The name of actress Joanna Cassidy may not be on everyone’s lips, but in Hollywood she is well known. Before doing acting, she spent a year in college studying art, got married, divorced, and modeled in San Francisco.

The name of actress Joanna Cassidy may not be on everyone’s lips, but in Hollywood she is well known. Before doing acting, she spent a year in college studying art, got married, divorced, and modeled in San Francisco.
She first appeared on the screen in the film “Bullitt”, then played an equally tiny role in “Fools”, then continued to work as a model, but already worked on television in advertising. In 1974, Cassidy played something more intelligible in The Laughing Cop. The role was small, but profitable - Cassidy received two invitations at once that year.
Cassidy spent the 1997-98 season on television in the comedy series Shields and Yarnell. The film she did not forget, but there again came a relative lull until 1982, when Ridley Scott did not invite her to the role of Zora in the film "Blade Runner razor". Again, not the main character, but how much expression!
Cassidy, who has always specialized in the roles of strong spirit and body, independent and intelligent women, failed to find a cozy niche in the main Hollywood sky. Either the actress herself was too independent, or people, unable to overcome cliches and complexes, tend to see in the “weak” half of humanity only the decoration of the kitchen, nursery and church.
Recently, Joanna Cassidy has mostly starred in television and Westerns. And the most significant role in the film over the past decade is the role of Bob Hoskins’ girlfriend in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
