably its landmark 100th episode.

In A&E’s series Damien, Hershey portrayed series regular Ann Rutledge, the world’s most powerful woman, who has been given the task to make sure Damien fulfills his destiny as the Antichrist. The role marks Hershey’s most recent TV gig following Once Upon a Time, The Mountain, Chicago Hope, and Lifetime’s Left to Die TV movie.[51]

Personal life[edit]

In 1968, Hershey met David Carradine while they were working on Heaven with a Gun.[7] The pair began a domestic relationship that lasted until 1975.[52] Carradine said that during the rape scene in that movie, he cracked one of Barbara’s ribs.[53] They appeared in other films together including Martin Scorsese’s Boxcar Bertha. In 1972, the couple posed together in a nude Playboy spread, recreating some sex scenes from Boxcar Bertha.[20]

On October 6, 1972, Hershey gave birth to their son, Free, who changed his name to Tom when he was nine years old.[54] The relationship fell apart around the time of Carradine’s 1974 burglary arrest,[55] after he had begun an affair with Season Hubley, who had guest-starred in Kung Fu.[56]

During this period, Hershey changed her stage name to «Seagull». In 1979, a blunt newspaper article from the Knight News Service referenced this period of her life, saying of her acting career that «it looked as if she blew it.»[57] The article referred to Hershey as a «kook» and stated that she was frequently «high on something».[57] In addition to that criticism, she had been ostracized for breast-feeding her son during an appearance on The Dick Cavett Show,[16][11][58] and for breast-feeding him beyond the age of two years.[59]

She said that this period of her life hurt her career: «Producers wouldn’t see me because I had a reputation for using drugs and being undependable. I never used drugs at all and I have always been serious about my acting career.»[5] After splitting up with Carradine, she changed her stage name back to «Hershey», explaining that she had told the story of why she adopted the name «Seagull» so many times that it had lost its meaning.[5]

By the time Hershey was 42, she was described by columnist Luaina Lee as a «private person who was mired in some heavy publicity when she first became a professional actress.»[6] Yardena Arar, writing for the Los Angeles Daily News, confirmed that Hershey had become a private person by 1990.[3]

On August 8, 1992, Hershey married artist Stephen Douglas. The ceremony took place at her home in Oxford, Connecticut, where the only guests were their two mothers and Hershey’s then 19-year-old son, Tom (né Free) Carradine.[60] The couple separated and divorced one year after the wedding.[61]

Hershey began dating actor Naveen Andrews in 1999.[44] During a brief separation in 2005, Andrews fathered a child with another woman.[62] In May 2010, after Andrews won sole custody of his son, the couple announced that they had ended their 10-year relationship six months earlier.[63]

Barbara Lynn Herzstein, better known as Barbara Hershey (born February 5, 1948), is an American actress. In a career spanning more than 50 years, she has played a variety of roles on television and in cinema in several genres, including westerns and comedies. She began acting at age 17 in 1965 but did not achieve widespread critical acclaim until the 1980s. By that time, the Chicago Tribune referred to her as «one of America’s finest actresses».[2]

Hershey won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries/TV Film for her role in A Killing in a Small Town (1990). She received Golden Globe nominations for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Mary Magdalene in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) and for her role in The Portrait of a Lady (1996). For the latter film, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and won the Los Angeles Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actress. She has won two Best Actress awards at the Cannes Film Festival for her roles in Shy People (1987) and A World Apart (1988). She was featured in Woody Allen’s Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), for which she was nominated for the British Academy Film Award for Best Supporting Actress and Garry Marshall’s melodrama Beaches (1988), and she earned a second British Academy Film Award nomination for Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan (2010).

