Joanna Barnes, 'The Parent Trap' and 'Spartacus' actress, dead at 89

The actress appeared in both versions of the classic comedy "The Parent Trap."

Her extensive television credits include starring in three series — "21 Beacon Street," "The Trials of O’Brien" and "Dateline Hollywood." She was a frequent guest on dozens of TV series, including "The Millionaire," "Mannix," "Murder, She Wrote" and "Cheers." Joanna was a guest on many of TV’s early quiz programs and chat shows, including "What’s My Line," "To Tell the Truth" and "The Johnny Carson Show."

Born in 1934 in Boston, she grew up in Hingham, Massachusetts. She was a graduate of Milton Academy and Smith College, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. She moved to California and soon drew the attention of audiences playing the ditsy debutante, Gloria Upson, in the 1958 film, "Auntie Mame." She was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for that performance.
