This statuesque, auburn-haired New Jersey native began her career as a print model in San Francisco. After appearing in small roles in "Bullitt" (1968) and "Fools" (1970), she relocated to L.A. to pursue an acting career. She went on to play supporting roles in a number of memorable features in the 1970s and early 80s, including Bob Rafelson's "Stay Hungry" (1976), Robert Benton's "The Late Show" (1977) and Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" (1982). Cassidy gave a superb performance as a tough journalist covering revolutionary Nicaragua in Roger Spottiswoode's overlooked gem "Under Fire" (1982).