Establishing a reputation early in her career as a hippie, Hershey experienced conflict between her personal life and her acting goals. Her career suffered a decline during a six-year relationship with actor David Carradine, with whom she had a child. She experimented with a change in stage name to Barbara Seagull. During this time, her personal life was highly publicized and ridiculed.[3] Her acting career was not well established until she separated from Carradine and changed her stage name back to Hershey.[4][5] Later in her career, she began to keep her personal life private.[3][6]

Early life[edit]

Barbara Herzstein was born in Hollywood, the daughter of Arnold Nathan Herzstein, a horse-racing columnist, and Melrose Herzstein (née Moore).[7] Her father’s parents were Jewish emigrants from Hungary and Russia,[8] while her mother, a native of Arkansas, was a Presbyterian of Scots-Irish descent.[9][10]

The youngest of three children, Barbara always wanted to be an actress, and her family nicknamed her «Sarah Bernhardt». She was shy in school and so quiet that people thought she was deaf. By the age of ten, she proved herself to be an «A» student. Her high-school drama coach helped her find an agent, and in 1965, at age 17, she landed a role on Sally Field’s television series Gidget. Barbara said that she found Field to be very supportive of her in her first acting role.[11] According to The New York Times All Movie Guide, Barbara graduated from Hollywood High School in 1966,[12] but David Carradine, in his autobiography, said she dropped out of high school after she began acting.[7]

Career[edit]

1960s[edit]

Hershey’s acting debut, three episodes of Gidget, was followed by the short-lived television series The Monroes (1966), which also featured Michael Anderson, Jr. By this point, she had adopted the stage name «Barbara Hershey».[13] Although Hershey said the series helped her career, she expressed some frustration with her role, saying: «One week I was strong, the next, weak».[14] While on the series, Hershey garnered several other roles, including one in Doris Day’s final feature film, With Six You Get Eggroll.[14]

In 1968, Hershey worked in the 1969 Glenn Ford Western Heaven with a Gun. On the set, she met and began a romantic relationship with actor David Carradine,[7] who later starred in the television series Kung Fu (see Personal life). In the same year, she acted in the controversial drama Last Summer, which was based on Evan Hunter’s eponymous novel. In this film, Hershey played Sandy, the «heavy» who influences two young men (played by Bruce Davison and Richard Thomas) to rape another girl, Rhoda (played by Catherine Burns). Though the film, directed by Frank Perry, received an X rating for the graphic rape scene, Burns earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her performance.[15]

During the filming of Last Summer, a seagull was killed. «In one scene,» Hershey explained, «I had to throw the bird in the air to make her fly. We had to reshoot the scene over and over again. I could tell the bird was tired. Finally, when the scene was finished, the director, Frank Perry, told me the bird had broken her neck on the last throw.»[16] Hershey felt responsible for the bird’s death and changed her stage name to «Seagull» as a tribute to the creature. «I felt her spirit enter me,» she later explained. «It was the only moral thing to do.»[11] The name change was not positively received. When she was offered a part opposite Timothy Bottoms in The Crazy World of Julius Vrooder (1974) (or Vrooder’s Hooch), Hershey had to forfeit half her salary, $25,000, to be billed under the name «Seagull» because the producers were not in favor of the billing.[16][17]

1970s[edit]

In 1970, Hershey played Tish Grey in The Baby Maker, a film that explored surrogate motherhood. Criticizing the directing and writing of James Bridges, critic Shirley Rigby said of the «bizarre» film, «Only the performances in the film save it from being a total travesty.» Rigby went on to say, «Barbara Hershey is a great little actress, much, much more than just another pretty face.»[18]

Hershey once said that starring in Boxcar Bertha (1972) «was the most fun I ever had on a movie.»[19] The film, co-starring Hershey’s domestic partner, David Carradine, and produced by Roger Corman, was Martin Scorsese’s first Hollywood picture. Shot in six weeks on a budget of $600,000, Boxcar Bertha was intended to be a period crime drama similar to Corman’s Bloody Mama (1970) or Bonnie and Clyde (1967). Although Corman publicized it as an exploitation piece with plenty of sex and violence, Scorsese’s influence made it «something much more».[19] Roger Ebert, of the Chicago Sun-Times, wrote of the film’s direction, «Martin Scorsese has gone for mood and atmosphere more than for action, and his violence is always blunt and unpleasant—never liberating and exhilarating, as the New Violence is supposed to be.»[19] A spread recreating sexually explicit scenes from the movie appeared in Playboy magazine in 1972.[19][20]

Hershey’s experience with Scorsese was extended to another major role for her 16 years later in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) as Mary Magdalene. During the filming of Boxcar Bertha, Hershey had introduced Scorsese to the Nikos Kazantzakis novel on which the latter film was based.[18][19] That collaboration resulted in an Academy Award nomination for the director[21] and a Golden Globe nod for Hershey.

