Actor Born: June 19, 1928 in Buffalo, NY Death: June 18, 2000 Biography:Following extensive dramatic training at Carnegie Tech, American actress "Nancy Marchand" did some stage work, then entered the infant TV medium with a 1950 production of "Little Women". One year later she appeared on Broadway for the first time; for the rest of the '50s she fluctuated between on-stage classics (Shakespeare, Euripedes) and TV anthologies and soap operas. In later years, Nancy explained that she retreated to contemporary characters on TV because she was "tired of being a queen or a poor put-upon Greek" on stage. A handsome woman, but not voluptuously beautiful in the then-fashionable "Marilyn Monroe" tradition, Ms. Marchand was usually cast in character roles: she was the dateless "dog" with whom lonely Bronx butcher "Rod Steiger" fell in love in the original 1953 telecast of "Paddy Chayefsky"'s Marty. Marchand made her movie bow in another Chayefsky work, "The Bachelor Party"... Full Biography
