Barrie Chase, a well-known figure in the entertainment industry, has garnered considerable success throughout her career. As of 2024, her net worth is estimated to be around $200,000. Born in the United States, Barrie Chase has made significant contributions in various roles, including being an actress, miscellaneous crew member, and even lending her voice for soundtracks. With her versatility and talent, she has managed to make a mark in the industry and achieve financial stability.
She appeared on the syndicated talk show version of The Donald O'Connor Show. Chase worked in the chorus of many Hollywood musicals, including Hans Christian Andersen (1952), Call Me Madam (1953), Deep in My Heart (1954), Brigadoon (1954), Kismet (1955), Pal Joey (1957), Les Girls (1957), and two Fred Astaire films, Daddy Long Legs (1955) and Silk Stockings (1957). She appeared in White Christmas (1954) as the chorus girl who speaks the line, "Mutual, I'm sure."
She danced on such live TV programs as The Colgate Comedy Hour and The Chrysler Shower of Stars. It was while she was working as Jack Cole's assistant Choreographer at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer that Fred Astaire asked her to be his dancing partner on An Evening with Fred Astaire. She made four television appearances as Astaire's partner in his television specials between 1958 and 1968. The two danced on Hollywood Palace in 1966. During this period, she dated Astaire, a widower.
Chase's other film roles included The George Raft Story (1961); the beating victim of a sadistic Robert Mitchum in the thriller Cape Fear (1962); and the dancing, bikini-clad paramour (restored footage revealed her character was in reality married) of Dick Shawn's maniacal character, Sylvester Marcus, in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963). She played Farida in the film The FLIGHT of the Phoenix (1965), starring James Stewart and Richard Attenborough, in a dream sequence. In 1965 she appeared on an episode of the Bonanza "The Ballerina" television series, playing a saloon Dancer who longed to be a ballerina.
In 1972, Chase retired from performing to devote herself to her own family. Twice divorced, she is currently married to James Kaufman; the couple have one child.
