Marcia Gay Harden
Marcia Gay Harden, born on August 14, 1959, in La Jolla (California), was the third of five. Beverly Bushfield was her mother and Thad Harden who was serving in the army service, was her father. Family members moved frequently- she first became interested in the theatre when the family was in Greece and had attended plays in Athens. Harden was a student at American universities in Europe but returned to the US in 1983, to complete her degree at the University of Texas. She earned an MFA from NYU and started acting professionally. Though she appeared in a movie from 1986 for the lesser-known The Imagemaker (1986), her first mainstream role, coming alongside some TV films, was an edgy femme fatale in the Coen Brothers' cleverly offbeat tribute to gangster films, Miller's Crossing (1990). Harden received praise for her stunning performance as Verna, a seductive, difficult-to-control moll. Harden also played supporting parts. She played Ava Gardner, a TV biopic on Frank Sinatra.
