Award-winning actress and Golden Globe winner Barbara Rush has died at the age of 97.
The actress who was best known for her parts in Peyton Place and It Came From Outer Space died.
It was confirmed by her daughter Claudia Cowan that her mother died peacefully.
It was peaceful when my wonderful mother died this evening at 5:28. Fox News quoted her as saying, “I was with her this morning and know she was waiting for me to get home safely to transition.”
“It’s fitting she chose to leave on Easter as it was one of her favorite holidays and now, of course, Easter will have a deeper significance for me and my family.”
Her death comes just a few months after her daughter wrote an Instagram birthday tribute to her.
She shines like the sun and glows like the moon, Cowan wrote in January.
“Her age doesn’t change the sparkle in her eyes, the kindness in her heart, or the knowledge in her soul.”
“To me, she is 97 years young.”
Recently, Cowan wrote, “Time with my mom is extra special these days.”
As her time runs out, I’m going to see her as often as I can to show her how much I love and appreciate her.
“And, so that I know in my heart, neither of us has to worry.”
