With 170 screen credits and a career that has stretched across five decades, she has long been a familiar face to film and television audiences.
Still, many fans remember the accomplished actress most for her standout roles in major horror and sci-fi titles from the early 1980s.
She also wed the celebrated filmmaker behind three of her most recognizable movies, and even at 81, she shows no sign of stepping away from the camera.
In fact, she appeared in a film released earlier this year, while another project featuring the actress is currently in post-production.
Most recently, she was spotted during a rare public outing in Los Angeles, walking her dog.

The veteran actress has 170 credits to her name after a five-decade career. Can you guess who she is?
It is Adrienne Barbeau!
Barbeau braved the 90-degree temperatures in Los Angeles to take her dog on a walk this past weekend.
She was famously married to director John Carpenter from 1979 to 1984 and they worked together on three films: Someone’s Watching Me! (1978), The Fog (1980), and Escape from New York (1981).
The pair first met while making the made-for-television thriller Someone’s Watching Me!
It also starred Lauren Hutton and David Birney and aired on NBC in November 1978.
After their marriage, Barbeau was again cast by Carpenter in The Fog alongside Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Atkins, Janet Leigh and Hal Holbrook.
The supernatural horror film centered around a ship lured onto the rocks of Antonio Bay and sinking after being enveloped by a mysterious cloud. When the strange fog returns, legend had it, the victims rise from the depths to seek vengeance.
Her final film with Carpenter was the dystopian Escape from New York co-starring Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes and Harry Dean Stanton.
