This actress was spotted in a rare sighting earlier this month while taking a relaxing stroll in Los Angeles, despite usually keeping a low profile. 

The stage and screen star is best known for her work in television in the 1990s, especially on the NBC series Sisters.

Yet, her first TV roles trace back to the 1960s, and she earned her reputation in theater well before rising to film and TV prominence in the 1970s.

This acclaimed star has garnered numerous Tony Award nominations — winning twice — for her stage work, along with Emmy nods for her television roles, including a win for a notable collaboration with Carol Burnett.

Despite having just turned 81, the flame-haired actress star looked years younger than her true age in photos obtained exclusively by the Daily Mail.

Can you guess who she is?

Despite having just turned 81, the flame-haired actress star looked years younger than her true age. Can you guess who she is?

She is the actress Swoosie Kurtz.

Kurtz — pronounced so it rhymes with ‘Lucy,’ rather than ‘boozy’ — was captured on camera while exercising in Los Angeles earlier in September.

She flaunted her svelte figure in a gray–blue button-up long-sleeve top with breast pockets, which she dressed down with navy sweatpants.

The actress wore a pair of comfy black Brooks trainers, and she accessorized with a smart watch.

She wore her shoulder-length red hair parted to the side and swept up at the ends.

Kurtz just recently celebrated her 81st birthday on September 6.

She has continued to stay busy on television in recent years, though she has focused more on behind-the-scenes voice work lately.

She made an appearance as recently as last year on the acclaimed animated series American Dad and previously lent her voice to various characters in the reboot of Rugrats and the animated comedy Bless The Harts.

Kurtz’s most recent on-screen appearance was on the Mayim Bialik–starring Fox series Call Me Kat, on which she was a series regular. 

The show was canceled in 2023 after three seasons. 

Kurtz, who was born in 1944 in Omaha, Nebraska, got her start on TV when she was just 17 with an appearance on The Donna Reed Show in 1962, and the following year she was featured on To Tell The Truth.

During the episode, her father, Colonel Frank Kurtz, appeared with two impostors while panelists had to guess who was the legitimate guest.

Kurtz had distinguished himself by winning a bronze medal at the 1932 Olympics for diving, before he became a decorated Army pilot and bomber who survived a Japanese attack in the Philippines just days after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Later in World War II he commanded a bombardment group in Italy beginning in 1944.

By 1971, Swoosie had established herself as a full-time actress with a role on the soap opera As The World Turns, but she also emphasized her acting bona fides with multiple acclaimed roles in the theatre during the ’70s.

During that period she won the prestigious ‘triple crown’ of theatre awards, the Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards for her role in Lanford Wilson’s Fifth Of July, and she later scored a second Tony win years later for appearing in John Guare’s The House Of Blue Leaves in 1986.
