Barbara McNair was born in Chicago, IL on March 4, 1934, and studied music at the American Conservatory of Music also in Chicago. Barbara won her first big break on Arthur Godfrey’s “Talent Scouts” which began to open doors for her everywhere.

Entertainment wise she’s done it all. On Broadway she performed in “The Body Beautiful”, “No Strings” and “The Pajama Game.” On film she can be seen in “They call me MISTER Tibbs”, “If He Hollers Let Him Go”, and along side Elvis Presley and Mary Tyler Moore in “Change of Habit.” She even hosted her own variety show, lasting 52 episodes in syndication, beginning in the fall of 1969 and ending in 1971.
