This Hollywood actress started her career as a successful model prior to making her film debut for legendary director John Huston in the movie Fat City (1972).

After portraying Jeff Bridges’s on-screen girlfriend in the sports drama, the star, now 77, became a hot commodity following her captivating performances in American Graffiti (1973) and The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976) with David Bowie.

The two-time Oscar nominee, who was inducted into the Oklahoma Movie Hall of Fame last year, has gone on to act in more than 50 movies and shows over her five-decade career.

The actress has garnered a variety of accolades during the course of her career thus far, including two Academy Award nominations. 

She is best known for her work in The Big Sleep (1978), Q (1982), Blue Thunder (1983), Amityville 3-D (1983), Cat’s Eye (1985) and At Close Range as well as The Blob (1988).

Her most recent work includes portraying the mom of Mark Whitacre, played by Matt Damon, in the 2009 film The Informant!, and guest appearances on shows like David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: The Return and Criminal Minds as A.J. Cook’s mom. 

Can you guess who she is? 

It is Candy Clark – best known for her role as Debbie Dunham in the 1973 film American Graffiti, which was shot in three weeks. 

The movie garnered an impressive $200 million at the box office on a $800,000 budget. 

Over the years, she has also started several businesses in between roles, including buying and selling houses and running a limousine business.

‘I never had all my eggs in one basket. I don’t believe in that. I don’t like sitting by the phone waiting for someone to call. I’m a take-action person,’ she said in an interview, per Norman Transcript. ‘I’ve parlayed my [acting] career into a good 30 or 40 years so I have no complaints.’

While previously speaking about working with Bowie in a 2016 interview with Variety, the star admitted that she had never seen him before until after wrapping their film.   

‘I went to one of his concerts after we finished the film and thank God I didn’t see him before the movie. I would have been in awe, a complete groupie!’ she confessed.

Clark noted that ‘David wasn’t a person who ever expressed what he was feeling’ and said ‘he never revealed anything he was feeling, such as ‘I’m so nervous,’ so you never knew what was going on inside him.’ 

She also recalled him only spending time with ‘his entourage.’

Clark earned an Oscar nomination for playing David Bowie’s love interest, Mary-Lou, in The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976)

‘So outside of acting together, we never had dinner or spent any non-working time together. He was very removed and quiet and of course this was perfect for me, because my character, Mary-Lou, (his lover) never knew what was going on inside Thomas Newton,’ she insisted. 

The film, which retains a cult following is about an alien that must pose as a human to save his dying planet. 

Bowie died, at age 69, in 2016 after battling cancer in secret for 18 months. 

Despite his cancer diagnosis, Bowie continued to make music, releasing his final album Blackstar just two days before he passed away.
