Marcia Gay Harden
Marcia Gay Harden, born August 14, 1959 in La Jolla (California), was the third child of five. Beverly Bushfield was her mother. She was a housewife and her husband Thad Harold Harden was in the army. Families moved often- she first became interested in the theatre when the family was in Greece and she seen plays in Athens. Harden attended American Universities across Europe, then returned to the US after 1983 to continue her studies at the University of Texas. She earned an MFA from NYU and began her acting career. Miller's Crossing was the Coen Brothers humorous homage of the 1990 gangster film, Miller's Crossing. Although Harden had appeared in movies since 1986 (in the less-known The Imagemaker), she performed a romantic female lead in her first mainstream performance. Harden's gorgeous portrayal as Verna, an enigmatic, attractive moll, was praised by reviews. Harden continued to work steadily as a supporting character, such as the role of Ava Gardner in Sinatra (1992), a television biopic that focused on Frank Sinatra.
