Biography

The daughter of actress Rebecca Welles, slender leading lady Gwen Welles made her first film, A Safe Place, under the direction of Henry Jaglom. It was for another improvisational director, Robert Altman, that she delivered her most fondly remembered screen performance: Suellen Grey, the enthusiastic but hopelessly inept country-western singer, in Nashville (1975). She then virtually disappeared from sight, only to resurface in such 1980s films as Nobody's Fool (1986) and New Year's Day (1989). During this period, she was married to actor Harris Yulin. Gwen Welles died of cancer at the age of 42; her last film, Boys Life, was released nearly two years after her death.

Trivia

No relation to actress Rebecca Welles.
Reedy, red-haired American actress who played sexy, uninhibited roles in the 70s and 80s.
Gwen's friend producer/director Donna Deitch directed a documentary about the fatal illness and subsequent death of Gwen. Diagnosed with an cancerous tumor in 1992, she opted not to take the conventional treatment route, and the film shows her gradual deterioration. Shot on video with a later transfer to 16mm, this film was shown at the 1998 Berlin Film Festival.
