Barbara Carrera Biography
Barbara Kingsbury was born in San Carlos, Nicaragua. Her mother, Doña Florencia Carrera, was a Nicaraguan of European and Native ancestry, and her father, Louis Kingsbury, was a U.S. employee of the American embassy in Nicaragua.[4][5][6] There is some uncertainty regarding her year of birth, which some sources give as 1947 or 1951,[7] but most list 1945.[1][8] (She apparently prefers to say 1953.[9]) Kingsbury came to the U.S. at age ten and studied at the St. Joseph Academy in Memphis. She moved to New York at the age of fifteen.[10]
[edit] Career

Kingsbury began a career as a model at the Eileen Ford agency at the age of 17,[8] at which point she changed her last name to her mother's maiden name, Carrera.[3] In 1972, she appeared on the screen in a publicity role for the Chiquita bananas.[11] Her first film role was as a fashion model in Puzzle of a Downfall Child (1970), which fared poorly at the box office.
