Award-winning actress and Golden Globe winner Barbara Rush has died at the age of 97.

The actress who was best known for her parts in Peyton Place and It Came From Outer Space died.

It was confirmed by her daughter Claudia Cowan that her mother died peacefully.

It was peaceful when my wonderful mother died this evening at 5:28. Fox News quoted her as saying, “I was with her this morning and know she was waiting for me to get 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.”

Her death comes just a few months after her daughter wrote an Instagram birthday tribute to her.

She shines like the sun and glows like the moon, Cowan wrote in January.

“Her age doesn’t change the sparkle in her eyes, the kindness in her heart, or the knowledge in her soul.”

“To me, she is 97 years young.”

Many famous actors and actresses, including Marlon Brando and Dean Martin, worked with Rush during her long and successful career.

The legendary actress was best known for the melodramas she did in the 1950s.

She began acting on stage, but it was in the 1953 science fiction horror movie It Came From Outer Space that she got her big break.

She won a prestigious Golden Globe for most promising newcomer – female for this role.

She went on to work with Frank Sinatra in the movies Robin and the Seven Hoods (1964) and Come Blow Your Horn (1963).

Rush was also a huge hit on TV, but she is best known for her role in Peyton Place.

For many seasons, she played Marsha Russell on the popular soap opera.

Rush worked on more than one soap opera. She played Eudora Weldon on NBC’s Flamingo Road.

After three marriages and divorces, Rush got a divorce.

First, she married actor Jeffery Hunter in 1950. Then, she married Warren Cowan in 1959. Finally, in 1970, she married sculptor Jim Gruzalski.

Rush had lived her last few years away from the attention of Hollywood.

That February, her daughter Claudia posted a picture of herself and her mom on Instagram.

Recently, Cowan wrote, “Time with my mom is extra special these days.”

As her time runs out, I’m going to see her as often as I can to show her how much I love and appreciate her.

“And, so that I know in my heart, neither of us has to worry.”