By the mid-1970s, Hershey concluded, «I’ve been so tied up with David [Carradine] that people have forgotten that I am me. I spend 50 percent of my time working with David.»[4] She had, in 1974, guest-starred in a two-part episode of Carradine’s television series Kung Fu. She played, under the direction of Carradine, a love interest to his character, Kwai Chang Caine, during his time at the Shaolin temple. She also appeared in two of Carradine’s independent directorial projects, You and Me (1975) and Americana (1983), both of which had been filmed in 1973.[5] Her father, Arnold Herzstein, also appeared in Americana.

She publicly acknowledged the desire to be recognized in her own right. Later, in 1974, she did just that, winning a gold medal at the Atlanta Film Festival for her role in the Dutch-produced film Love Comes Quietly.[4]

Later in the decade, Hershey starred with Charlton Heston in The Last Hard Men (1976). She hoped the film would revive her career after the damage she felt it had suffered while she was with Carradine, believing that the hippie label she had been given was a career impediment. By this time, she had shed Carradine and her «Seagull» pseudonym.[22] Throughout the rest of the 1970s, however, she was appearing in made-for-TV movies that were described as «forgettable»,[23] like Flood! (1976), Sunshine Christmas (1977), and The Glitter Palace (1977), in which she played a lesbian.[24]

1980s[edit]

Hershey landed a role in Richard Rush’s The Stunt Man (1980), marking a return to the big screen after four years[11] and earning her critical praise.[25] Hershey felt that she would be forever in debt to Rush for fighting with financiers to allow her a part in that film.[23] She also felt The Stunt Man was an important transition for her, from playing girls to playing women.[23]

Some of the «women roles» that followed The Stunt Man included the horror movie The Entity (1982); Philip Kaufman’s The Right Stuff (1983), in which she played Glennis Yeager, wife of test pilot Chuck Yeager; and The Natural (1984), in which she shot Robert Redford’s character, inspired by a real-life incident where Ruth Ann Steinhagen shot ballplayer Eddie Waitkus.[26] For the role of Harriet Bird, Hershey had chosen a particular hat as her «anchor».[23] Director Barry Levinson disagreed with her choice, but she insisted on wearing it. Levinson later cast Hershey as the wife of Danny DeVito’s character in the comedy Tin Men (1987).[23]

In 1986, Hershey left her native California and moved with her son to Manhattan. Three days later, she met briefly with Woody Allen, who offered her the role of Lee in Hannah and Her Sisters (1986). In addition to a Manhattan apartment, Hershey bought an antique home in rural Connecticut.[27] The Allen picture won three Academy Awards and a Golden Globe. The film also earned Hershey a BAFTA nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. She described her part as «a wonderful gift».[23]

Hershey followed Hannah and Her Sisters with back-to-back wins for Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for Shy People[3][28] and for her appearance as anti-apartheid activist Diana Roth in A World Apart (1988).[3] Her character in the latter film was based on Ruth First.[29] Also in the 1980s, she portrayed Errol Flynn’s first wife, actress Lili Damita, in the TV movie adaptation of My Wicked, Wicked Ways: The Legend of Errol Flynn (1985), which was based on Flynn’s autobiography. She also played the love interest to Gene Hackman’s character in the basketball film Hoosiers (1986).

