Netflix Movies Starring Barbara Luna

Barbara Ann Luna was born on March 2, 1939 in Manhattan and virtually grew up on Broadway. Her Italian, Hungarian, Spanish, Portuguese and Filipino background has led her to portray a variety of roles. Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II cast her in the Broadway hit musical "South Pacific", as Ngana, which was spoken entirely in French. When she outgrew her sarong, Luna, as she prefers to be called, was cast again by Rodgers and Hammerstein in "The King and I". When the show was closing after many years, Luna auditioned for the understudy role of Lotus Blossom in "Teahouse of the August Moon". Not only was she hired, but she was given the starring role--which was spoken entirely in Japanese--in the first national touring company for three years. While she was appearing with "Teahouse" in Los Angeles, she was seen by producer/director Mervyn LeRoy, who cast her as Camille, a blind girl who was the love interest for Frank Sinatra in The Devil at 4 O'Clock (1961), also starring Spencer Tracy.
