We’ve had to say goodbye to some beloved musicians, athletes, actors and more. Here's a look at the stars we've lost so far in 2024, through February.
LOS ANGELES — Barbara Rush, a popular leading actor in the 1950 and 1960s who co-starred with Frank Sinatra, Paul Newman and other top film performers and later had a thriving TV career, has died. She was 97.
Spotted in a play at the Pasadena Playhouse, Rush was given a contract at Paramount Studios in 1950 and made her film debut that same year with a small role in"The Goldbergs," based on the radio and TV series of the same name. Rush went on to appear in a wide range of films. She starred opposite Rock Hudson in"Captain Lightfoot" and in Douglas Sirk’s acclaimed remake of"Magnificent Obsession," Audie Murphy in"World in My Corner" and Richard Carlson in the 3-D science-fiction classic"It Came From Outer Space,” for which she received a Golden Globe for most promising newcomer.
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.
She pursued drama at the University of California, Berkeley, then won a scholarship to the Pasadena Playhouse Theater Arts College.
