Born: August 06, 1951

American actress Catherine Hicks was educated at St. Mary's Notre Dame and Cornell University; after several seasons of stage work, she launched a lengthy TV career. Hicks was seen regularly on the sitcom The_Bad_News_Bears (1978) and starred in the quasi-fantasy detective series Tucker's Witch (1979); she also portrayed Dr. Faith Coleridge on the ABC daytime drama Ryan's_Hope. On two occasions, Catherine has had the uneviable task of recreating roles essayed by well-known actresses in earlier films. She played the Gene_Tierney role in Bill Murray's remake of The_Razor's_Edge (1984), and the Barbara_Parkins role in the made-for-TV Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls (1990). In most films, Hicks has provided strong support to the name-above-the-title stars, notably in Peggy_Sue_Got_Married (1986) Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1984) and Garbo_Talks (1984). Leading roles came to Catherine Hicks in several films of the late '80s and early '90s: In She's Out of Control (1989), Catherine is Tony Danza's lady friend, and in Child's_Play (1988) she's the unlucky mom of the unluckier kid (Alex Vincent) who owns the malevolent "Chucky" doll.
