Bianca Allaine Barnett

I was born in the Texas summer of 1981. I am, like most Americans, a mutt of sorts. My father's family is of Italian and French origin and my mother's lineage is Scots-Irish and English. My parents started a successful model kit company called Lunar Models which specialized in sci/fi, dinosaurs and famous monsters. This afforded me the opportunity to meet icons of the genre and sparked my passion for the fantasy of film.

My parents divorced when I was eight years old, and that is the first time I recall having a serious depressive episode. These episodes continue to plague me throughout my life. I was a very shy child, preferring to read as much as I could alone in my room or spend hours drawing everyday. My vivid imagination was an escape.

When my sisters and I went to visit my father in the country, we had access to his video camera and I would write and direct mini movies. They were humorously crude, but I soon realized I wanted to pursue a career in the film industry. I read every book I could find about film making and watched shows like Movie Magic to learn how things were done. Another turning point in my childhood was visiting Bob Burns' home in Burbank and seeing his personal collection of movie memorabillia. Getting an up-close view of the creatures from An American Werewolf in London and Alien, Lily Munster's gown, Linda Blair's head from The Exorcist and sitting in the original Time Machine... For a kid, this was sensory overload and it definitely left a lasting impression. I knew immediately that this was something I wanted to be a part of- the magic of film!

Once I graduated high school, I went to college to study to become a director. I had so many ideas in my head of films I wanted to make, but needed to learn the technical side of the art form. Much to my chagrin, the school focused mainly on television production which is a different medium. So, I dropped out, saved up a bit of money and moved west to Hollywood.

Modeling jobs seemed to come easier than acting for me. In the year 2000, started a website called "The Perils of Rock and Roll Decadence". That tiny site morphed into the wildly popular "Miss Bianca/ Bianca's Boudoir" which focused on my love for recreating the decadence of the Roarin' Twenties (and my own personal exhibitionsim). It had a definite punk rock, "I don't give a fuck about anything" attitude, which closely mirrored my personal life and ambition at that time. But, I have always been a creature of metamorphasis, and so I am on to a new chapter...

Which leads to present day, where I am more focused on myself and my purpose in this life... I am pursuing acting now whole heartedly and look forward to challenging and exciting roles and new characters to play.

Please stay tuned...
