Barbara was a frequent panelist on “Match Game,” a top notch 1970s game show hosted by Gene Rayburn. She was a recurring cast member on the 1977 sitcom “Busting Loose” as Melody Feebeck, then in 1989 she returned as Jessica Gardner on “Generations.” Barbara had a recurring role again in 2011 as Irene Manning on the popular American soap opera “One Life to Live”.
