A smile that beams like the sunniest of days. She moves with great poise of a dancer, a beautiful gazelle stirring in the gentle quiet spaces of silent woods. And when her words are meant to cut it’s not with knives or claws but with a feather quill carefully placed, an intelligent stroking, a gentle lash across the heart to cause the hurt. She has a transcendent gracefulness and a speaking voice that pours like honey. Barbara Rush possesses an inimitable grace and fine beauty.
To me, she is one of the great screen stars of all time - there is no one quite like her and her subtle emotional layers of acting that get peeled away with each scene. I’ve followed her career from major motion pictures to wonderful dramatic television programs. In every role where she graced the screen she left a lasting impression on me. I’ve loved Barbara Rush for as long as I can remember.
