Meg Foster, an American actress of striking presence, carved her cinematic niche in the late 1970s and early 1980s with roles that demanded both vulnerability and strength. Her turn as Hester Prynne in "The Scarlet Letter" (1979) showcased her ability to embody historical drama with quiet intensity, while her portrayal of Ingrid in "Ticket to Heaven" (1981) revealed a more enigmatic and ethereal quality. Foster's career took an unexpected turn with her appearance as the enigmatic Holly in John Carpenter's "They Live" (1988), adding a layer of irony and resilience to the sci-fi satire.
