Barbara Carrera was born Barbara Kingsbury on December 31, 1945 in Bluefields, Nicaragua. This stunning former model became best known for her screen performances playing a sinister femme fatale. In doing so, she has achieved minor cult status and has quite a loyal fanbase. The tall and tanned Carrera first cropped up in minor roles taking advantage of her exotic features in El pistolero (1975), Embryo (1976) and L'île du docteur Moreau (1977). She broke through with mainstream North American audiences playing Clay Basket in the miniseries Colorado (1978), and Lucia Flavius Silva's mistress in the miniseries Masada (1981).
She sizzled on screen with Armand Assante as the sexy yet evil doctor in J'aurai ta peau (1982), was the love interest of Texas Ranger Chuck Norris in Œil pour œil (1983), and gave her best role to date as assassin Fatima Blush opposite Sean Connery in Jamais plus jamais (1983), and then as Emma Forsayth in the miniseries Emma: Queen of the South Seas (1988). In 1985-86, she played the role of business executive turned serial killer Angelica Nero on the primetime soap opera Dallas (1978). Carrera has most recently been seen guest starring on the popular television series 70s show (1998) and Amy (1999).
