Barbara Rush, Hollywood Actress Known for The Fugitive, Dies at 97

The American actress Babara Rush, known for her performance in films such as They Came from Space, The Dance of the Damned or Obesion and the series The Fugitive, Peyton Place or Murder Written, died yesterday Sunday at the age of 97, as confirmed by her daughter Claudia Cowan to Fox News, the network where she works as a journalist.

Born in Denver in 1927, the daughter of a mining company lawyer, Rush attended the University of California and began her career in the school’s theater program. She soon entered the payroll of Paramount Pictures and in 1950 she made her big screen debut in The Goldbergs. A year later she delved into science fiction with When Worlds Collide, by Rudolph Maté. In that same genre she stood out in 1953 starring in the cult B series title They Came From Space, which gave her the Golden Globe for “Most Promising Female Revelation.”

It was the beginning of a promising career in the industry that lasted five decades and led her to work with directors such as Douglas Sirk (Obsession, 1954), Edward Dmytryk (The Dance of the Damned, 1958) and Nicholas Ray (More powerful than life, 1956). As co-workers she rubbed shoulders with Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Richard Burton, James Mason and Stewart Granger. In the sixties she took refuge on the small screen with the rise of series. We saw her in The Fugitive, Peyton Place or Doctor Kildare. She later appeared in some episodes of Ironside, Flamingo Road, Hooperman, Paradise, Vacation at Sea, Magnum, Fantastic Car or Murder Wrote.

In the nineties his face became popular thanks to his appearance in the soap opera All My Children. She retired from acting in 1998.
