Biography

Antonia Rey débute au théâtre durant les années 1950 dans son pays natal, avant de le fuir en 1961 pour s'installer définitivement aux États-Unis (dont elle obtient la citoyenneté). Elle poursuit sa carrière sur les planches notamment à Broadway (New York), où elle se produit pour la première fois en 1964-1965, dans la comédie musicale Bajour sur une musique de Walter Marks , aux côtés d'Herschel Bernardi et Chita Rivera.

Suivent entre autres trois pièces de Tennessee Williams, Camino Real (1970, avec Jean-Pierre Aumont et Jessica Tandy), Un tramway nommé Désir (1973, avec Lois Nettleton et Biff McGuire) et enfin La Rose tatouée (sa dernière prestation à Broadway, 1995, avec Anthony LaPaglia et Mercedes Ruehl).

Elle joue également Off-Broadway dans deux pièces, Simpson Street en 1979-1980 puis New York 1937 en 1990.

Au cinéma, elle contribue à une quarantaine de films (majoritairement américains), le premier sorti en 1964. Son deuxième film est Un shérif à New York de Don Siegel (1968, avec Clint Eastwood et Susan Clark). Ultérieurement, mentionnons le film musical Hair de Miloš Forman (1979, avec John Savage et Treat Williams), À la recherche de Garbo de Sidney Lumet (1984, avec Anne Bancroft et Ron Silver), Une journée en enfer de John McTiernan (1995,avec Bruce Willis et Jeremy Irons), ou encore le film d'animation Les Noces funèbres de Tim Burton et Mike Johnson (2005, avec les voix originales de Johnny Depp et Helena Bonham Carter). Son dernier film, également d'animation, est Alto de Mikki del Monico (2015, avec les voix originales d'Annabella Sciorra et Natalie Knepp).

À la télévision américaine, elle apparaît dans vingt-trois séries, dont Kojak (épisode pilote, 1973), Madame est servie (deux épisodes, 1988-1990), le feuilleton La Force du destin (trois épisodes, 1993) et New York, section criminelle (un épisode, 2002).

The film has several plot lines, one each for Ralphie, his father and his mother, followed by one involving Ralphie and his dad on a fishing trip. Ralphie's quest for most of the movie is to find a top tough enough to knock a bully's top out of a chalk circle in a game of "Kill". Meanwhile, Ralphie's dad has a series of skirmishes with his hillbilly neighbors, the Bumpuses, and all forty-three Bloodhounds named Big Red. The Old Man calls in Barkley, the family dog, to distract the Bumpuses' hounds when the Old Man comes home from work; when he gets out of the car, he accidentally steps in dog poop. Ralphie's mom would like to finally get something other than a Ronald Colman gravy boat on dish night at the local cinema. Scut, the main bully, is demoted, with a new head bully ruling over him.
