Actor Born: February 1, 1940 in Vienna, Austria Death: September 7, 1996 in Los Angeles Biography:The daughter of Austrian actress "Gusti Huber", "Bibi Besch" has been a Hollywood fixture since 1977, and a TV regular since long before that. A versatile character actress with nary a trace of a European accent, Besch's film roles have ranged from Carol in "Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn" (1979) to Belle in "Steel Magnolias". Her television career has encompassed the daytime soaps The Edge of Night, The Secret Storm, Love Is a Many Splendored Thing, and "Somerset", and the nighttime serials The Secrets of Midland Heights (1980) and "The Hamptons" (1983). Devotees of the late "Northern Exposure" will have vivid memories of Bibi for her Emmy-nominated portrayal of the mother of Maggie O'Connell ("Janine Turner"), who reacts to a mid-life crisis by accidentally burning her daughter's home to the ground. In real life, "Bibi Besch" is the far less inflammatory mother of actress "Samantha Mathis". Besch... Full Biography
