Barbara achieved prominence in the U.S. for her appearances in a series of "Chiquita Banana" commercials. Her debut film was 1970's Puzzle of a Downfall Child, but most filmgoers were first made aware of Barbara via her barely-dressed star turn in the 1976 sci-fier Embryo She was briefly a "James Bond girl" in 1983, playing seductive villainess Fatima Blush in Sean Connery's return to the 007 fold, Never Say Never Again.
