洛兰·加里
(1937)
Lorraine Gary
演员
Lorraine Gary was born on August 16th, 1937 in New York. Lorraine was
raised in Los Angeles. At age 16, she won a best actress award in a
competition at the prestigious Pasadena Playhouse. She was offered a
scholarship to enroll at the Pasadena Playhouse, but declined said
offer and attended Columbia University as a political science major,
instead. Lorraine began her acting career in the late 60s doing guest
appearances on several popular TV shows. Gary achieved her greatest and
most enduring fame with her excellent portrayal of Sheriff
Roy Scheider's caring and concerned wife in
the first two "Jaws" pictures. Lorraine further demonstrated her
considerable versatility with funny performances in the amusing
comedies Car Wash (1976),
Zero to Sixty (1978) and
1941 (1979). Among the television programs
she's done guest spots on are
The Rookies (1972),
Marcus Welby, M.D. (1969),
Kojak (1973),
Ironside (1967),
The F.B.I. (1965),
The Virginian (1962),
McCloud (1970) and
Dragnet 1967 (1967). She came
out of voluntary retirement to assume a rare substantial starring role
in the regrettably dreadful
Jaws: The Revenge (1987) but,
alas, hasn't acted in anything since that ill-received feature. She's
been married to MCA president
Sid Sheinberg for 60 years. Her sons,
Bill Sheinberg and
Jonathan Sheinberg are both film
producers. Moreover, Marty McFly's mother in
Back to the Future (1985) was
named after Lorraine Gary.
