Barbara Rush, Golden Globe-Winning Star of ‘It Came From Outer Space,’ Dies at 97
Barbara Rush, the actress who cut her teeth starring in 1950s science-fiction classics before transitioning to playing perennially unruffled women across a range of soap operas, died on Sunday. She was 97.
Rush’s daughter, Claudia Cowan, a senior correspondent for Fox News, confirmed her death to the network.
“My wonderful mother passed away peacefully at 5:28 this evening. I was with her this morning and know she was waiting for me to return home safely to transition,” Cowan said in a statement, according to Fox News Digital. “It’s fitting she chose to leave on Easter as it was one of her favorite holidays and now, of course, Easter will have a deeper significance for me and my family.”