Barbara Cloud of the Pittsburgh Press gave attribution to Hershey for starting a trend when she had collagen injected into her lips for her role in Beaches (1988).[30] Humorist Erma Bombeck said of the movie, which also starred Bette Midler, «I have no idea what Beaches was all about. All I could focus on was Barbara Hershey’s lips. She looked like she stopped off at a gas station and someone said, ‘Your lips are down 30 pounds. Better let me hit ’em with some air.«[31]

1990s[edit]

In 1990, Hershey won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Special for her role as Candy Morrison in A Killing in a Small Town, which was based on Candy Montgomery’s acquittal for the death of Betty Gore. Montgomery had killed Gore on Friday, June 13, 1980, in Gore’s Wylie, Texas, home, by hitting her 41 times with an ax. The jury determined that she did so in self-defense.[32] In preparation for the part, Hershey had a phone conversation with Montgomery.[33] Many of the names of the real-life principals in the case were changed for the movie. The film’s alternative title was Evidence of Love, the name of a 1984 book about the case.[34]

Also in 1990, Hershey drew upon what Woody Allen once described as her «erotic overtones»,[35] portraying a woman who falls in love with her much younger nephew by marriage, played by Keanu Reeves, in the comedic Tune in Tomorrow.[35]

In 1991, Hershey played Hanna Trout, the wife of the title character in Paris Trout (1991), a made-for-cable television movie. In this Showtime production, Hershey collaborated again with A Killing in a Small Town director Stephen Gyllenhaal to play a woman who has an affair with her husband’s lawyer. Her husband, an abusive bigot (played by Dennis Hopper), is on trial for murdering a young African American girl.[36] The film, which was based on Pete Dexter’s 1988 National Book Award-winning novel, featured Hopper and Hershey enacting a graphic rape scene that the actress found difficult to view. The picture was described as a «dramatic reach deep into the dark hollows of racism, abuse and murder.»[37] Paris Trout was nominated for five Prime Time Emmy Awards, including nods for both Hershey and Hopper.

Later in the year, Hershey played an attorney defending her college roommate for the murder of her husband in the suspenseful whodunit Defenseless (1991).[38]

Because of her frequent television appearances, by the end of 1991, Hershey was accused of «selling out to the small screen».[38] In 1992, Hershey appeared with Jane Alexander in the ABC miniseries Stay the Night (1992), prompting Associated Press writer Jerry Buck to write, «Barbara Hershey is a person who jumps back and forth between features and television very easily.»[39] She starred in another TV miniseries in 1993, succeeding Anjelica Huston as Clara Allen in the sequel series Return to Lonesome Dove.[40] She was nominated for a Golden Satellite Award for another TV appearance, The Staircase (1998). Between 1999 and 2000, she played Dr. Francesca Alberghetti in 22 season-six episodes of the medical TV drama Chicago Hope.[41]

Hershey co-starred with Joe Pesci as a nightclub owner in the film drama The Public Eye (1992) and as the abused estranged wife of a homicidal Michael Douglas in the thriller Falling Down (1993). Among the other feature films in which she appeared during the 1990s was Jane Campion’s adaptation of the Henry James novel The Portrait of a Lady (1996). Hershey earned an Oscar nomination[42] and won the Best Supporting Actress award from the National Society of Film Critics for her role as Madame Serena Merle in that picture.[43] In 1995, Last of the Dogmen, co-starring Tom Berenger, was released through Savoy Pictures. In 1999, Hershey starred in an independent film called Drowning on Dry Land; during production she met co-star Naveen Andrews, with whom she began a romantic relationship that lasted until 2010.[44]

2000s[edit]

In 2001, Hershey appeared in the psychological thriller Lantana. She was the only American in a mostly Australian cast, which included Kerry Armstrong, Anthony LaPaglia, and Geoffrey Rush.[45] Film writer Sheila Johnson said the film was «one of the best to emerge from Australia in years.»[46] Another thriller followed: 11:14 (2003) also featured Rachael Leigh Cook, Patrick Swayze, Hilary Swank, and Colin Hanks.[47] In 2002, she appeared in a two-scene cameo role as the Contessa in the mini-series, Daniel Deronda.

Hershey continued to appear on television during the 2000s, including a season on the series The Mountain. In 2008, she replaced Megan Follows in the role of Anne Shirley in Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning, the fourth in a series of made-for-TV films based on the character.

