Carol Eve Rossen[1](born August 12, 1937)[2] is an American actress.
Early years[edit]
Born in Los Angeles, California,[2] Rossen is the oldest of three children of director and producer Robert Rossen.[3] Accusations made against him during the Hollywood blacklisting years led to the family's living in Paris and in Westport, Connecticut. Her education included studying at the American Academy in Rome and graduating from Sarah Lawrence College.[3]
She was a writer and director while still in her teens.[4]
Career[edit]
After she finished college, Rossen acted in summer stock theatre, and she appeared on television in The Untouchables and Dr. Kildare.[3]
Rossen's Broadway credits include Nobody Loves an Albatross (1963) and The Glass Menagerie (1965).[2] She also acted at the Forum Lab Theatre.[3]
Book[edit]
In 1988, Dutton Books published Rossen's non-fiction book, Counterpunch: A Woman's Journey from the Terror of Violence through Rage to Survival (ISBN 978-0-525-24635-0). In it, she recounted her memories of being attacked while jogging on February 14, 1984, when a sledge-hammer-wielding attacker left her for dead in Will Rogers State Park. The book also related her strides in recovering both physically and emotionally.[5]
Personal life[edit]
Rossen was married to actor Hal Holbrook from 1966 to 1979.[1]
