Biography: "Diana Barrows was an enfant terrible of the New York showbiz scene. Hardly out of her cradle, she took her first piano, singing and dancing lessons, learning the art of seduction shooting diaper and cornflakes commercials. Still a child, she stepped on stage - appearing in various roles including an orphan in the Broadway hit, Annie, opposite Sarah Jessica Parker. A few years later - after a tap tribute to James Cagney - she became lead singer and dancer of The New York Fire Crackers, a young talentgang's band that went touring Japan for a year.
After her B.F.A. from N.Y.U., she then decided to brave simultaneously the worlds of theatre, cinema, TV and music-hall, orchestrating her career as she went along. "I wanted to explore everything," she says, "both inside and outside the mainstream - I still do, convinced that if it's any good, the acting will speak for itself."
Her Broadway credits include a remarkable 'Trixie', in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. Off-Broadway, she was part of many productions, appearing also as 'Geraldine' in Panama Hattie. For TV, she strung together a number of series, sitcoms, and movies of the week. For Hollywood, she specializes a while in horror movies (Friday the 13th, VII), yet also won roles in sophisticated thrillers (Ford Fairlane), romances and spoofs (My Mom's a Werewolf).
Barrows is also a prolific singer. Her first single, Looking for You (Random Records), received a very positive response from the clubs and radio stations of the West Coast as it climbed the charts. Yet to be fair to her musical (and personal) growth, one should be hipped about her extensive travelling - from Brazil to Siberia - she always took as opportunities to foray different musical and dance realms. As all Latin singers, she considers her voice her instrument.
Diana Barrows is currently working on a musical about the life of Frida Kahlo. With several projects in the works, she recently starred in a film based on Debord's La Société du Spectacle, whose voice critics say 'she makes us hear for the first time.'" - Official Diana Barrows Site
