Oscar-nominated actress, 76, worked with Martin Scorsese and Robert Redford. Can you guess who?

This Oscar-nominated star once romanced Warren Beatty and has starred in films directed by some of the greatest directors of the past century.

Recognized as one of the top actresses of her era, she has collaborated with renowned filmmakers like Robert Redford, Martin Scorsese, Jane Campion, and Darren Aronofsky.

In addition to her Academy Award nomination, she has won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for the 1990 television film A Killing In A Small Town.

Despite her roles in many critically acclaimed movies, she has also gained a dedicated following in the horror genre for her performances in The Entity (1982), Black Swan (2010) directed by Aronofsky, and the popular Insidious series.

One of her most recent films was the well-reviewed revenge thriller Strange Darling, which hit theaters earlier this year.

Could you identify the well-regarded 76-year-old actress who was seen at a Los Angeles salon last Saturday? She was wearing a maroon scoopneck top, black trousers, and practical sandals.

It’s Barbara Hershey, who boasted to ABC News a decade earlier: ‘I don’t do surgery or anything. I think I’ve always looked about 10 years younger than I am all my life. I think being healthy [helps]. I’m not a drinker. I haven’t abused myself.’

Last year, the Hollywood hippie-at-heart — who doesn’t eat sugar or grains — played wise beacon keeper Sophie in two episodes of MGM+ sci-fi psychological thriller, Beacon 23.

Barbara also memorably portrayed eccentric doomsday prepper Genevieve in JT Mollner’s critically-acclaimed serial killer thriller Strange Darling, which was shot by the actor Giovanni Ribisi, who made his debut as a cinematographer.

On December 5, Hershey (born Herzstein) scored a nomination for best supporting actress in a film at the 52nd Saturn Awards, which take place February 2 at Hilton Universal City in Los Angeles.

The Emmy winner faces heavy competition against Emma Corrin, Rebecca Ferguson, Juliette Lewis, Margaret Qualley, Cailee Spaeny and Zendaya.

On December 4, Bette Midler tagged Barbara in ‘a little Wednesday throwback for more holiday cheer’ of one of their scenes from their hit 1988 tear jerker about longtime female friendship, Beaches.

Hershey portrayed ailing attorney and single mother Hillary Whitney in Garry Marshall’s big-screen adaptation of Iris Rainer Dart’s 1985 novel, which earned $57M at the global box office from a $20M budget.

‘I kind of would like to revisit [Beaches], but in a completely different way. I mean, obviously the years have taken their toll, or whatever. I’ve aged, the character has got to be my age,’ the 79-year-old Divine Miss M told Newsweek in August.

‘That and the songs, the music that would be available to me at this point. Those catalogs are so vast, and these are all songs that people, three or four generations haven’t heard of now. Never heard. 

‘And of course, they don’t really seek it out because it’s not cool. So it would be great if I could revisit that character at this age. I think it would be marvelous and the songs would be great.’

When audiences last saw Bette’s admittedly selfish, bawdy character C.C. Bloom she had gained primary physical custody of Hillary’s daughter Victoria Essex (Grace Johnston).

The Golden Globe winner is also known for her roles in The Right Stuff (1983), The Natural (1984), The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), A Killing in a Small Town (1990), Falling Down (1993), The Portrait of a Lady (1996), Black Swan (2010) and Insidious (2011).

In 1965, Barbara made her acting debut, at age 17, in three episodes of the ABC sitcom Gidget starring two-time Oscar winner Sally Field.

On the personal front, Hershey mothered 52-year-old son Tom Carradine during her six-year relationship with her Heaven with a Gun costar David Carradine, which ended in 1975.

Barbara also dated her Drowning on Dry Land costar Naveen Andrews from 1999-2009 after divorcing artist Stephen Douglas in 1993 after only one year of wedded bliss.
