Distinguishing Features: Could say mother in five syllables.
You Never Forget Your First: ''It was my first TV experience. We all got
along and the writing and directing were first-rate. It spoiled me.
Most of the stuff on now isn't very funny. I don't even watch sitcoms
anymore.''
On Being a Sex Symbol: ''I know I look better now than I
did then I was always on the zaftig side. I had a thyroid condition
straightened out and four years ago starting bodybuilding. I don't
look like this from plastic surgery.''
Life After Cancellation:Starred in ex-husband John Carpenter's The Fog and Escape From New York, as well as Wes Craven's Swamp Thing. ''I invested well and have
a nest egg. I can do things I really want to do.'' Last year Barbeau,
48, played a bustier-wearing biker mama on HBO's Dream On (''Not bad
for a woman over 40, huh?''). Currently, she's the voice of Catwoman
on Fox's animated Batman series and is in the upcoming Hollywood
Pictures film Fatherhood. Lives in L.A. with son Cody, 9 (from her
marriage to Carpenter), and her husband, producer Billy Van Zandt.