2010s[edit]

Hershey appeared as an American actress, Mrs. Hubbard, in an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express for the British television series Poirot (starring David Suchet), which aired in the United States on Public Broadcast Service in July 2010.[48] Also in 2010, Hershey co-starred in Darren Aronofsky’s acclaimed psychological thriller Black Swan (2010) opposite Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. The following year, she co-starred in the James Wan horror film Insidious (2011).[49] From 2012 to 2013, she had a recurring role in the first two seasons of ABC’s hit drama Once Upon a Time as Cora, the Queen of Hearts and mother of the Evil Queen.[50] In 2014, she reprised the role in one episode of the show’s spin-off Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. In 2015, she once more reprised the role when she returned to the show for an episode of its fourth season, and in 2016, she appeared again for two episodes of the show’s fifth season, most notably its landmark 100th episode.

In A&E’s series Damien, Hershey portrayed series regular Ann Rutledge, the world’s most powerful woman, who has been given the task to make sure Damien fulfills his destiny as the Antichrist. The role marks Hershey’s most recent TV gig following Once Upon a Time, The Mountain, Chicago Hope, and Lifetime’s Left to Die TV movie.[51]

Personal life[edit]

In 1968, Hershey met David Carradine while they were working on Heaven with a Gun.[7] The pair began a domestic relationship that lasted until 1975.[52] Carradine said that during the rape scene in that movie, he cracked one of Barbara’s ribs.[53] They appeared in other films together including Martin Scorsese’s Boxcar Bertha. In 1972, the couple posed together in a nude Playboy spread, recreating some sex scenes from Boxcar Bertha.[20]

On October 6, 1972, Hershey gave birth to their son, Free, who changed his name to Tom when he was nine years old.[54] The relationship fell apart around the time of Carradine’s 1974 burglary arrest,[55] after he had begun an affair with Season Hubley, who had guest-starred in Kung Fu.[56]

During this period, Hershey changed her stage name to «Seagull». In 1979, a blunt newspaper article from the Knight News Service referenced this period of her life, saying of her acting career that «it looked as if she blew it.»[57] The article referred to Hershey as a «kook» and stated that she was frequently «high on something».[57] In addition to that criticism, she had been ostracized for breast-feeding her son during an appearance on The Dick Cavett Show,[16][11][58] and for breast-feeding him beyond the age of two years.[59]

She said that this period of her life hurt her career: «Producers wouldn’t see me because I had a reputation for using drugs and being undependable. I never used drugs at all and I have always been serious about my acting career.»[5] After splitting up with Carradine, she changed her stage name back to «Hershey», explaining that she had told the story of why she adopted the name «Seagull» so many times that it had lost its meaning.[5]

By the time Hershey was 42, she was described by columnist Luaina Lee as a «private person who was mired in some heavy publicity when she first became a professional actress.»[6] Yardena Arar, writing for the Los Angeles Daily News, confirmed that Hershey had become a private person by 1990.[3]

On August 8, 1992, Hershey married artist Stephen Douglas. The ceremony took place at her home in Oxford, Connecticut, where the only guests were their two mothers and Hershey’s then 19-year-old son, Tom (né Free) Carradine.[60] The couple separated and divorced one year after the wedding.[61]

Hershey began dating actor Naveen Andrews in 1999.[44] During a brief separation in 2005, Andrews fathered a child with another woman.[62] In May 2010, after Andrews won sole custody of his son, the couple announced that they had ended their 10-year relationship six months earlier.[63]

Барбара Херши (род. Барбара Линн Херцштейн ; 5 февраля 1948 г.) — американская актриса. За более чем 50-летнюю карьеру она сыграла множество ролей на телевидении и в кино в нескольких жанрах, включая вестерны и комедии. Она начала сниматься в возрасте 17 лет в 1965 году, но не получила большого признания критиков до второй половины 1980-х годов. К тому времени Chicago Tribune назвала ее «одной из лучших актрис Америки».

Херши выиграла Эмми и Золотой глобус <278.>за выдающуюся главную женскую роль в мини-сериале / телефильме за роль в Убийство в маленьком городке (1990). Она была номинирована на «Золотой глобус» в категории Лучшая актриса второго плана за роль Марии Магдалины в Последнее искушение Христа (1988) и за роль в Портрет дамы (1996).

