Barbara's Early career
While it's now hard to imagine One Tree Hill without Barbara as mother to Nathan Scott, one of the central five characters in the show's first season, she was reportedly only originally billed for a three-episode appearance but became a series regular in the later seasons.
Before her role with the One Tree Hill crew, Barbara is best known for her role in Striptease alongside Demi Moore and Burt Reynolds in 1996 as well as the 1997 series Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
