Fans think she’s “just as beautiful today as she was when she was younger.” Her journey to happiness wasn’t easy — it took her two decades to heal from the torment caused by her ex-husband who was schizophrenic.
At 92, Ellen Burstyn continues to defy the odds in an industry often dismissive of age. With a career spanning over six decades in film, TV, and theater, she’s one of the most accomplished performers of all time.
Starting as a showgirl and model in the 1950s, she became a household name by the 1970s, known for her profound, authentic performances. Her roles in The Exorcist and Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore earned her critical acclaim, an Academy Award, and the rare Triple Crown of Acting (Oscar, Emmy, Tony).
Despite personal struggles, including a difficult marriage, Burstyn’s resilience turned her challenges into a source of strength, solidifying her legacy in Hollywood.