Заработав репутацию «хиппи» в начале своей карьеры, Херши пережила конфликт между личной жизнью и актерскими целями. Ее карьера пошла на спад из-за шестилетних отношений с актером Дэвидом Кэррадайном, от которого у нее был ребенок. Она экспериментировала со сменой сценического псевдонима, о чем позже пожалела. За это время ее личная жизнь получила широкую огласку и высмеивала. Ее актерская карьера не была хорошо развита, пока она не рассталась с Кэррадайн и не сменила сценическое имя обратно на Херши. Позже в своей карьере она начала вести личную жизнь в тайне.

Ранние годы

Барбара Герцштейн родилась в Голливуде, дочь Арнольда Натана Герцштейна (1906–1981), лошадь- обозреватель гонок и Мелроуз Херцштейн (урожденная Мур; 1917–2008). Родители ее отца были евреями эмигрантами из Венгрии и России, а мать, уроженка Арканзаса, была пресвитерианкой шотландско-ирландского происхождения

.

Младшая из троих детей, Барбара всегда хотела быть актрисой, и ее семья прозвала ее «Сара Бернар ». В школе она была застенчивой и такой тихой, что люди думали, что она глухая. К 10 годам она зарекомендовала себя как отличница. Ее школьный тренер по драматургии помог ей найти агента, и в 1965 году в возрасте 17 лет она получила роль в телесериале Салли Филд Гиджет. Барбара сказала, что Филд очень поддержал ее в ее первой актерской роли. Согласно The New York Times All Movie Guide, Барбара окончила среднюю школу Голливуда в 1966 году, но Дэвид Кэррадайн в своей автобиографии сказал, что она бросила школу после того, как начала действовать.

Карьера

1960-е

Херши и Марк Слейд в телевизионном вестерне The High Chaparral, 1968)

Актерский дебют Херши, три эпизода «Гиджет», за ним последовал недолговечный телесериал Монро (1966), в котором также участвовал Майкл Андерсон младший К этому моменту она приняла сценический псевдоним «Барбара Херши». Хотя Херши сказала, что этот сериал помог ее карьере, она выразила некоторое разочарование своей ролью, сказав: «Одна неделя я была сильной, а следующую — слабой». В то время как в сериале Херши получил еще несколько ролей, в том числе одну в последнем художественном фильме Дорис Дэй, With Six You Get Eggroll.

В 1969 году Херши снялся в фильме Гленн Форд Вестерн Небеса с ружьем. На съемочной площадке она познакомилась и завела романтические отношения с актером Дэвидом Кэррадайном, который позже снялся в телесериале Кунг-фу (см. Личная жизнь ). В том же году она снялась в скандальной драме Прошлым летом, основанной на одноименном романе Эвана Хантера. В этом фильме Херши сыграл Сэнди, «тяжелого» человека, который повлиял на двух молодых людей (которых играет Брюс Дэвисон и Ричард Томас ), чтобы они изнасиловали другую девушку, Роду (играет Кэтрин Бернс ). Хотя фильм режиссера Фрэнка Перри получил рейтинг X за графическую сцену изнасилования, Бернс получила номинацию на лучшую женскую роль второго плана Оскар за свою роль <. 235>

Во время съемок фильма «Прошлым летом» была убита чайка. «В одной сцене, — объяснил Херши, — мне пришлось подбросить птицу в воздух, чтобы она взлетела. Нам приходилось переснимать сцену снова и снова. Я мог сказать, что птица устала. Наконец, когда сцена была закончена. режиссер Фрэнк Перри сказал мне, что птица сломала себе шею в последнем броске «. Херши почувствовала ответственность за смерть птицы и изменила свое сценическое имя на «Чайка», отдавая дань уважения существу. «Я почувствовала, как ее дух вошел в меня», — объяснила она позже. «Это был единственный нравственный поступок». Изменение названия не было положительно воспринято. Когда ей предложили роль напротив Тимоти Боттомса в Безумном мире Джулиуса Врудера (1974) (или «Хуч Врудера»), Херши пришлось лишиться половины своей зарплаты, 25000 долларов, чтобы выставить счет. под названием «Чайка», потому что продюсеры не одобряли выставление счетов.

