You possessed breathtaking looks, but also excellent, acting chops, delivering a multilayered deftness to your many parts.
Among them, one will find Moon of the Wolf; The Black Shield of Falworth; Prince of Pirates; Captain Lightfoot; Quebec; Flaming Feather; Taza, Son of Cochise; Hombre; The First Legion; The Goldbergs 1950; Robin and the 7 Hoods; Strategy of Terror; The Eyes of Charles Sands; Magnificent Obsession 1954; The Jet Set; The Man; Superdad; Can't Stop the Music; Death Car on the Freeway; The Night the Bridge Fell Down; Peege; The Unknown; Flight to Hong Kong; Summer Lovers; Oh Men! Oh Women!; The Young Lions; No Down Payment; Harry Black and the Tiger; The Bramble Bush; Strangers When We Meet; The Last Day; World in My Corner; The Young Philadelphians; Come Blow Your Horn; and least we forget, your appreciated appearance as the conniving Nora Clavicle in the sardonic, Batman episode, "...The Ladies' Crime Club," plus your portrayal of Jaime Sommers' mom on The Bionic Woman; your poignant performance on Night Gallery's Lovecraftian "Cold Air"; your entrance into the dreamy Outer Limits experiment, "The Form of Things Unknown" and on the revival series' "The Balance of Nature," as well your placements on Peyton Place, Flamingo Road, All My Children and 7th Heaven?
For science-fiction-feature fans, you shined the brightest in George Pal/Rudolph Mate's When Worlds Collide and Jack Arnold/Ray Bradbury's It Came From Outer Space. Your enactment of Joyce Hendron in the former and Ellen Fields in the latter made a huge impact on many starry-eyed fans, creating characters who managed to charm during times of great crisis.
Beyond any doubt, you'll be missed and cherished in our memories, Ms. Rush, an enchanter whose admirable attributes will continue to invigorate the corridors of classic cinema.
