Barbara Bain, the talented and beloved actress, was recently spotted in Los Angeles preparing for the holiday season. The 93-year-old star, best known for her role as Cinnamon Carter Crawford on the hit TV series Mission: Impossible, was seen out and about during a rare outing.
Her iconic role on the CBS action series, which aired from 1966 to 1973 and inspired the popular Tom Cruise films, earned her three Primetime Emmy awards and a Golden Globe nomination. Alongside her co-stars Steven Hill, Greg Morris, and Peter Lupus, she captivated audiences with her portrayal of the strong and intelligent Cinnamon Carter. Her on-screen chemistry with her husband, Martin Landau, who she married in 1957 before divorcing in 1993, also added to the success of the show.
But her talents extend far beyond Mission: Impossible. She also wowed audiences in the British sci-fi show Space: 1999 as Dr. Helena Russell, and has appeared in numerous films such as Animals with the Tollkeeper, Panic, Forget Me Not, and On The Rocks. Her impressive career spans over six decades, with earlier TV appearances in Tightrope, The Law and Mr Jones, Adventures in Paradise, and Straightaway, and later in Walker, Texas Ranger and an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
Recently, Barbara has continued to showcase her talents, appearing in an episode of Space Command in 2020 and lending her voice to a character in Ben 10: Alien Force, where she worked alongside her daughter Juliet Landau. This Christmas Eve, she was spotted in Los Angeles loading up her car with groceries from Bristol Farms. Dressed in dark grey trousers, a black hoodie, and a cream cap with sunglasses, she drove herself in a Mercedes after her shopping trip.
In addition to her impressive acting career, Barbara has also been an inspiration to many. As one of the first leading female agents on TV, she broke barriers and paved the way for future generations. She has received letters from young women who were inspired by her character on Mission: Impossible to pursue their dreams and achieve their goals. She even received a letter from a retired NASA employee who was motivated to follow her dreams because of Barbara's portrayal of a strong and capable woman.
Barbara expressed her gratitude for the impact she has had on others, stating, "You're not sure of the impact you have while you're doing it. I'm forever being stopped in markets and told these stories, which is just great." Her legacy as a talented actress and trailblazer continues to live on, and she remains a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.
