  A petite, blonde musical stage actor who has also worked in features and TV, the Texas native Buckley landed the role of Martha Jefferson in the Broadway musical "1776" upon arriving in New York in 1969. She followed that up with a role in the London production of "Promises Promises" where she picked up a Best Actress in a Musical award. She returned to New York, continuing to work both on and off-Broadway before director Trevor Nunn cast her in "Cats", the long running musical based on the writings of poet T.S. Eliot. As the jaded older cat Grizabella, Buckley sang "Memory" which became one of her musical signatures.

Buckley made her TV debut in the role of Abby on the hit family sitcom "Eight Is Enough" (1976-81), replacing Diana Hyland who had died suddenly after taping only four shows. Buckley also appeared in a number of TV specials including an ABC Afterschool drama, "Bobby and Sarah" for which she received a daytime Emmy nomination.

On the big screen, Buckley made her feature debut as the kindly gym teacher in "Carrie" (1976), but probably her best screen role was that of Dixie Scott, the flamboyant ex-wife of country singer Robert Duvall in Bruce Beresford's "Tender Mercies" (1982). Other notable appearances include Roman Polanski's thriller "Frantic" (1988) as Harrison Ford's disappearing wife, Woody Allen's less successful "Another Woman" (1988), as Ian Holm's first wife, and Lawrence Kasdan's uneven Western biopic "Wyatt Earp" (1994), as Virginia Earp.

In 1994, she replaced Patti LuPone in the London stage production of "Sunset Boulevard" and the following summer, Buckley made a triumphant return to Broadway replacing diva Glenn Close in the same role.
