Barbara Harris retired from acting and began teaching. When asked in 2002 if she would resume her acting career, she said, "Well, if someone handed me something fantastic for $10 million, I'd work again. But I haven't worked in a long time as an actor. I don't miss it. I think the only thing that drew me to acting in the first place was the group of people I was working with: Ed Asner, Paul Sills, Mike Nichols, Elaine May. And all I really wanted to do back then was rehearsal. I was in it for the process, and I really resented having to go out and do a performance for an audience, because the process stopped; it had to freeze and be the same every night. It wasn't as interesting."
Although Barbara Harris' roles over a 30-year screen career were relatively few, she always kept them interesting.

Thank you, Bob, for this tribute to one of my favorites. Harris was such a ubiquitous figure in my twin interests in movies and theater that it's surprising how little she did.
The film (Seduction of Joe Tynan) would be the final co-starring role in a major Hollywood movie for Barbara Harris.
There was also the now-obscure Second-Hand Hearts from 1981 in which she co-starred with Robert Blake. It was directed by Hal Ashby.
