Early life


Barbaro was born on June 18, 1990,[1][2] in San Francisco. She grew up in Mill Valley, California, where she graduated from Tamalpais High School in 2007.[2][3] Her parents divorced when she was a child.[3] Barbaro started dancing at an early age and would go on to study ballet. While taking electives in acting, she completed a degree in dance at the Tisch School of the Arts in New York City.[4] After graduating in 2010, she decided to pursue acting and returned to San Francisco.[5] There, she attended the Beverly Hills Playhouse acting school.[3]


Career


Barbaro gained attention in 2013 for her lead role in It's Not About the Nail, a viral comedy short about communication in a marriage.[6][7] Her first major television role was portraying the character of Yael on the second season of the Lifetime television series UnREAL.[8] Following UnREAL, Barbaro joined the cast of NBC legal drama Chicago Justice, an entry in Dick Wolf's Chicago franchise,[9] in which she portrayed Anna Valdez.[10] In 2018, Barbaro also played Cora Vasquez on Netflix's The Good Cop, alongside Josh Groban and Tony Danza. Between 2018 and 2019, Barbaro had a recurring part in the ABC sitcom Splitting Up Together.[11] In the 2022 blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick, Barbaro portrayed Lieutenant Natasha "Phoenix" Trace, a naval aviator.[12] Though it may have taken a back seat to her acting career, Barbaro shared that dancing is finding its way back into her life. "I'm bringing it all back because I realized I'm not getting any younger, so if there's a time to break out my dancing, it should be before it's too late."[13] In addition to a dance scene in At Midnight, scheduled for release in late 2022, she also claimed to be currently working on a movie heavily featuring dancing as a core plot point.[14]
