About Roxanne Hart

Roxanne Hart (born July 27, 1952) is an American actress. She played Brenda Wyatt in the 1986 film Highlander, and Nurse Camille Shutt on the CBS medical drama series Chicago Hope (1994–1998). Hart received a Tony Award nomination for her stage work. == Early life == Hart was born in Trenton, New Jersey, the daughter of Joan Irene (née McKee) and Edward J. Hart Jr. and the oldest of five children. Her father's work as a biology teacher who worked with NASA science projects took the family to Delaware, Colorado, Georgia, and Long Island as she grew up. She had no desire to act when she was young; she wanted to teach English at the college level. A course in Greek plays kindled her interest in acting when she was in college, and she decided to try that career. She attended Horace Greeley High School in Chappaqua, New York, and Webster College and graduated from Skidmore College. == Career == Hart gained early acting experience with the Syracuse Stage company.
