Anita Barone

About Anita Barone

Barone made her first stage appearance at age five in Detroit, where she was raised after her family moved from St Louis. By age 23, she had appeared in more than 50 plays, mostly in university production and regional theaters. Among her stage roles were Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet", Helen Keller in a production of "Monday After the Miracle" and the title role of Agnes, the young tormented nun, in "Agnes of God." She made her screen debut with a small role in "The Rosary Murders" (1987), had a bit in "Ricochet" (1991) and landed a lead in the indie romantic comedy "Just Friends" (1996). But Barone's first Hollywood employment of note was as a member of the stock company of "Carol & Company" (NBC, 1990-91), the ill-fated the attempt by Carol Burnett to revive the variety/sketch comedy program. Barone also appeared in the USA Network movie "Wounded Heart" in 1995. Eventually she returned to the weekly sitcom grind, co-starring with Michael Chiklis in "Daddio" (NBC, 2000- ).
