And there are more and more films every year, and therefore young people have almost no time or desire to discover film classics. However, doing this is certainly worth it. At least for such talented and incredibly beautiful actresses like Barbara Carrera.

The real name for the 1970s 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 participated in photo and video filming of various advertising companies and immediately realized that she would succeed in this field. To strengthen it, Barbara decided to add the name of her mother to her colorful appearance, so she began to work under the name of Carrera.
The film debut for Barbara, as for most models aspiring to Hollywood, was the cameo role: she played the model in the film "The Enigma of the illegitimate" (1970).
