Barbara Dare (born February 27, 1963) is an 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[4] and XRCO Hall of Fame inductee.[5]

Personal life

Dare was born in Wichita Falls, Texas.[2] After her father, a dentist, left the Air Force, the family moved to Wayne, New Jersey.[2] She was raised in the Jewish faith.[2] Early in her professional career, Dare self-identified as a lesbian, having personal relationships with women.[6]

Dare spent several years addicted to drugs, including heroin. She got sober and became a Certified Addiction and Substance Abuse Counselor.[7]

Career

Dare began appearing in adult films in the mid-1980s after meeting people who were involved in the adult film industry at Plato's Retreat[8] and also made appearances in magazines such as Hustler, Swank, and High Society. In 1989, she joined fellow adult film actress Stephanie Rage as authors of a monthly article for Swank.[9]

Dare was one of the top adult film stars of the 1980s.[10] She appeared in scenes with several (at the time) top adult films stars, including Tracey Adams and Ginger Lynn.[3] 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[11] and would later leave that studio to sign with Vivid Entertainment and become one of the earliest Vivid Girls.[12] Dare's final film was Bratgirl (1992); she retired 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.[13]

Dare also worked as a stripper, commanding a $10,000 weekly salary.[14]

Appearances

Dare was interviewed in 1987 for the episode of the television news series Frontline regarding the death of Shauna Grant.[15]

She also had minor roles in mainstream productions such as the Roy Scheider and Ann-Margret film 52 Pick-Up in 1986[16] and the live-action/animated comedy-horror B-movie Evil Toons (where she was credited as "Stacey Nix") in 1992.[17]

In the August 1992 issue of Esquire, Dare was profiled in their annual feature "Women We Love".[18][19]
