About Adrienne Barbeau
Won The Theater Guild Award for her portrayal of Rizzo in the original Broadway production of "Grease." Years active: 1972–present.
She was a household name in the 80s for her roles in tv sitcoms in the 70s, namely Maude, and prominent 80s horror films such as The Fog and Stephen King's Creepshow, as well as PG-13 action/sci-fi films such as Swamp Thing, Escape from New York, and The Cannonball Run, which made her quite a sex symbol for teenagers at the time.
One could argue that her greatest achievement, though, was as the iconic and strong yet sultry voice actress for Selina Kyle AKA Catwoman in the 1990s' Batman The Animated Series.
