Barbara Rush, Golden Globe-winning actress from It Came from Outer Space and ... trends now

Golden Globe-winning actress Barbara Rush has passed away at the age of 97.

Her daughter, Claudia Cowan, confirmed her mother's death to Fox News on Sunday. 

'My wonderful mother passed away peacefully at 5:28 this evening,' she said. 'I was with her this morning and know she was waiting for me to return home safely to transition. 

'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.'

Rush was best known for her roles in 1953's It Came from Outer Space and 1957's Peyton Place.

She starred alongside Hollywood legends like Paul Newman, Rock Hudson, Dean Martin, Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra, and Richard Burton.

Born on January 4, 1927, in Denver, Colorado, Rush began her acting career in the 1950s. 

She began honing her craft at the Pasadena Playhouse. 

It was there that she caught the attention of a talent scout, who promptly signed her to Paramount Pictures in 1950.

She made her film debut in The Goldbergs that year and followed it with several small roles in films such as When Worlds Collide (1951) and It Came from Outer Space (1953).

In 1954, Rush won the Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer – Female for her performance in the film. 

She first collaborated with Rock Hudson in the 1954 Western film Taza, Son of Cochise.
