Barbara Dare (born February 27, 1963) is the stage name of a Jewish-American former pornographic actress.[1] She was one of the industry's initial contract performers with Essex Video[2] and Vivid Entertainment[3] and is an AVN and XRCO Hall of Fame inductee.

Personal life

Dare was born in Wayne, New Jersey.[1] Early in her professional career, Dare self-identified as a lesbian, having personal relationships with women.[4][5]

Career

Dare began appearing in adult films in the mid-1980s and also made 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.[6]

Dare was one of the top adult film stars of the 1980s.[7] She appeared in scenes with several (at the time) top adult films stars, including Tracey Adams and Ginger Lynn.[8] She became one of the first women in the industry to sign an exclusivity contract with Essex Video for 10 movies a year and an annual salary of $150,000[9] and would later leave that studio to sign with Vivid Entertainment and become one of the earliest Vivid Girls.[10] Dare appeared in her last film in 1994.[1]

Jerry Butler stated in his autobiography that Dare had a "commanding screen presence" while on set, in spite of her smaller physical stature.[11]

Appearances

Dare was interviewed in 1987 for the episode of the television news series Frontline regarding the death of Shauna Grant.[12]

She also had minor roles in mainstream productions such as the Roy Scheider and Ann-Margret film 52 Pick-Up in 1986[13] and the live-action/animated Comedy-Horror B-movie Evil Toons (where she was credited as "Stacey Nix") in 1992.[14]
