There are so many stars in the modern Hollywood firmament that it is difficult to recall the idols of past years. And more and more films are released every year, and therefore young people have almost no time or desire to discover film classics for themselves. However, this is definitely worth doing. At least for such talented and incredibly beautiful actresses like Barbara Carrera.
The real name of the 1970 sex symbol is Barbara Kingsbury. Date of birth - January 31, 1945. Barbara was born in Nicaragua, but her father worked at the American embassy, and at the first opportunity the family of the future star moved to the United States.
Two years after moving to the States, at the age of 17, Barbara began her modeling career at Ford Models. She took part in photo and video filming of various advertising companies and immediately realized that she was going to be successful in this field. To strengthen it, Barbara decided to add her mother's surname to her colorful appearance, so she began working under the name Carrera.
Her film debut for Barbara, as well as for most models striving for Hollywood, was a cameo role: she played a fashion model in the film "The Riddle of the Bastard" (1970).
For her first major film work (the main role in the film "Shiny Shooter"), Carrera was nominated for a Golden Globe. And although the aspiring actress did not receive her award then, it was a brilliant start in her career.
Barbara Carrera embodied no less vivid image in the film adaptation of the science fiction novel by Herbert Wells "The Island of Dr. Moreau" in 1977.
The incomparable Barbara has played in films of various genres. One of such diverse works for her was filming in the action movie "Lone Wolf McQuaid", where her partner was the real star of this genre - Chuck Norris.
No less interesting was the appearance of Carrera in Bond, the painting Never Say Never (1983).
Barbara Carrera has repeatedly graced the covers of famous magazines. The actress ended her career early. Probably, she decided to remain in the memory of the audience young and irresistible. Since the 2000s, she has finally devoted herself to her old hobby - she has become a professional artist.
