Timeline

1945

In 1945, Burns was born in New York City. She was educated (in order) at the Hunter College High School, Hunter College and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

The award was instead won by rival actress Goldie Hawn (1945-).

1961

The play was an adaptation of the 1961 novel by Muriel Spark, where fascist teacher Jean Brodie surrounds herself with a clique of elite female students. Burns won critical acclaim for her role and won a Clarence Derwent Award. Burns made her film debut in the coming-of-age teen drama "Last Summer". She portrayed Rhoda, a sensitive, conservative, and friendless teenage girl. The film depicts Rhoda's attempt to infiltrate a close-knit clique of older teenagers (one girl, two boys) who initially tolerate her. When Rhoda's behavior increasingly annoys her new "friends", the trio retaliate by co-operating in having Rhoda brutally raped. Burns won critical praise for this role and she received her only nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

1967

Burns made her acting debut in the television film "The Crucible" (1967), which depicted the Salem Witch trials (1692). Burns played the 18-year-olds servant girl Mary Warren, who was historically the oldest of the accusers at the trials. At the time, Burns herself was 22-years-old.

1968

Burns made her theatrical debut in 1968, performing in the play "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie".

1969

Catherine Burns was an American actress and children's book writer of Irish and Polish descent. She was once nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, for playing the rape victim Rhoda in "Last Summer" (1969).

From 1969 to 1970, Burns gained her first recurring role in television. She was the first actress to play the long-running character Cathy Craig in the soap opera "One Life to Live". As depicted by Burns, Cathy was a teenager suffering from Electra complex and obsessed with her father Dr. Jim Craig (played by Robert Milli). Cathy eventually rebels, becomes a drug addict, and kills her drug dealer during an LSD-fueled maniacal episode.

1971

In 1971, Burns published her first children's novel, "The Winter Bird". It concerned a little bird who does not migrate south for the winter, and founds refuge "in the unusual world of carousel horses". From then on Burns devoted much of her time to writing novels, screenplays, and stage plays. She reportedly preferred writing to acting, because she disliked the publicity and increased scrutiny that came with her acting success.

1972

The character continued to appear until 1978, with Burns replaced (in order) by actresses Jane Alice Brandon (1971-1972), Dorrie Kavanaugh (1972-1976), and Jennifer Harmon (1976-1978).
