Barbara Hershey (born Barbara Lynn Herzstein; February 5, 1948), once known as Barbara Seagull,〔Walker, Connecticut. "Barbara Seagull: The New Hollywood." ''Parade'' magazine. Dec 16,1973〕 is an American actress. In a career spanning nearly 50 years, she has played a variety of roles on television and in cinema, in several genres including westerns and comedies. She began acting at age 17 in 1965, but did not achieve much critical acclaim until the latter half of the 1980s. By that time, the ''Chicago Tribune'' referred to her as "one of America's finest actresses."〔Blair, Iain. "Barbara Hershey's Class Act" ''Chicago Tribune''.January 8, 1989, pg. 4〕 Hershey won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries/TV Film for her role in ''A Killing in a Small Town'' (1990). She has also received Golden Globe nominations for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Mary Magdalene in Martin Scorsese's ''The Last Temptation of Christ'' (1988) and for her role in Jane Campion's ''Portrait of a Lady'' (1996). For the latter film, she was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and won the Los Angeles Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actress. In addition, she has won two Best Actress awards at the Cannes Film Festival for her roles in ''Shy People'' (1987) and ''A World Apart'' (1988). She also featured in Woody Allen's critically acclaimed ''Hannah and Her Sisters'' (1986), for which she was nominated for the British Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, Garry Marshall's melodrama ''Beaches'' (1988) and she earned a second British Academy Award nomination for Darren Aronofsky's ''Black Swan'' (2010). Establishing a reputation early in her career as a "hippie," Hershey experienced conflict between her personal life and her acting goals. Her career suffered a decline during a six-year relationship with actor David Carradine, with whom she had a child. She experimented with a change in stage name that she later regretted. During this time her personal life was highly publicized and ridiculed.〔Arar, Yardena.Actress Barbara ("Hershey Continues Hectic Screen Pace )". ''Lawrence Journal-World''. October 31, 1990.〕 It was not until she separated from Carradine and changed her stage name back to Hershey that her acting career became well established.〔Wright, Fred. ''(David Carradine is Human-Honest! )" ''The Evening Independent''.August 29, 1974, Pg. 3-B〕〔Scott, Vernon. Hollywood: "Welcome Home; Barbara Hershey". ''The Telegraph Gazette''. November 5, 1975.〕 Later in her career, she began to keep her personal life private.〔〔Lee, Luaina. ("For Hershey, Acting Was Childhood Outlet" ). ''Reading Eagle''. May 16, 1990. Pg. 40〕 ==Early life== Barbara Herzstein was born in Hollywood, California. She is the daughter of Melrose (née Moore) and Arnold Nathan Herzstein.〔Carradine, David. ''Endless Highway''. (1995) Journey Publishing. pg. 299〕 Her father, a horse racing columnist, was Jewish (his parents had emigrated from Hungary and Russia)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arnold N Herzstein 1910 census record )〕 and her mother, a native of Arkansas, was a Presbyterian of Irish descent. The youngest of three children, Barbara always wanted to be an actress. Her family nicknamed her "Sarah Bernhardt". She was shy in school and so quiet that people thought she was deaf. By the age of 10 she proved herself to be an "A" student. Her high school drama coach helped her find an agent and in 1965, at age 17, she landed a role on Sally Field's television series, ''Gidget''. She said that she found Field to be very supportive of her in her first acting role.〔Jachovich, Karen G. ("Barbara Hershey Drops Her Hippie Past and a Name, Seagull, and Her Career Finds Wings" ). ''People'' magazine. May 28, 1979, Vol.11, Number 21.〕 According to ''The New York Times All Movie Guide'', she graduated from Hollywood High School in 1966,〔Ankeny, Jason. (All Movie Guide ). ''New York Times''. Retrieved June 6, 2010.〕 but David Carradine, in his autobiography, said she dropped out of high school after she began acting.〔 Barbara's acting debut, three episodes of ''Gidget'', was followed by the short-lived television series, ''The Monroes'' (1966), which also featured Michael Anderson, Jr.. At this point, she had adopted the stage name of Hershey.〔"Barbara Hershey, Back on Earth". ''Lakeland Ledger''. August 31, 1979〕 Although she said that the series helped her career, she expressed some frustration with her role saying, "One week I was strong, the next, weak".〔Blake, John. ("No Bars for this Hershey" ) ''Pittsburgh Press'' May 4, 1968.Pg.6〕 While on the series, Hershey garnered several other roles, including one in Doris Day's final feature film, ''With Six You Get Eggroll''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barbara Hershey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
