Biography
Born Catherine Brown[a] and raised in Sacramento, Barrie was the granddaughter of a wealthy wheat merchant in California.[4] Her father was Fred Brown, and her mother, Eva Brown, of Lincoln, California.[1] She had one older sister, Hermia (born 1906).[2] She graduated from Miss Head's School, a girls' boarding school in Berkeley.[5] After graduating, she worked as a model in New York City,[4] and became a muse of artist James Montgomery Flagg.[6][7] While in New York, she also performed professionally as a concert pianist.[8]
While modeling, Barrie was noticed by producer Edward Halperin (brother of director Victor Halperin[9]) who suggested to her that she seek a career in film.[9] After appearing in her feature debut in Party Girl (1930) opposite Douglas Fairbanks, Jr, she served as a model for the life-size bronze statue used to welcome visitors at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.[9] She subsequently appeared in Ex-Flame (1930), and the Western The Last Frontier (1932).[10] She was then cast in a lead role opposite Tom Mix in the Western Hidden Gold (1932).[10]
Barrie was married to Edward Halperin from 1928 until 1932, when he filed for divorce, claiming she did not love him.[11] She subsequently married Norman Coit Lee, a broker from New York City, on August 25, 1933 in Reno, Nevada.[1] After her marriage to Lee, Barrie formally retired from acting.[1]