1970-е

В 1970 году Херши сыграла Тиш Грей в фильме The Baby Maker которые исследовали суррогатное материнство. Критикуя режиссуру и сценарий Джеймса Бриджеса, критик Ширли Ригби сказала о «странном» фильме: «Только выступления в фильме спасают его от полной пародии». Ригби продолжила: «Барбара Херши — великая маленькая актриса, намного, намного больше, чем просто еще одно красивое лицо».

Херши однажды сказал, что играет главную роль в товарном вагоне Берта (1972) » было самым веселым, что я когда-либо получал в кино ». Этот фильм, в котором снимался домашний партнер Херши, Дэвид Кэррадайн, был продюсером Роджера Кормана, был первым голливудским фильмом Мартина Скорсезе. Снятый за шесть недель с бюджетом в 600 000 долларов, Boxcar Bertha должен был стать исторической криминальной драмой, похожей на «Кровавую маму» Кормана (1970) или «23» Бонни и Клайд (1967). Хотя Корман разрекламировал его как часть эксплуатации с большим количеством секса и насилия, влияние Скорсезе сделало его «чем-то гораздо большим». Роджер Эберт из Chicago Sun-Times писал о режиссура фильма: «Мартин Скорсезе больше ориентировался на настроение и атмосферу, чем на действие, и его насилие всегда резкое и неприятное — никогда не освобождает и не радует, как должно быть в New Violence». В 1972 году в журнале Playboy появился разворот, воссоздающий откровенно сексуальные сцены из фильма.

Опыт Херши со Скорсезе был распространен на еще одну главную роль, которую она сыграла 16 лет спустя в фильме Последнее искушение. Христа (1988) как Мария Магдалина. Во время съемок «Крытого вагона Берты» Херши познакомил Скорсезе с романом Никоса Казандзакиса, на котором был основан последний фильм. В результате этого сотрудничества режиссер был номинирован на премию Оскар, а Херши получил премию «Золотой глобус».

К середине 1970-х Херши заключил: «Я был так привязан к Дэвиду [Кэррадайну], что люди забыли, что я есть я. Я провожу 50 процентов своего времени, работая с Дэвидом». В 1974 году она сыграла главную роль в двухсерийном эпизоде ​​телесериала Кэррадайн «Кунг-фу». Под руководством Кэррадайна она сыграла любовный интерес к его персонажу Квай Чанг Кейн во время его пребывания в храме Шаолинь. Она также появилась в двух независимых режиссерских проектах Кэррадайн, Ты и Я (1975) и Американа (1983), оба из которых были сняты в 1973 году. Ее отец, Арнольд Герцштейн, также появился в Американе.

Она публично признала свое желание получить признание. Позже, в 1974 году, она сделала именно это, получив золотую медаль на кинофестивале в Атланте за роль в голландском фильме Любовь приходит тихо.

Позже в том же десятилетии Херши снялась в главной роли. с Чарлтоном Хестоном в The Last Hard Men (1976). Она надеялась, что фильм возродит ее карьеру после того ущерба, который, как она чувствовала, он получил, когда она была с Кэррадайн, полагая, что ярлык хиппи, который ей дали, был препятствием для карьеры. К этому времени она избавилась от Кэррадайна и своего псевдонима «Чайка». Однако на протяжении остальной части 1970-х она появлялась в фильмах, снятых для телевидения, которые были описаны как «забываемые», например, Flood! (1976), (1977) и (1977), в в котором она сыграла лесбиянку.

Херши получила роль в фильме Ричарда Раша Каскадер ( 1980), ознаменовав возвращение на большой экран через четыре года и получив похвалу критиков. Херши чувствовала, что она навсегда останется в долгу перед Рашем за то, что боролась с финансистами за то, чтобы позволить ей участвовать в этом фильме. Она также чувствовала, что «Каскадер» стал для нее важным переходом от игры девочек к роли женщин.

Некоторые из «женских ролей», последовавшие за «Каскадером», включали фильм ужасов Сущность (1982); Филип Кауфман Правильный материал (1983), в котором она сыграла Гленниса Йегера, жену летчика-испытателя Чака Йегера ; и The Natural (1984), в котором она сняла персонажа Роберта Редфорда, вдохновленного реальным инцидентом, когда Рут Энн Стейнхаген стреляла в бейсболиста Эдди Вайткус.

