Barbara Rush, seen here at an event in Hollywood in 2019, has died at the age of 97. Rush co-starred in films with Frank Sinatra, Paul Newman and other leading men of the 1950s and 1960s then had a thriving TV career later in life.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.
Cowan praised her mother as “among the last of ”Old Hollywood Royalty” and called herself her mother’s “biggest fan.” “Paramount wasn’t geared for developing new talent,” she recalled in 1954. “Every time a good role came along, they tried to borrow Elizabeth Taylor.” Rush, who had made TV guest appearances for years, recalled fully making the transition as she approached middle age.
Instead, Rush took on roles in such series as “Peyton Place,” “All My Children,” “The New Dick Van Dyke Show” and “7th Heaven.” She also appeared on “The Love Boat,” “Fantasy Island,” “Magnum, P.I.” and “Murder, She Wrote.” “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.
