Barbara Rush: A Luminary of the Silver Screen
Barbara Rush, an American actress whose career spanned over six decades, left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment. Born on January 4, 1927, in Denver, Colorado, Rush grew up in Santa Barbara, California, where her love for acting blossomed. Her journey from a young, aspiring actress to a Hollywood luminary is a tale of talent, dedication, and resilience.
Early Life and Education Barbara Rush was born to Roy and Muriel Rush. Her father worked as a lawyer, while her mother was a homemaker. Growing up, Rush was drawn to the performing arts and actively participated in school plays. Her passion for acting led her to study at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she majored in drama.
During her college years, Rush honed her acting skills and caught the attention of talent scouts. Her striking beauty and undeniable talent opened doors for her in the entertainment industry. In 1948, she made her stage debut in the play "The Night of January 16th" at the Pasadena Playhouse, a renowned theater company known for launching the careers of many Hollywood stars.
Rise to Stardom Rush's performance at the Pasadena Playhouse was a turning point in her career. She signed a contract with Paramount Pictures in 1950 and made her film debut in the western "The Goldbergs" (1950). Her breakthrough role came in 1951 when she starred opposite Paul Newman in the historical drama "The First Legion." Rush's portrayal of a young woman grappling with faith and love earned her critical acclaim and established her as a rising star.
Throughout the 1950s, Rush appeared in numerous films, showcasing her versatility as an actress. She starred in the science fiction classic "When Worlds Collide" (1951), the film noir "Strangers on a Train" (1951), and the romantic comedy "The Magnificent Yankee" (1950). Her performances in these films demonstrated her ability to adapt to various genres and captivate audiences with her screen presence.
One of Rush's most memorable roles was in the 1953 film "It Came from Outer Space," a groundbreaking science fiction movie directed by Jack Arnold. Rush played the lead role of Ellen Fields, a schoolteacher who encounters extraterrestrial life. The film was one of the first to feature aliens as sympathetic characters and showcased Rush's ability to convey a wide range of emotions, from fear to compassion.
Television Success In addition to her film career, Rush made a significant impact on the television industry. She made her television debut in 1954 in an episode of the anthology series "The Ford Television Theatre." Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, she appeared in numerous television shows, including "The Twilight Zone," "Playhouse 90," and "The Outer Limits."
Rush's most notable television role came in 1962 when she starred in the sitcom "Peyton Place." The show, based on the controversial novel by Grace Metalious, was groundbreaking for its time, addressing taboo subjects such as sexual promiscuity, incest, and abortion. Rush played the role of Grace Metalious, the author of the novel, and received critical acclaim for her performance. The show ran for five seasons and solidified Rush's status as a television icon.
Personal Life and Philanthropy Beyond her acting career, Barbara Rush was known for her personal life and philanthropic endeavors. She was married three times, first to actor Jeffrey Hunter from 1950 to 1955, then to publicist Warren Cowan from 1959 to 1969, and finally to sculptor Jim Gruzalski from 1970 to 1973. Rush had two children, Christopher Hunter and Claudia Cowan, both of whom followed in their mother's footsteps and pursued careers in the entertainment industry.
Rush was also deeply committed to various charitable causes. She was a strong advocate for animal rights and supported organizations such as the American Humane Association and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). Additionally, she was involved with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and worked to raise awareness about child welfare issues.
Later Career and Legacy As Rush's career progressed, she continued to take on challenging roles in both film and television. In the 1970s, she starred in the horror film "The Stunt Man" (1980) opposite Peter O'Toole, and appeared in the television miniseries "The Seekers" (1979) and "Scruples" (1980). Her later film credits include "Hocus Pocus" (1993) and "Strangers with Candy" (2005), demonstrating her ability to captivate audiences across generations.
Rush's contributions to the entertainment industry did not go unnoticed. She received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960, cementing her status as a true Hollywood icon. In 1954, she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for her performance in the film "Magnificent Obsession," a testament to her acting prowess.
