Barbara Parkins was born in Vancouver, British Columbia on 22 May 1942.
In Valley of the Dolls, Barbara Parkins played Anne Welles, the naive small-town girl described as "the good girl with a million dollar face and all the bad breaks"—a character based on author Susann.
The film was trashed by the critics, although Parkins was one of the few to emerge unscathed. Nonetheless, it was a huge commercial success and eventually became a campy cult classic.
Susann herself, who hated the movie, felt Parkins was the only redeeming feature in it.
After visiting London in 1968 when she served as a bridesmaid at the wedding of Dolls co-star Sharon Tate and director Roman Polanski, Parkins decided to move to England, where she starred in several productions.
Among them were Puppet on a Chain, Shout at the Devil, and The Mephisto Waltz, with Alan Alda and Jacqueline Bisset. Parkins tried to capitalize on her sex symbol image by posing for nude pictorials in the May 1967, February 1970, and May 1976 editions of Playboy Magazine.
She spent most of the mid-70s appearing on American television in several mini-series, including Jennie: Lady Randolph Churchill with Lee Remick, Captains and the Kings with another Dolls co-star, Patty Duke, and The Testimony of Two Men with William Shatner.
She also appeared in guest shots on Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, Hotel, and Vega$.
