Born: December 11, 1953

Outgoing, athletic American actress Bess Armstrong attended Brown University, then headed off to New York to inaugurate a stage career. Bess and Lynnie_Greene were starred in the 1977 sitcom On_Our_Own, one of the last comedy programs to be taped in Manhattan. Movie offers began sprouting up afterwards: The Four Seasons (1981), in which Bess was costarred with Alan_Alda, Carol_Burnett, Jack_Weston and Sandy_Dennis, represents Ms. Armstrong's best screen work to date. The 1983 adventure High Road to China was intended to transform Bess and costar Tom_Selleck into action-movie stars, but failed. Since that time, Bess Armstrong has made films for both theatrical and direct-to-TV release, and has costarred in a brace of television series: All is Forgiven (1986) and Married_People (1990).
