Barbara is of mixed ancestry; her mother, Florencia Carrera is Nicaraguan native and also has European ancestry, while her father, Louis Kingsbury was American. Her parents divorced when she was only seven years old and her father moved to the USA. After several years living with her mother, Barbara came to the USA to live with her father and started attending Saint Joseph Academy, a convent school in Memphis, Tennessee. However, she didn’t stay long in Memphis, as she moved to New York City when she was 15 years old.

Barbara became a model at the Eileen Ford agency, and just before becoming a successful model, Barbara started using her mother’s maiden name. After several years of successful modeling, Barbara tried herself as an actress, and made her debut in Jery Schatzberg’s drama “Puzzle of a Downfall Child” (1970), starring Faye Dunaway, Barry Primus and Viveca Lindfors, but the fil, wasn’t successful, and Barbara returned to modeling. Nevertheless, five years later she starred in the western “The Master Gunfighter”, written and directed by Tom Laughlin, which was successful, and launched Barbara’s career in film. The following year she starred in the sci-fi horror “Embryo”, next to Rock Hudson and Diane Ladd, while in 1977 she had the lead role in the fantasy horror “The Island of Dr. Moreau”, directed by Don Taylor, and starring Burt Lancaster, Michael York and Nigel Davenport, based on H.G. Wells’ novel of the sametitle about a crazed scientist who is carrying out sinister experiments on the occupants of the notorious island.

Barbara then moved to small screens, portraying Clay Basket in the TV series “Centennial” (1978-1979), and Sheva in the TV series “Masada” in 1981. That year she was also selected for one of her most prominent roles, as Natalia Rambova in the action adventure comedy “Condorman” (1981), next to Oliver Reed and Michael Crawford. Barbara enjoyed success in the early ‘80s, as she featured in a number of blockbuster films, such as the crime drama “I, the Jury”, with Armand Assante and Laurene Landon, then the action drama “Lone Wold McQuade”, which starred Chuck Norris and David Carradine, then as SPECTRE assassin Fatima Blush opposite Sean Connery as James Bond, in “Never Say Never Again” (1983), all of which increased her wealth.

She continued to star in films, however, productions in which she appeared after the James Bond film didn’t become successful as the previous ones. In 1989 she starred with Bette Davis in the comedy fantasy “Wicked Stepmother”, then Barbara stayed active as an actress until the mid- 2000s, but none of her films reached success. She starred in such productions as “Night of the Archer” (1994), “Tryst” (1994), and “Alec to the Rescue” (1999). Barbara retired from acting after 2004 and her role of Katherine in the biopic about singer Patricia Paradise, entitled “Illusion Infinity”, starring Dee Wallace, and Timothy Bottoms.

Barbara is also a successful artist; starting in the ‘80s her work has been exhibited in the Makk Galleries, while in 2002 her work was showcased at the Hollywood Entertainment Museum. Some of her paintings have been sold for around $8,000, which also added to her wealth.

Regarding her personal life, Barbara has been married three times, firstly to Otto Kurt Freiherr von Hoffman, a German nobleman, from 1966 until 1972, then to Uva Harden, from 1972 until 1976.

Her third marriage was to Greek shipping magnate Nicholas Mark Marvoleon, who is the only surviving son of Manuel Basil Mavroleon. The two married in 1983 but later divorced.

Following the end of her third marriage, Barbara was in relationship with Henry Percy, 11th Duke of Northumberland, and also with Cameron Docherty, who is a journalist and biographer.

Stacey Lauretta Dash was born on 20 January 1967, in The Bronx, New York City USA, of Barbadian, Mexican and Afro-American descent. Stacey Dash is an actress in movies and on TV, perhaps best known for her parts in the TV series “The Cosby Show“ in the 1980s, and more recently “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”.

So just how rich is Stacey Dash? Stacy is now relatively comfortable with an estimated worth of $10 million, which wealth she has earned by starring in numerous movies and TV shows during a career in the entertainment industry spanning more than 30 years.

Stacey Dash Net Worth $10 Million

Stacy Dash made her debut in 1982 when she appeared in “Farrell for the People” alongside Ed O‘Neill. Then followed such famous shows as “The Cosby Show“, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “TV 101“. Her movie career started with the Richard Pryor film “Moving” (1988). The 80‘s were actually a really successful period for the young actress, since her other two movies, “Mo’ Money” and “Renaissance Man”, were also big hits. Her real big break, however, was in 1995 when she appeared in Amy Heckerling’s “Clueless” as Dionne Marie Davenport. The comedy, which was based on Jane Austen‘s novel “Emma”, was very well received and grossed $55 million, thus increasing Dash’s net worth considerably. The film also made her and fellow actresses Brittany Murphy and Alicia Silverstone true international stars, probably more so as it was soon made into TV series and Dash reprised her role as Dionne. The series ran from 1996 till 1999, and also featured actress and singer Cher. During that period, Stacy also appeared in films like the crime drama “Cold Around the Heart” (1997) and comedy “Personals” (1999). Naturally all of these appearances enhanced Stacy’s net worth.

Stacey Dash is also known for her appearances in music videos. In 2001 she was a part of the music video for the Carl Thomas song “Emotional”, and in 2004 she appeared alongside Kanye West in the music video for his single “All Falls Down.” At the same time Dash continued to have a successful film career with movies “American Primitive”, “I Could Never Be Your Woman”, “Nora’s Hair Salon II”, “Ghost Image” and “Fashion Victim”. She did not, however, forget television and appeared in the series “Single Ladies” in the role of Valerie Stokes but, unfortunately, she did not return for the second season. She was also a part of the reality TV show “Celebrity Circus”, in which celebrities had to perform circus tricks. Dash was one of the finalists, finishing second after Antonio Sabato, Jr. In addition, she also had guest roles in “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “The Game”. All these roles in movies and TV shows helped to increase her overall net worth.

Besides her acting career, Stacey Dash also has her own lingerie line “Letters of Marque” and posed for Playboy in 2006.

In her personal life, Stacy Dash was first married to Brian Lovell(1999-2000), and then James Maby(2005-06). She married Emmanuel Xuereb in 2007, but divorced him in 2010 and asked for restraining order against him, claiming physical abuse. Stacy also has a son fathered by R&B singer Christopher Williams, and a daughter (born 2003). She is very open about her political views and often uses Twitter to criticise certain public figures. Interestingly, she supported Barack Obama in 2008, but in the presidential elections of 2012 she expressed her support for Republican candidate Mitt Romney.
