Dare's entry into the adult film industry occurred in the mid-1980s, influenced by her adventurous lifestyle at the famous swinger's club, Plato's Retreat.

Over her career, she starred in more than 100 adult films, establishing herself as a leading figure in the industry.

Her exceptional talent earned her the AVN Best New Starlet Award in 1987, followed by accolades for Best Actress in 1989 and Best All-Girl Sex Scene in 1990.

After stepping back from adult films in the early 1990s, Barbara briefly transitioned to a public relations role at Essex Video and toured as a professional stripper. Having overcome struggles with addiction, she now dedicates her life to helping others as a substance abuse counselor.
