Barbara Bel Geddes

Retired from acting, she lives in Maine. Geneviève Bujold continues to work in film, primarily with independent production companies. In the 1984-1985 season she was replaced by Donna Reed because of Bel Geddes's heart surgery. Kate Mulgrew replaced her. From 1978 to 1991, Bel Geddes played Miss Ellie Ewing Farlow on the prime time soap opera Dallas. However, she dropped out after filming just a few scenes of Caretaker, the series' first episode, stating that the work schedule was too demanding. Her career restarted when Alfred Hitchcock cast her in four episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents as well as an important role in the movie Vertigo (1958). In 1995, she signed to play the lead character Kathryn Janeway in the American television series Star Trek: Voyager.

However, the House Unamerican Activities Committee investigations essentially ended her film career. In the ensuing years she gave many sterling performances but never reached the heights to which many believed were possible. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for I Remember Mama (1948). Her considerable acting skills had the media touting her to become one of the brightest stars but Bujold's temperament led to run-ins with her employer Universal Studios and she walked away from her contract, resulting in a lawsuit. Her film career began with 1947's The Long Night. For her powerful performance, she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a motion-picture drama as well as a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. Her most notable stage performance was originating the role of Maggie in Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof on Broadway in 1955. In 1969, she starred opposite Richard Burton in the film, Anne of the Thousand Days.

Bel Geddes, the daughter of architect Norman Bel Geddes, began as stage actress. In 1968, she was awarded the Prix Suzanne Bianchetti as the most promising young actress in French film and starred in Isabel, directed by her husband. Barbara Bel Geddes (born October 31, 1922) is an American actress. That year, she married director Paul Almond with whom she had a son. Bujold appeared in a variety of film roles for Canadian and U.S. television earning a 1967 Emmy Award nomination for her performance as Joan of Arc in an NBC "Hallmark Hall of Fame" presentation. This led to her staying in France for a time where she made more films with noted French directors such as Louis Malle.

Dramatically trained at Montreal's Conservatory of Dramatic Art, she got her big break while on tour with a theatrical company in Paris, France when prominent French director Alain Resnais selected her for a role opposite Yves Montand in La guerre est finie (1966). She disliked her school and its strict discipline and escaped the bleak world she was raised in to pursue a career in acting. Related to famous Québécois strongman, Louis Cyr, Geneviève Bujold was raised by strict Roman Catholic parents who sent her to a convent school for her full twelve years of education. Geneviève Bujold (born July 1, 1942 in Montréal, Quebec) is a Québécois actress.
