ABC Barbara Barrie, the Oscar-, Emmy- and Tony-nominated actress who starred in the original production of “Company” and in films including “Breaking Away,” died Wednesday in Manhattan. She was 95.
Her daughter confirmed her death to the New York Times and said Barrie’s death was medically assisted following a terminal cancer diagnosis.
On stage, Barrie made her Broadway debut in 1955 in “The Wooden Dish,” and went on to perform in roles across Broadway and off for more than 60 years until she took her last bow in “Significant Other.” She starred in 1976’s “California Suite,” 1958’s “The Crucible,” and in both “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “The Taming of the Shrew” from 1958-1959. She was, most notably, a member of the original Broadway cast of “Company,” Stephen Sondheim’s acclaimed 1970s musical. She was nominated for a Tony for best featured actress in a musical for the role of Sarah.
