 Adrienne Barbeau charmed by her role
Adrienne Barbeau views her role as Ruthie in HBO's "Carnivale" -- a drama series about a Depression-era traveling carnival and a California preacher's parallel battles with forces of good and evil -- as a wonderful gift from the casting gods.
However, Barbeau's role in "Carnivale" is giving her an opportunity to do things she's never done before.
Snake excrement aside, Barbeau says working on an HBO show was a strong draw for her and the quality of the show's writing has made going to work a pleasure.

 Adrienne Barbeau - Star of Escape From New York   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
She continued to build her fan base on the strength of Carpenter's work, appearing in a leadlng role in The Fog (1980)and a well-remembered, pneumatic supporting role in Escape From New York (1981).
Cannibal Women and the Avocado Jungle of Death (1989)is not as much fun as it sounds, and typifies the quality of the films in which Barbeau was to appear in the remainder of the 1980s.
With a frown congenitally welded to a face that became sharp early and an endomorphic, buxom form of quite average stature for the South of Italy, she possesses the indefinably attractive qualities of the street-smart city girl, with a touch of European fatalism thrown in.

Barbeau plays Ruthie, a snake dancer who works in the carnival as a barker for her son, strongman Gabriel (Brian Turk).
Barbeau recalls, "When I first read it, my thought was, 'It's "X-Files" out of Marjoe Gortner by David Lynch.' Somebody else said 'Grapes of Wrath' and Stephen King, but I don't see Stephen so much as 'X-Files.' Everybody is likening it to 'Twin Peaks,' but I never saw that.
Barbeau also reveals that the scene is with a younger man -- "Young enough to be my son," she says -- but she won't say who.
