Actor Born: August 7, 1939 in Lynn, MA Biography:Trained for an acting career by Uta Hagen and Herbert Bergdorf, Verna Bloom burst onto the Broadway scene in the role of psychotic somnambulist Charlotte Corday in the American production of Marat/Sade. Her first film was Haskell Wexler's "Medium Cool", playing the mother of incipient radical Mark Blankenship. She has since played character roles ranging from shopping-bag ladies to supercilious socialites in such films as "High Plains Drifter" (1971), "Heroes" (1977), "National Lampoon's Animal House" (1978) and "After Hours" (1985). In Martin Scorcese's "The Last Temptation of Christ", Verna was seen as a decidedly careworn Virgin Mary. Verna Bloom's television credits include several made for TV movies, including "Sarah T: Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic" (1975) and "Playing for Time" (1980). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
