Biography: |
Barbara Niven is definitely living her dreams! She’s one of Hollywood’s busiest actresses, shooting eighteen films and several TV guest star roles in the past three years alone. She also served three years on the National Board of Directors for the Screen Actors Guild.
Barbara says she is living proof that anyone can make his or her dreams come true, at any age, and is a popular motivational speaker. With brutal honesty and humor, she shares her secret struggle with an eating disorder to audiences across the country. People laugh, people cry, and people change. She’s also created a program called “ACT as if!” that combines the law of attraction with acting techniques, to help people create and start living their own personal and professional dream life right now, not someday. Her motto is: “Don’t settle for less than wonderful in your life. And don’t give up five minutes before the miracle."
She is living proof herself that this works. She didn’t start an acting career until she was almost thirty years old, putting her own dreams on hold while she became a wife and mother in Portland, Oregon. One day she received something in the mail from her upcoming ten year high school reunion, asking, “Have you achieved what you thought you would in your life so far?” She says it hit her like a ton of bricks that she was only living everybody else’s idea of who she should be. She decided she didn’t want to wind up wondering what if at the end of her life. So despite hearing that it was impossible, she "acted as if", didn’t take “no” for an answer and talked her way into a news internship at Portland‘s NBC affiliate, selling her first story to network. Then she discovered her real passion, acting, and has been making a living at it, against all odds, for over twenty years now.
A native of Portland, Oregon, Niven’s upbringing hardly suggested the career she chose to pursue. She dreamed of being an actress and writer – and loved being the center of attention as a child – but Niven was also decidedly a tomboy. She grew up with a horse in her backyard, and went hunting and fishing with the guys. She even taught duck calling! She married at a young age and had a daughter. She’s proud her daughter is going after her own dreams now, which are very different from hers. “That is the best gift I could have given her, watching me fight for my dreams, so that she now has the courage to make her own dreams and destiny come true.”
Barbara also hosts and produces two internet radio shows on www.bigmediausa.com. “SHOW BUSINESS 101: How to turn your Hollywood Dream into a Career!” and “ANIMAL RESCUE: Where to go, What to do, How to help!”
When she is not in front of the camera, Barbara takes time to pursue other aspects that enrich her life. She loves to say yes to adventure, and recently spent a week at a ranch in Montana, learning to herd and cut cattle. She is a beginning golfer and says she has a “magic putter”. She’s also a huge animal advocate and lends her support to numerous charitable organizations.
