BIO

Large, vivacious American actress who pulls off portraying anything from menaces to twaddlers, and whose versatility and range have earned her a solid reputation in a business which otherwise focuses on exteriors and beauty in female performers. She did, however, arrive late in the movie business after appearing on stage for over a decade. Her first notable role was as Gary Busey's wife in the 1978 drama Straight Time. But it was her role as Annie Wilkes in Stephen King's Misery that propelled her to subsequent leading roles and fame.
