# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Buenos Aires on 17 April 1951 to Argentine singer Osvaldo Ribó and Englishwoman Alma Joy Hussey, she moved to England early and trained at London's Italia Conti Academy. A 1966 stage production of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie led to the audition that changed everything: Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet arrived in 1968, and her Juliet brought wide acclaim. She followed with the lead in cult slasher Black Christmas in 1974, reunited with Zeffirelli as Mary in the 1977 miniseries Jesus of Nazareth, and played Rosalie Otterbourne in Death on the Nile the next year. The 1980s took her across borders — Japan's Virus, Australia's Turkey Shoot — and in 1990 she appeared in Stephen King's It and as Norman Bates's mother in Psycho IV. Later years brought voice work in Star Wars video games, including Rogue Squadron and The Old Republic. She died on 27 December 2024.
