Barbara Harris, Actress in `Freaky Friday,' `Family Plot,' Dies at 83
Actress Barbara Harris, known for roles in films like the original
"Freaky Friday" and multiple stints on Broadway, died on Tuesday
at age 83, the Chicago Sun Times reported. The actress was in Scottsdale,
Ariz. when she died of lung cancer.
 
Harris launched her career when she co-founded the Second City comedy
troupe in Chicago, Ill., later participating in the now world-renowned
group's first ever show. But her Second City performances were just the
beginning of Harris' flourishing career on the stage.
 
In 1967, Harris scored a best actress Tony award for her chameleon
performances as Eve, Passionella, and Princess Barbara in "The Apple
Tree." She was also nominated for two other Tony awards, including a
best featured actress nod for her Broadway debut in "From the Second
City" and another best actress nod for her work as Daisy Gamble in
1965's "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever."
