Priscilla Barnes was the third of four children of a father who was a major in the US Air Force, and a homemaker mother. She grew up in California after her family settled there, and went to Antelope Valley High School, from where she matriculated at age 17. Barnes then moved to San Diego to work as a waitress and dancer, where comedy star Bob Hope ‘discovered’ her in a fashion show, and she joined his company for a short time, after which she moved to Los Angeles to try her luck in the movie industry.

By the end of the ‘90s, Priscilla had appeared alongside Loren Dean, Hope Davis, and Jason Lee in “Mumford” (1999), steadily building her net worth.

In 2005, Barnes played in Rob Zombie’s “The Devil’s Rejects” with Sid Haig, Sheri Moon Zombie and Bill Moseley, while in 2006 she had a role in “The Visitation” alongside Martin Donovan, Edward Furlong, and Kelly Lynch.

Quote
1 I was the black sheep, so I became very dramatic.
2 [about her first audition for Three’s Company (1976) for the role of Cindy that she lost to Jenilee Harrison] I read for them, but they turned me down. They wanted someone younger. In Hollywood, you’re over the hill when you are 25.
Fact
1 Her personal favorite episode of “Three’s Company” is titled “Cooking with Jack” (first aired on March 23,1983), where her character Terry, along with Janet, assist Jack on a TV cooking segment. She loved that episode, even though she acknowledged she did little, since her character stared into the camera with a frozen smile mesmerized, while Jack and Janet fall apart as they experience their own version of stage fright.
2 Steven Spielberg wanted her for the role of Willie Scott in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), but she couldn’t accept the role because she was still working on Three’s Company (1976).
3 Remained good friends with Three’s Company (1976) co-star Joyce DeWitt after the show’s demise.
4 She said her years on the show Three’s Company (1976) were the unhappiest in her professional career. She almost quit as soon as she was cast because she did not like the backstage atmosphere.
5 Was set to star in She’s the Sheriff (1987) as the sheriff, but shortly before production began she was let go and Suzanne Somers was brought in as her replacement.
6 Was Miss Photogenic in the Miss California Beauty Pageant
7 1st runner up in the Miss California Beauty Pageant
8 Sued Penthouse for re-publishing her nude photos under her real name.
9 Penthouse Pet of the Month, March 1976 under the name Joanne Witty.
10 Has previously held the following titles in her early starlet days: Miss San Fernando Valley, Miss San Bernadino, Miss Redlands and Miss Hollywood.
