ESTELLE PARSONS
In the late 60's Estelle won an Oscar as best supporting actress in "Bonnie and Clyde" which also starred Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway and Gene Hackman. One year later Parsons earned a second Oscar nomination playing a religious fanatic in Paul Newman's "Rachel, Rachel". Specializing in playing fanatical or neurotic women, Estelle has found success on stage, screen and television.
Oscar award winning Estelle Parsons began her show business career in television and holds the distinction of being the first female political reporter on network television when she was hired by "The Today Show" in the 50's.
A native of Massachusettes, Estelle Parsons originally studdied to be a lawyer, and it was her background in law that attracted NBC to hire her right out of college. While at NBC she was one of eight people to put together the template for the original "Today Show" in the 50's.
In the 90's she would again find success on TV playing Roseanne Arnold's screechy lunatic mother on "Roseanne" for a ten year period.
Today, as Estelle Parsons enters her fifth decade in show business, she continues to be a much sought after actress, especially on stage. She also finds time to teach acting at Yale and Columbia Universities and serves as Artistic Director of the Actor's Studio.
