Barbara Crampton is an American actress who first appeared on television in the American television series Days of Our Lives. But it’s just a melodrama, and this actress is a little different genre. And after a brief biography of Barbara Crampton, we will be convinced of this with concrete examples.
Curriculum Vitae
Barbara was born in 1958 in the town of Levitoun, located on a large densely populated island called Long Island (New York). True, she grew up in Vermont, and in the summer she traveled around the country with a carnival group, of which her father was a member.
Barbara began speaking as a child, she often took part in school plays. And she did not stop there. She studied theater art at Castleton University of Vermont. And after him, on the stage of one of the New York theaters, she played Cardelia in the Shakespearean production of King Lear.
Personal life
To achieve happiness in her personal life, Barbara was able only from the second attempt. In 1988, the actress married David Boyd, but two years later their marriage broke up. And the next husband was Robert Blackman, from whom she had two children.
To see?
The film career of the actress, as already noted, began in 1983, when she played the role of Trista Evans Bradford in the soap opera of the NBC channel “Days of Our Lives”. A year later, appeared in the role of Carol in the comedy television film Tony Bill's "Love Your Neighbor" (1984). Then again, a character named Carol played in the detective thriller "Shock Body". And in 1985, she received one of the main roles in Stuart Gordon's comedy horror film “The Resuscitator”, based on the story of the American writer G. F. Lovecraft “Herbert West - The Resuscitator” (1922).
In 1986, Barbara Crampton starred in Jim Wynorski’s horror film “In the Mall” about unhappy visitors to a department store equipped with the latest security systems that suddenly got out of hand. Then she got the lead role of Dr. Catherine McMiles in the film “From the outside” by Stuart Gordon (1986), again shot based on the Lovecraft novel of the same name. And two years later, her person attracted the attention of Charles Band, who invited the actress to the horror film “Frightening to trembling” (1988), another adaptation of Lovecraft.
In 1993, Barbara received one of the main roles in the movie Albert Band "Robot Wars", shot in the genre of "cyberpunk". She played Mindy Lewis in 35 episodes of the long-playing soap opera Guiding Light. Well, when Stuart Gordon made another attempt to make a decent "horror", the cast again led Barbara Crampton. Films of a similar genre at that time became its integral part. Therefore, the "Freak’s Castle" (1995), which tells about an ordinary family who inherited an old castle in Italy, would probably not have been removed without it.

And then she returned to her usual genre, starring in David DeKoto’s horror film “Sisterhood” (2004) about the lesbian vampire student society.
