Barbara Tyson (born October 1, 1964) is a
HIV-positive character to be introduced in a daytime soap opera in the United States.[1] She was credited as Barbara Bush in her early roles.[2]
Originally from Capreol, Ontario,[2] she moved with her mother several times in childhood after her parents' divorce,[2] finally spending her teen years in Barrie, Ontario. Her first-ever acting audition was for a role in the Donald Sutherland film Threshold, which went to Mare Winningham.[3] She had early guest roles in Canadian television, and appeared as Carol Burnett's daughter in the television film Between Friends, before moving to New York City in 1985.[3] She had just $1.87 in her savings account the day she won her role in Another World.[4] After that role ended, she continued to appear in guest roles before securing her starring role in the Canadian series Neon Rider, which lasted for four seasons.[4]
She was nominated for a
Gemini Award for Best Guest Performance in a Series by an Actor or Actress in 1994 for a guest appearance in North of 60.[5]
