Lynn Bari
Lynn Bari (born Margaret Schuyler Fisher December 18, 1913 in Roanoke , Virginia , † November 20, 1989 in Santa Barbara , California ) was an American actress .
Life
After the death of her father, Bari's mother moved with her and her brother to Boston in 1926 and some time later to Los Angeles , where her mother's second husband directed the Institute of Religious Science. Her acting career began in 1933, but initially she received only very small, mostly nameless roles in films such as Giants of the Underworld , Murder in the Grand Hotel and The Man Nobody Saw . It wasn't until 1938 that Bari, whose stage name is made up of the names of the theater actress Lynn Fontanne and the author JM Barrie , was given bigger roles and was able to get through films like Mr. Moto and the betting fraud , King of the Toreros , Has anyone seen my bride? and Abbott and Costello are making a name for themselves as gangsters . In many films she appeared as the seductive, calculating "other woman" who made the leading actress the man in dispute.
Ultimately, she worked in around 160 films and from the 1950s on numerous television series, such as Perry Mason and FBI . Lynn Bari was married three times and had two children. Her daughter died in infancy. Their son was born two years later. Bari died of a heart attack in 1989 at the age of 75. Two stars on the Walk of Fame are dedicated to her. In 2010 the author Jeff Gordon published a biography about Bari under the title Foxy Lady , in which he also processed several interviews conducted shortly before her death.
