Marcia Gay Harden
Marcia Gay Harden was born on August 14, 1959, in La Jolla, California, her third child from five. Her mother, Beverly (Bushfield) had been a homemaker, and her dad, Thad Harold Harden, was a soldier. She first developed an interest in the theatre when she lived with her family in Greece and attending plays in Athens. Harden started her college studies in Europe at American universities, and then returned to the US, where she completed her degree at the University of Texas. In 1983, Harden earned her MFA at NYU. Her previous roles included one movie in 1986 in The Imagemaker, but her first role as a principal was in Miller's Crossing, the Coen Brothers' offbeat, clever tribute to the gangster genre. Harden's sultry portrayal of Verna the mysterious and gorgeous mole, garnered positive reviewers. Harden also played supporting roles. She played Ava Gardner, a TV biopic based on Frank Sinatra.
