Barbara Rush was an American Golden Globe Award-winning movie and television actress. Born in Denver in 1927, Rush grew up in Los Angeles and, after studying theatre at the University of California, Santa Barbara, she was signed to Paramount Pictures. After making her screen acting debut in The Goldbergs – a big-screen spinoff of the popular radio and TV series – Rush's breakthrough role came in 1951 in the Oscar-winning sci-fi picture When Worlds Collide, as the daughter of an astronomer attempting to warn humanity they are doomed by a rogue star on a crash course with Earth. In 1954, Rush won the Golden Globe Award as most promising female newcomer for her role in the 1953 science fiction film, It Came From Outer Space. Later in her career, Rush became a regular performer in the television series Peyton Place, and has appeared in television movies, miniseries, and a variety of other television shows, including the soap opera All My Children.
