Barbara Rush, who co-starred in films with Frank Sinatra, Paul Newman and other leading men of the 1950s and 1960s and had a thriving TV career later in life, has died.
EntertainmentFILE - Barbara Rush appears at the 2019 TCM Classic Film Festival - Opening Night Gala of"When Harry Met Sally" in Los Angeles on April 11, 2019. Rush, who co-starred in films with Frank Sinatra, Paul Newman and other leading men of the 1950s and 1960s and had a thriving TV career later in life, died Sunday, March 31, 2024 at age 97.
She would leave Paramount soon after, however, going to work for Universal International and later 20th Century Fox. Other film credits included the Nicholas Ray classic “Bigger Than Life”;"The Young Lions," with Marlon Brando, Dean Martin and Montgomery Clift and"The Young Philadelphians" with Newman. She made two films with Sinatra,"Come Blow Your Horn" and the Rat Pack spoof “Robin and the Seven Hoods,” which also featured Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.
Instead, Rush took on roles in such series as “Peyton Place,”"All My Children,""The New Dick Van Dyke Show" and"7th Heaven." "It was very, very difficult for me to learn timing at first, especially the business of waiting for a laugh," she remarked in 1970. But she learned, and the show lasted a year in Chicago and months more on the road.
