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."
