A major star of the 1970s, Marsha Mason was born April 3, 1942, in St. Louis and attended Webster College. After an inauspicious film debut in the 1966 drive-in flick Hot Rod Hullabaloo, she studied acting and ballet in New York.Her next attempts at film roles were considerably more successful: Blume in Love (1973), followed by seemingly overnight stardom as a troubled hooker in Cinderella Liberty. For that performance, Mason earned a Best Actress Academy Award nomination; she was nominated again for The Goodbye Girl (1977), Chapter Two (1979) and Only When I Laugh (1981). She was married to the writer of all three, playwright Neil Simon, from 1973-81.
Mason's later movies included Heartbreak Ridge, Nick of Time, I Love Trouble, 2 Days in the Valley and Bride and Prejudice.
