Paula Prentiss: Prentiss Benjamin
built 138 days ago
Prentiss curtailed her schedule for much of the late 70s into the early 90s to concentrate on child-rearing, although she accepted the occasional juicy role. In "The Black Marble" (1980), she was a cop romantically involved with her partner, played Jack Lemmon's wife in Billy Wilder's last feature "Buddy, Buddy" (1981) and acted opposite Benjamin in the horror spoof "Saturday the 14th" (1981). Her small screen credits include the TV-movies "Packin' It In" (CBS, 1983) and "M.A.D.D.: Mothers Against Drunk Driving" (NBC, 1983). With her children grown and in college, she began to resume her career in earnest with guest appearances on "Murder, She Wrote" and "Burke's Law", an uncredited bit as a nasty nurse in the Benjamin-directed "Mrs. Winterbourne" (1996) and an L.A. stage role as a dying woman in "Angel's Share" in 1997.
