Barkin was born in The Bronx, New York,[1] the daughter of Evelyn (née Rozin), a hospital administrator who worked at Jamaica Hospital, and Sol Barkin, a chemical salesman.[2][3][4] Her family was Jewish;[5][6] they had emigrated from Siberia and the Russian-Polish border.[7]
Barkin lived in Flushing, New York, and attended Parsons Junior High School. She received her high-school diploma at Manhattan's High School of Performing Arts.[1] She then attended Hunter College and double majored in history and drama. At one point, Barkin wanted to teach ancient history. She continued her acting education at New York City's Actors Studio. According to Time, she studied acting for 10 years before landing her first audition.[8]
Career
Ellen Barkin and Kate Bosworth at the Deauville American film festival in 2011
Her break-out role was in the comedy-drama film Diner (1982), written and directed by Barry Levinson,[1] for which she received favorable reviews. Barkin was cast in the drama filmTender Mercies (1983) after impressing its director Bruce Beresford during an audition in New York City, despite her inexperience and his lack of familiarity with her work. Robert Duvall, who played the lead role in Tender Mercies, said of Barkin, "She brings a real credibility to that part, plus she was young and attractive and had a certain sense of edge, a danger to her that was good for that part."[9] She also appeared in the 1983 rock and roll drama film Eddie and the Cruisers.
Barkin later appeared in several successful films, including the thrillers The Big Easy (1987), opposite Dennis Quaid and Sea of Love (1989), opposite Al Pacino. Barkin also appeared in off-Broadway plays, including a role as one of the roommates in Extremities, about an intended rape victim played by Susan Sarandon who turns the tables on her attacker. About her performance in the play Eden Court, The New York Times critic Frank Rich summarized: "If it were really possible to give the kiss of life to a corpse, the actress Ellen Barkin would be the one to do it. In Eden Court, the moribund play that has brought her to the Promenade Theater, Miss Barkin is tantalizingly alive from her bouncing blond ponytail to the long legs that gyrate wildly and involuntarily every time an Elvis Presley record plays on stage".[10]
From 2016 through 2019, Barkin starred as Janine "Smurf" Cody, the crime family's matriarch, in the TNT drama series Animal Kingdom.[13] The series is based on the 2010 Australian film where Smurf was played by Jacki Weaver.[14][15]
Personal life
Barkin is the mother of two children, Jack Daniel (born 1989) and Romy Marion (born 1992), from her first marriage, to actor Gabriel Byrne.[1] The two separated in 1993 and divorced in 1999, but are still close.[1] Byrne even attended Barkin's 2000 wedding to multibillionaire and businessman Ronald Perelman.[16] According to New York magazine, that marriage ended in divorce in 2006.[17]
In 1998, Barkin had a relationship with actor Johnny Depp who she worked with on Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.[citation needed] From 2008 to 2011, Barkin dated filmmaker Sam Levinson.[18][19]
In October 2006, "Magnificent Jewels from the Collection of Ellen Barkin" were sold for $20,369,200 at Christie's, New York.[20] In 2007, Barkin sued Perelman for $3.4 million in investment funds he allegedly promised to invest in their film production company.[21] He was ordered to pay her $4.3 million.
