Family Tree

The illustrious Prentiss dynasty has been a mainstay of show business for generations. It all began in 1958 when talent scout discovered Paula Prentiss at Northwestern University, signing her to Metro Goldwyn Mayer and launching her career in a string of comedies. Her funny voice inflections, free acting style and brunette good looks established her as a leading lady of the screwball type, although she was also very good in dramatic roles. Her success was followed by her husband, Richard Benjamin, who co-starred with her in the cult TV series He & She (1967), and won the starring role in the screen adaptation of Philip Roth's best-seller, Goodbye, Columbus (1969). Their son Ross Benjamin is an actor and assistant director, known for Heels (2021), Harry's Law (2011) and Tracey Takes On... (1996). Sadly, the matriarch of the Prentiss Dynasty, Paula, passed away in 2010, but her legacy continues to live on.
