Broadway beckoned and she drew attention in the \u003ci\u003ePal Joey\u003c\/i\u003e musical. When Hollywood called, she filled a dubious niche in small, wisecracking roles, wringing both comedy and tragedy from cheesy, dim-witted stereotypical strippers, gold-diggers, barflies, gun molls, and floozies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eBarbara scored great reviews in films, such as \u003ci\u003ePal Joey\u003c\/i\u003e (1957), \u003ci\u003eSweet Smell of Success\u003c\/i\u003e (1957) and \u003ci\u003eThe Pajama Game\u003c\/i\u003e (1957).

Forever haunted by her unbreakable image as “that kind of woman,” Barbara ultimately fell victim to the perilous price of fame, yet her sunny character and the hilarious anecdotes recalled by co-workers, directors, and relatives live on as a testament to her enduring appeal. The author has drawn from extensive interviews with Tab Hunter, Michael Dante, Marvin Kaplan, Paula Stewart, Barbara Luna, Mamie Van Doren, Shirley Knight, director William Byron Hillman, Barbara’s psychic, two of her relatives, fellow high school students, and friends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eFilmography.
