Born in London, England, she had a long, extensive, varied career on film, television and stage in both Canada and the United States.
Her stage roles included Lady Macbeth (Macbeth), Katharina (The Taming of the Shrew) and Martha (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf). Her more notable film roles included the roles of "Dr. Ruth Leavitt" in The Andromeda Strain, and as the scene-stealing alcoholic "Claire" in the film version of Edward Albee's stage play, A Delicate Balance. She also played the scheming/domineering mother of Natalie Wood in This Property is Condemned, although she was only 8 years older than Ms. Wood.
