Elegant, classically trained leading lady whose cool good looks and exceptional talent have kept her in demand for nearly four decades. Bloom received international notice in her second film, Charlie Chaplin's LIMELIGHT (1952), and, though her output was limited, distinguished herself in such excellent adaptations as Laurence Olivier's RICHARD III (1955), Tony Richardson's LOOK BACK IN ANGER (1958) and Dick Clement's A SEVERED HEAD (1971). More recently she turned in fine supporting roles in SAMMY AND ROSIE GET LAID (1987) and Woody Allen's CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS (1989). Married to actor Rod Steiger from 1959 to 1969 and to novelist Philip Roth since 1990.
