Highlander Star and Actor Husband Make Rare Public Appearance

A well-known Hollywood acting couple made a rare appearance together in Los Angeles late last week.

In exclusive images secured by the Daily Mail, the film and television veterans were photographed out and about as they ran shopping errands around the city.

The actress, 74, remains widely recognized for her memorable role in the 1986 fantasy cult classic Highlander, where she appeared alongside Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert.

While her screen career has spanned decades and includes numerous film credits, many viewers may know her best from her long-running television role as a nurse on a beloved medical drama.

Her 77-year-old husband has also built a familiar TV résumé through guest-starring roles, later expanding his work behind the camera as a director. More recently, he appeared in a major film project connected to Steven Spielberg.

So, can you identify this married pair of actors?

The 74-year-old actress is best known for her star turn in 1986's cult fantasy film Highlander, and her husband, 77, worked in a major Steven Spielberg film in the past decade. Can you guess who they are?

The 74-year-old actress is famed for her role in the 1986 cult fantasy movie Highlander, while her 77-year-old husband appeared in a major Steven Spielberg film within the last decade. Do you know who they are?

They’re Roxanne Hart and her husband Philip Casnoff!

The Daily Mail has reached out to Hart and Casnoff’s representatives for comment but has not yet received a response. 

The film and TV stars were spotted together while running errands as they headed back to the parking lot. 

Hart was dressed with LA’s recent heat wave in mind. She wore a wide-brimmed beige hat to block out the piercing sun, along with a breathable blue-and-white striped button-up shirt that she left only partially buttoned.

She completed her summery look with cropped black slacks and open-toe sandals with thick black straps.

Casnoff was dressed more casually with a sporty gray T-shirt and black athletic shorts, as well as a set of black New Balance trainers. 

Hart’s biggest role to date was as the present-day love interest of Christopher Lambert in 1986’s Highlander.

The French–American actor played a man born in the Scottish Highlands in the 16th century who learns that he is part of an immortal race of beings who battle for control of all humankind after encountering an older member of the same group (Sean Connery).

But after centuries of loss and tragedy, he comes to 1980s-era New York City for one final battle with an evil immortal competitor. 

Hart starred as a woman investigating a murder Lambert’s character was accused of, who develops romantic feelings for him after learning his true identity.

The actress later was a series regular on Chicago Hope from 1994 to 1998 as Nurse Camille Shutt.

Hart, who was born in Trenton, New Jersey, made her theatrical debut with a New York production of Peter Shaffer’s acclaimed play Equus, before going on tour with the production. 

She initially made a name for herself on the stage after appearing in multiple Broadway productions in the 1980s, culminating with her work in Peter Nichols’s Passion Play, which earned her the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play in 1983. 

Hart’s work in film began with an uncredited role in the 1979 adaptation of Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, and she was soon working opposite Paul Newman in 1982’s highly regarded legal drama The Verdict and George Burns in 1984’s Oh, God! You Devil.

Other notable films included 2002’s The Good Girl (with Jennifer Aniston and Jake Gyllenhaal) and Moonlight Mile (also with Gyllenhaal), as well as Art School Confidential and Clint Eastwood’s WWII drama Letters From Iwo Jima (both 2006). 

Hart married Casnoff in 1984, and the couple shares two sons.

Do you think Hollywood gives enough recognition to veteran actors after their early successes?

He got his start in film around the same time as his future wife, and after appearing in multiple low-budget films in the late ’70s and ’80s, he appeared in How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998) and the Hilary and Haylie Duff–starring teen comedy Material Girls (2006).

One of Casnoff’s most popular late roles was in 2017’s The Post, Steven Spielberg’s exploration of the controversy surrounding the publishing of the Pentagon Papers.

Casnoff appeared with Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep as the Washington Post reporter Chalmers Roberts, who wrote many of the Pentagon Papers stories for the publication. 

Casnoff was more prolific on television, where he’s best known for playing Major Elkanah Bent on the 1985 and ’86 miniseries North And South, as well as for playing the title role in 1992’s Sinatra, a TV movie about legendary crooner Frank Sinatra, which led to a Golden Globe nomination for Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television.
