CareerKent was born Barbara Cloutman on December 16, 1907 in Gadsby, Alberta, to Lily Louise (née Kent) and Jullion Curtis Cloutman[1] In 1925, the same year she graduated from Hollywood High School, she won the Miss Hollywood Pageant.[2] That year she also began her Hollywood career in a small role for Universal Studios, which signed her to a contract.[2] A petite brunette, who stood less than five feet tall, Kent became popular as a comedian opposite such stars as Reginald Denny. She made a strong impression as the heroine pitted against Greta Garbo's femme fatale in Flesh and the Devil in 1926 after Universal had loaned Kent to MGM to make the film.[2] She then attracted the attention of audiences and censors the following year in No Man's Law by appearing to swim nude. She actually wore a flesh-colored moleskin bathing suit in scenes that were considered very daring at the time.[3] The popularity of that film led to her selection as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars for 1927. She made a smooth transition into talking pictures opposite Harold Lloyd in the 1929 comedy Welcome Danger.[3] Kent was also featured with Lloyd in his iconic Feet First.[2] Over the next few years, she remained popular and received critical praise in 1933 for her role in the film version of Oliver Twist.[3] Kent married talent agent Harry Edington in Yuma, Arizona, on December 16, 1932—her 25th birthday.[4] During a one-year hiatus, Edington groomed Kent for what he intended to be a high-profile career. By the time she returned to films, however, her popularity had waned and she was unable to reestablish herself. She made her last appearance on screen with Columbia's Under Age in 1941.[5] This final screen credit is attributed to Barbara on IMDb, but it and two other credits, Blondie Meets the Boss and The Fleet's In, belong to another younger actress also called Barbara Kent, born in England in 1921. Later yearsFollowing the death of her husband in 1949, Kent retreated from public life. She married Jack Monroe, an engineer, in 1954.[3] They lived in Sun Valley, Idaho, later settling in Palm Desert, California. She died in 2011 at 103 years of age. HobbiesKent had a great love for the outdoors. Always active, she enjoyed golf, fly-fishing, hunting, and gardening. She was a longtime member of Marakkesh, Sunland, and Thunderbird Country Clubs. She was known as a talented cook and loved entertaining friends and family. Kent continued to fly light aircraft until her 85th birthday and was still playing golf well into her mid-90s.[6] Filmography{{div col|colwidth=30em}}
