Date of Birth : Mar 25th 1948
A lovely and luminous leading lady with a natural talent and innate sensitivity who never quite got her due, Bonnie Bedelia is a petite, dewy-eyed brunet who always gives you the real deal whether on film and TV. A genuine, very likable performer, she can just as easily play with your heart, play with your mind, play hardball with the boys or play up her tears with maximum feminine effect — sometimes all at once! In looks, style and appeal, she is quite reminiscent of another attractive actress of the 1970s who failed to fully garner the attention she deserved –Belinda Montgomery.
The native New Yorker was born Bonnie Bedelia Culkin on March 25, 1948, the daughter of Phillip Harley Culkin, a journalist, and Marian Ethel Wagner Culkin, a writer and editor. Trained in ballet, her parents guided all of the children at one time or another into acting (which included Christopher (Kit), Terry and Candace). Bonnie herself attended Quintano School for Young Professionals in New York at one point and Bonnie and Kit went on to appear on the local stage and TV. Brother Kit would later be known more for siring a handful of talented child actors and/or stars (Macaulay, Kieron, and the rest)