Позже Левинсон выбрал Херши на роль жены персонажа Дэнни ДеВито в комедии Железные человечки (1987).

В 1986 году Херши покинула родную Калифорнию и переехала в город. с сыном на Манхэттен. Три дня спустя она ненадолго встретилась с Вуди Алленом, который предложил ей роль Ли в Ханна и ее сестры (1986).

Она также сыграла любовный интерес к персонажу Джина Хэкмана в баскетбольном фильме Hoosiers (1986).

Барбара Клауд из Pittsburgh Press приписала Херши начало тенденции, когда ей вводили коллаген в губы для ее роли в Beaches (1988). Юморист Эрма Бомбек сказала о фильме, в котором также снималась Бетт Мидлер : «Я понятия не имею, что такое« Пляжи ». Все, на чем я мог сосредоточиться, — это губы Барбары Херши. Она выглядела как она остановилась на заправке, и кто-то сказал: «Ваши губы похудели на 30 фунтов. Лучше позвольте мне ударить их воздухом».

Личная жизнь

Херши на международном кинофестивале в Торонто, 13 сентября 2010 г.

В 1969 году Херши встретил Дэвида Кэррадайна, когда они работали над Heaven with a Gun. У пары начались семейные отношения, которые продлились до 1975 года. Кэррадайн сказал, что во время сцены изнасилования в том фильме он сломал Барбаре ребро. Они вместе снимались в других фильмах, в том числе в фильме Мартина Скорсезе товарный вагон Берта. В 1972 году пара позировала вместе в обнаженном журнале Playboy, воссоздав некоторые сексуальные сцены из «Товарного вагона Берты».

6 октября 1972 года Херши родила сына Фри, который сменил имя на Тома, когда он было девять лет. Отношения распались примерно во время ареста Кэррадайна со взломом в 1974 году, после того, как он завязал роман с Сезоном Хабли, который играл главную роль в Кунг-фу.

В этот период Херши изменился. ее сценический псевдоним «Чайка». В 1979 году в газете Knight News Service появилась резкая статья об этом периоде ее жизни, в которой говорилось о ее актерской карьере, что «казалось, что она все провалила». В статье Херши называлась «чудаком» и говорилось, что она часто «от чего-то увлекалась». В дополнение к этой критике, она подверглась остракизму за то, что кормила грудью своего сына во время появления на Шоу Дика Каветта, и за то, что кормила его грудью старше двух лет.

Она сказала, что этот период ее жизни повредил ее карьере; «Продюсеры не видели меня, потому что у меня была репутация наркозависимого и ненадежного. Я никогда не употребляла наркотики и всегда серьезно относилась к своей актерской карьере». После разрыва с Кэррадайн она сменила сценический псевдоним обратно на «Херши», объяснив, что рассказывала историю того, почему она взяла имя «Чайка» так много раз, что оно потеряло свое значение.

Автор Когда Херши было 42 года, обозреватель Луайна Ли описал ее как «частное лицо, которое погрязло в широкой огласке, когда впервые стала профессиональной актрисой». Ярдена Арар, пишущая для Los Angeles Daily News, подтвердила, что к 1990 году Херши стал частным лицом.

8 августа 1992 года Херши вышла замуж за художника Стивена Дугласа. Церемония прошла в ее доме в Оксфорде, Коннектикут, где единственными гостями были их две матери и 19-летний сын Херши, Том (урожденный Фри) Кэррадайн. Пара рассталась и развелась через год после свадьбы.

Херши начал встречаться с актером Навином Эндрюсом в 1999 году. Во время короткой разлуки в 2005 году Эндрюс родил ребенка от другой женщины. В мае 2010 года, после того как Эндрюс получил право единоличной опеки над своим сыном, пара объявила о разрыве своих 10-летних отношений шестью месяцами ранее.

Херши живет в Лос-Анджелесе, Гавайи, Нью-Йорк и Коннектикут.
