Betty Lynn Buckley (born July 3, 1947) is an American stage, film and television actress and singer. She is a Tony Award winner and a 2012 American Theater Hall of Fame inductee. Buckley made her Broadway debut in 1969, in the musical 1776 and went on to appear in the Broadway musical Pippin in 1973. She played Ms. Collins, the gym teacher in the 1976 Brian de Palma film Carrie, before going on to star for four seasons in the ABC series Eight Is Enough (1977-1981). She won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her role as Grizabella in the 1982 original Broadway production of Cats. In 1983, she played country singer Dixie Scott in the Bruce Beresford film Tender Mercies, which features her rendition of the Academy Award nominated song "Over You". In 1988, she starred in the short-lived Broadway musical production of Carrie, this time playing Carrie's mother. From 1994-1996, she starred as Norma Desmond in the musical Sunset Boulevard in both London and New York, receiving an Olivier Award nomination. She then starred in the 1997 musical Triumph of Love, for which she was nominated for a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award. In the early 2000s, she received two Grammy Award nominations, for The Diaries of Adam and Eve and her 2001 album Stars and the Moon: Live at the Donmar. Other screen roles include her Daytime Emmy Award nominated roles in the TV specials Bobby and Sarah (1984) and Taking a Stand (1989), playing Harrison Ford's wife in the Roman Polanski film Frantic (1988), Kathy in the Woody Allen film Another Woman (1988) and a recurring role in the HBO series Oz (2001-2003).

#Quote
1My big dream was to be a world-champion [rodeo] barrel racer. My other was to sing on Broadway. I did one of them.
2I never moved to Hollywood trying to become a movie star. It's an interesting place, probably a daunting place. It's not a place I would try to go and knock people's doors down. But when things come my way, I'm glad to consider the roles.
