Barbara Hershey

In her time she was sometimes regarded as an A-list star, but often she was ignored by famous director and producer. Perhaps this condition was the cause for her to have a long list of sex scenes and nude scenes throughout her career. In some movies even her nude scenes seem unnecessary. But the best two I remember most are when she was erotically raped by a supernatural being in The Entity. The second is when a much younger taxi driver rode her and she enjoyed passionately in Drowning on Dry Land:

Barbara Lynn Herzstein was born on February 5, 1948, in Hollywood, California. The daughter of a Jewish American father who wrote columns for horse-racing and an Irish American mother attended Hollywood High School, where she became a member of the drill team. An active youth, Barbara also took acting lessons during high school.

At age 25, Barbara changed her last name to “Seagull” after accidentally killing one. However, after two years, she changed her name back. Barbara lived with actor David Carradine from 1969 to 1975. The couple has a son named Tom Carradine. On August 8, 1992, she married Stephen Douglas, but they divorced in 1993.

Barbara Hershey had ambitions of appearing in movies as a little girl. A quiet girl, she acted out stories in her backyard and in high school, she participated in school plays. In one of her performances, Herzstein caught the eye of an agent and by the time she was 17 years old, she had made her professional debut in three episodes of the teen television series “Gidget” (1965-1966). Before long, she moved on to become a regular character on the Western series “The Monroes” (1966-1967). Starring alongside Michael Anderson Jr., she jointly won a Bronze Wrangler for Best Fictional Television Drama from the 1967 Western Heritage Awards. She then made a series of guest appearances in such shows as “The Invaders” and “The High Chaparral.”

Barbara Hershey did not really enjoy success until the 1980s. First gaining notice in Richard Rush's “The Stunt Man” (1980), she appeared in such high-profile films as Philip Kaufman's “The Right Stuff” (1983), Barry Levinson's “The Natural” (1984) and “Tin Men” (1987), Woody Allen's “Hannah and Her Sisters” (1986) and David Anspaugh's “Hoosiers” (1986). She eventually attained star status thanks to Andrei Konchalovsky's “Shy People” (1987) and Chris Menges' “A World Apart” (1988).She also picked up a Golden Globe nomination for her scene-stealing role of Mary Magdalene in Martin Scorsese's “The Last Temptation of Christ” (1988), her second partnership with the director after 1972's “Boxcar Bertha.”

One of the most acclaimed American actresses of her generation, Hershey, who previously co-won a Western Heritage Award for her work in the 1966 Western TV series “The Monroes,” gained attention on television with her Emmy and Golden Globe-winning portrayal of real-life murderess Candy Morrison in the CBS made-for-TV drama “A Killing in a Small Town” (1990). The following year, she was nominated for an Emmy for her work in the Showtime film “Paris Trout” (1991).
