This Oscar-nominated ex-wife of an iconic Hollywood director looked nearly unrecognizable as she stepped out in Bedford, New York recently.
The actress and singer, now 71, memorably starred in Barbra Streisand’s 1983 musical which scored her a Best Supporting Actress nomination.
She famously secured one of the most substantial divorce settlements on record, receiving $100 million from her Academy Award-winning ex-husband, following a controversial annulment of their prenuptial agreement.
The star is also known for her role as Sue Snell in 1976 horror classic Carrie.
In April 2023, the star released her first album, Born In a Trunk, after a storied Broadway career.
So can you guess who she is?

The 71-year-old actress and singer is best known for her role in Barbra Streisand’s 1983 musical, which earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress – can you guess her identity?
It’s Amy Irving! The actress and ex-wife of Steven Spielberg enjoyed a casual outing with third husband Kenneth Bowser, 74.
Irving reaped one of the largest divorce settlements in Hollywood history from Spielberg in 1989.
She recently revealed she and Bowser even enjoy the odd cozy double date with the 78-year-old legendary filmmaker and his second wife Kate Capshaw.
‘We’ve always communicated and been close,’ Amy told THR’s It Happened in Hollywood Podcast earlier this year.
‘He and Kate and my husband and I, we try to double-date now and then,’ she continued.
Irving first encountered Steven in 1976 during an audition for his movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Although she didn’t secure the role due to her age, they began dating, and she eventually moved into his bachelor apartment.
Spielberg had promised this Oscar nominee the role of Marion Ravenwood in Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark, but following their breakup in 1979, Karen Allen was cast in the coveted role instead.
The two Oscar winners didn’t reunite until 1984 in India, where she was filming the HBO miniseries The Far Pavilions, while he was scouting locations for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Irving said she thought they ‘were meant to make Max’ – their 41-year-old son, who’s currently the co-founder of video game company FuzzyBot.
Back in 1994, Amy confessed that she ‘felt like a politician’s wife’ during the marriage because ‘there were certain things expected of me that definitely weren’t me.’
‘I think it hurt being Steven Spielberg’s wife and then it hurt being the ex-Mrs. Steven Spielberg. It was awkward for a while. I don’t know why. I only know that I felt nonexistent,’ Irving told the LA Times.
‘I’d do a movie with Steven, but I think it would be awkward for him. Our friendship is very valuable to us, and that would probably put a strain on it.’
Irving lived close to Steven in order to share physical custody of their only child and she scored the settlement after a judge vacated their prenuptial agreement, which had been written on a napkin without an attorney present.
But it barely caused a dent in Spielberg’s fortune considering he’s worth a reported $5.3billion as of 2025.
The SAG Award winner also welcomed 35-year-old son Gabriel Davis Barreto during her nine-year marriage to Brazilian film director Bruno Barreto, which ended in 2005.

Irving’s last acting gig was playing Amanda Seyfried’s onscreen mother Bobbi Davis in Amy Koppelman’s 2021 psychological drama A Mouthful of Air, which only earned $269K back from its $2.3M budget at the box office.
The two-time Golden Globe nominee is best known for her roles in Carrie (1976), Yentl (1983), Traffic (2000), and she provided Jessica Rabbit’s singing voice in Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988).
