Barbara Dare (born February 27, 1963) is the stage name of an American former pornographic actress.
Early life
Dare was born in Wayne, New Jersey, United States.[1] She was led to the porn industry by her swinging lifestyle in New York City. She became such a fixture at the sex club Plato's Retreat in the early eighties that she was named "Miss Plato's".
Career
Dare began appearing in adult films in the mid-80's and also making regular appearances in magazines such as Hustler, Swank, and High Society. In 1989, she joined fellow adult film actress Stephanie Swift as authors of a monthly article for Swank.
Dare was one of the top adult film stars of the 1980s. She became one of the first women in the industry to sign an exclusivity contract with a studio. She would later leave that studio to sign with Vivid and become one of the earliest Vivid Girls. She appeared in her last film in 1994.
Jerry Butler stated in his autobiography that Dare had a "commanding screen presence" while on set, in spite of her smaller physical stature.
Mainstream appearances
Dare was interviewed in 1987 for the episode of the television news series Frontline.
She also had minor roles in mainstream productions such as the Roy Scheider and Ann-Margret film 52 Pick-Up in 1986 and the live-action/animated Comedy-Horror B-movie Evil Toons (where she was credited as "Stacey Nix") in 1992.
