Tuesday Weld is still alive and has largely retired from acting. She was a prominent actress in the 1960s and 1970s.
Tuesday Weld began her acting career as a child and became a successful actress in her teenage years. Born on August 27, 1943, in New York City, she was named Susan Ker Weld by her parents, but her nickname “Tuesday” stuck. She made her screen debut at the age of 12 in the movie “The Wrong Man” (1956) directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
Weld gained recognition for her work in films such as “The Five Pennies” (1959), “Rally ‘Round the Flag, Boys!” (1958), and “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis” (1959-1962). Her performance in “Play It As It Lays” (1972) earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Weld continued to work in both film and television, with notable roles in “Looking for Mr. Goodbar” (1977) and “Once Upon a Time in America” (1984). Despite her success, she was known for turning down high-profile roles, including parts in “Bonnie and Clyde,” “Rosemary’s Baby,” and “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.”
In the 1990s, Weld’s appearances became less frequent, with roles in “Falling Down” (1993) and as a voice actress in the animated film “Feeling Minnesota” (1996). Her last credited screen appearance was in the television movie “Chelsea Walls” (2001).
Weld has been married three times and has a daughter, Natasha Harz, with her second husband, British actor, musician, and comedian Dudley Moore. Despite her retreat from the public eye, Weld’s performances have left a lasting impact on the film industry, and she remains a respected figure in Hollywood.
