Signed "To Don Best Wishes Ellen Burstyn"
One of the most popular actresses in film and television during the
1970s, Ellen Burstyn wowed critics and audiences alike with her
enormously skilled and sympathetic performances as strong and complex
women who struggle against what seem like insurmountable challenges in
such films as "The Last Picture Show" (1971), "The Exorcist" (1973) and
"Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" (1974), which earned her an Academy
Award in 1975. Despite her considerable talent and skill in both heavy
drama and comedies like "Same Time, Next Year" (1978), she found it
difficult to find substantial parts in the '80s, so she divided her time
between running the Actors Equity Association and roles in TV movies
like "The People vs. Jean Harris" (1981), as well as top-billing her own
short-lived sitcom, "The Ellen Burstyn Show" (ABC, 1986-87). The
actress gradually returned to feature films in the 1990s, which
culminated in a harrowing Academy Award-nominated turn as a woman in the
grip of addiction in Darren Aronofsky's "Requiem for a Dream" (2000).
Now back on every director's wish list, she followed this with a
succession of well-regarded projects, including "Divine Secrets of the
Ya-Ya Sisterhood" (2002), "Mitch Alborn's For One More Day" (2007) and
"W." (2008) as Barbara Bush. She also penned a 2007 memoir, Lessons in Becoming Myself,
which detailed her difficult upbringing and traumatic relationship with
her third husband, actor and writer Neil Burstyn (aka Neil Nephew).
Truly an
inspiration, Burstyn proved that women of any age could not only land
thoughtful, provocative roles, but dominate opposite their similarly
aged male counterparts.
