Corpus Christi native, actress Barbara Barrie dead at 95

Former Corpus Christi resident Barbara Barrie, an award-winning actress, died Oct. 28. She was 95. Barrie was diagnosed with terminal cancer and died by medically assisted suicide in New York City. The Medical Aid in Dying Act, signed into law in February by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, allows eligible terminally ill adults with a prognosis of six months or less to request medication prescribed by a physician to end their lives, subject to safeguards and eligibility requirements. Barrie's family moved to Corpus Christi from Chicago in 1939 when she was in elementary school. She graduated from Corpus Christi High School, now Miller High School, in 1949 and attended Del Mar College for one year. She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a major in drama in 1953. The actress won Best Actress at the 1964 Cannes Film Festival for her work in "One Potato, Two Potato," and was nominated for a Tony Award in 1971, an Academy Award in 1980 and three Emmy Awards from 1980 through 2003. Other film and television credits of Barrie's include the Disney movie "Hercules," "Barney Miller," "Breaking Away," "Private Benjamin," "Suddenly Susan" and "The Twilight Zone."
