Actress Barbara Hershey, 78, was recently seen out and about in Los Angeles, running errands and picking up groceries. The acclaimed performer, whose career spans five decades, has starred alongside notable actors such as Mia Farrow and Natalie Portman.
Hershey, a native of Hollywood, California, was photographed making a trip to a local Gelson's market. She was dressed casually in a white maxi dress with a burgundy pattern and strappy sandals. At one point, she wore frameless glasses with pink accents. Later, she was seen emerging from her gated residence in a black dress to collect her mail.
Hershey's career began in the late 1960s with an appearance on the ABC series The Monroes. She made her film debut in 1968's With Six You Get Eggroll, starring opposite Doris Day. Her extensive filmography includes roles in significant films such as Martin Scorsese's Boxcar Bertha (1972), Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) alongside Mia Farrow, and Black Swan (2010), where she played Natalie Portman's mother.
She also portrayed Mary Magdalene in Scorsese's 1988 drama The Last Temptation of Christ. Earlier in 2026, Hershey reunited with Bette Midler, her co-star from the 1988 film Beaches. Midler shared a selfie of the two on Instagram, celebrating their reunion and long-standing connection.
Hershey gave birth to her only child, son Tom Carradine, in 1972. She was previously married to artist Stephen Douglas from 1992 for just over a year.
