Barbara was born in Louisville Kentucky in June of 1961. As a child Barbara loved to put on plays to entertain the neighborhood kids. At age 18 she attended her first modeling school. At age 49 after receiving several comments from strangers asking if she was a model and advising her that she should be, Barbara began to think there just may be a need for healthy, older, "real people" in this industry. Once again She took the leap and signed up for Modeling/Acting School and has not looked back. She has since appeared in roles from feature films, pilot series, training videos, and commercials. Whether cast as a background actor or in a featured role she is committed to her contribution towards its success.
