Chula spent her early childhood in the working-class neighbourhood of Jamaica, N.Y., but her widowed mother, Abby Zuckerman, a booking agent for Leonard Bernstein, moved her two young children, first to Hawaii and then to California, to pursue work in the entertainment field after Chula's father, Larry Zuckerman, an auto mechanic and stock-car racer, was killed in a car race.[3] Growing up in Los Angeles, where her mother eventually remarried, Babz won a scholarship to the California Institute of the Arts and returned to New York after graduation to perform as a folk singer. In 1971 she and her first husband, Phillip Ciulla, relocated to Slocan Valley in British Columbia[4] before moving to Vancouver, where she resumed her acting and singing career under the respelled stage name Chula.[5] Her first major supporting role was in Sandy Wilson's award-winning film My American Cousin.
Chula was survived by her husband, cinematographer Larry Lynn, three children, two stepchildren and four grandchildren.[4] Five and a half years after her death, Lynn was ordained a Catholic priest.[6]

gollark: Exceptions automatically propagate
gollark: Not really.
gollark: Very verbose and easy to make mistakes with.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: In JS you used to have to explicitly handle callbacks for all that stuff, and then used to have to have a lot of `.then` calls on promises, but now we have `async`/`await` so it looks basically like regular code.
