Barbara Barrie, Oscar-Nominated 'Breaking Away' Actress and Broadway Veteran, Dies at 95
American actress Barbara Barrie died Tuesday at her home in Manhattan at age 95, her daughter Jane Stein confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
Born Barbara Ann Berman in Chicago on May 23, 1931, Barrie worked on stage and screen for some seven decades. She won the Best Actress award at Cannes in 1964 for 'One Potato, Two Potato,' and earned a Tony nomination for featured actress in 1972 for 'The Creation of the World and Other Business.'
On screen, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for playing the mother in 'Breaking Away' (1979), played a captain in 'Private Benjamin' (1980), and reached a wide television audience as Helen Keaney, the grandmother on NBC's 'Suddenly Susan' from 1996 to 2000. She appeared repeatedly in the 'Law & Order' franchise, and her final film role came in 'Second Act' (2018).
Barrie lived in the same Manhattan apartment for more than 45 years. She is survived by her children, Jane Stein and Aaron Stein.
