Actress Priscilla Barnes, 70, made a rare appearance out and about in Los Angeles.
The Daily Mail reported that Barnes, known for her roles in the sitcom Three’s Company and the 1989 James Bond film Licence to Kill, was all smiles while walking in a residential area in L.A. The actress opted to wear a pink T-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and black tennis shoes. While she was photographed, Barnes held onto a glass containing a beverage and a tote bag.
Barnes started playing her Three’s Company character, nurse Terri Alden, during the show’s sixth season. While speaking to Antenna TV in 2017, alongside her Three’s Company castmates Richard Kline, Joyce DeWitt, and Jenilee Harrison, Barnes said she did not think she deserved the fame of being on Three’s Company. She explained that she immediately felt eyes on her because Terri was Jack Tripper and Janet Wood’s new roommate after Christmas “Chrissy” Snow (Suzanne Somers) and Cindy Snow (Harrison) left the apartment.
“I felt like an imposter the first table read because [the other actors] had earned being there. I had not earned being there. I had just came in for a part where the person who exited was high profile,” said Barnes during the interview.
She also said “it was hard coming in” to an established series, especially one in front of a live studio audience.
“It feels like you didn’t earn it and it was really fast. You have to hit the ground running,” said the Jane the Virgin actress.
She also said she nearly wasn’t hired because she “hadn’t done comedy” before the sitcom.
“I’d only done drama,” said Barnes.
In addition, the actress said she was typecast as a nurse after the series ended following its 8th season in 1984.
“Then after the show ended, I was only hired to play nurses,” said Barnes in the 2017 interview.
