Adrienne Jo Barbeau, born in 1945, rose to prominence as Broadway’s original Rizzo in Grease before finding TV fame as Carol Traynor in the sitcom Maude. In the early 1980s, she capitalized on her sex appeal with roles in horror and science fiction, including John Carpenter’s The Fog and George A. Romero’s Creepshow. A decade later, she lent her voice to Catwoman in Batman: The Animated Series. Barbeau continued to defy genre boundaries, appearing as Ruthie the snake dancer in the HBO series Carnivàle, while also authoring three books.
